New Knitting Project

I have been wanting to start a new knitting project for some time. Since the boys are getting so big, I have resisted knitting them sweaters due to the time and effort invovled in knitting something large. However, a pattern in the Fall Issue of Interweave Knits Magazine caught my eye. It is a basic men's sweater pattern, knit in the round from the bottom up. While surfing the internet I found another gal who had made the same sweater with rave reviews. So, I decided to try it.

Those are the photos from the magazine, although I think this sweater will look just as cute on my boy!

I am using Patons Classsic Merino Wool Yarn in Paprika.

Flower Power

I went crazy making up these little flower pins. One thing led to another, and I got an idea for Christmas cards. I used to do little needlefelted pin cards - you know - send a pin to a friend... I thought the poinsetta theme was very festive!
