I knit this shell for my mom, sorry only a pic of the yarn used.  It was a quick project, but the shaping was really a pain and took forever because it is to be worn under a jacket and not just by itself.  I have the pattern unedited if you want it, but it hasn’t been posted yet.  I made the pattern in the round, so besides weaving in ends and the three needle bind off at the shoulders, there is no seeming.

This pattern is also at the LYS.  I designed it for some new Noro yarn that was just coming out at the time.  I made sure that it only used one skein of the yarn because it was a little expensive, but you could use any worsted weight that you wanted.  I also added a frog on the front to dress it up a bit instead of a button.

I designed this pattern for our LYS.  It is simple, and goes quick.  You can contact Joyce at www.yarnshoponline.com if you would like the pattern.

Just thought this was really pretty and deserved to be in here.  My friend crochet two of these for me from worsted weight Sugar and Cream.  I keep one at my desk, and I keep one in my knit bag.  They work so well, I simply love them!  She wrote down the pattern and gave it to me so I guess I better get to work making some for stocking stuffers this year.

This is yarn I recently ripped out from an A&F sweater that was a thrift store find.  I didn’t realize it at the time, but it is 50% wool and was dry clean only.  Now that it is ripped out I just have to find a project for it and someone that loves it’s bright colors!  I have no clue what I will do with this.  I have a feeling that it might soon become a dog sweater or put in a trade of some sort.  I have half a sweater’s worth as the front had a zipper that was basically glued into it so I didn’t want to spend the time ripping it out.  I am trying to use the front to make a purse or something, so far it isn’t going as planned and will also probably end up in a trade.  It is definately a bulky weight.
