Another one


Here is another of the same design I did for a special person in my life -- her birthday is coming
up and I wanted to do one for her. I used a
grey mottled chunky for the yoke and sleeves. I hope
she likes it - it - she likes my hats so will do a hat in the grey I think.




I'm still knitting


I just finished a cardigan in my 'coat of many colors' (my own design) -- for my sister
who lives on a beautiful lake in Ontario. I do hope she likes it. I love doing these
style sweaters as it is fun to play with the colors.

She is originally from the west and fell in love
with the Ontario autumn colors so I used a lot
of reds, oranges, browns etc. with a green yoke and lighter green border . I am thinking of doing a hat to go with it.

More sweaters




I just finished a multi colored heavy cardigan for the evenings which can get quite chilly here
I am really happy with it . I crochet the yoke and the borders and knitted the colored intarsia pattern -- it is in knitting worsted and I think I will get quite a lot of use out of it.

I also made myself a pretty 3/4 sleeve cotton sweater with a cable down the front.
