Green Sweater


Note from Heather:  I used Lion Brand Thick and Quick yarn.  I bought 2 skeins of the green "grass" yarn in WI.  I used my stash to add some stripes because I was nervous that 2 skeins wasn't enough for the sweater.  I was right.  I sent my mom back to her Michaels store and I ventured to 2 stores.  My friend Diana finally found the yarn in Minneapolis.  I was hoping the thicker yarn and larger needle size would work on this pattern that I like so much!  It didn't.

Janet's Hermione Hat







Note from Janet: Here is my Hermione hat that I made with Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran (which was a Christmas gift) to make a perfect gray hat for myself! The pattern was simple and knit up quickly, and the yarn is lovely! I wish I had done a twisted rib for the ribbing, but I didn't check out other peoples' projects and comments until I was ready to decrease. Doing an alternate cable cast on was enough to think about at the time! Maybe I'll make another one sometime. Now I need to get to work on my husband's Harry Potter scarf, hat and mittens :)

More Dishcloths by Stacy




Note from Stacy:  This will be all of the washcloths for a while for me!  BUT....there are four that I want to do for two new babies. I bought the super soft I love this cotton yarn for that.
