Pattern: Chinese Charm Bag - Stitch 'N Bitch p169
Yarn: Leftover remnant from Elmore
Needle: 9 US 24" circular
Notes: I still need a lining and a little extra embellishment. I think it's knitted a little long. This was my first experiment in knitting in the round.

Pattern: Chinese Charm Bag - Stitch 'N Bitch
Yarn: Yarn Bee (Hobby Lobby Brand)Dreamy Chenille(Eucalyptus), Mosaic Twist (Blue lagoon) Fleece Lite (sandstone)

Notes: I still need a lining. Lack of lining seems to be a trend. I don't have a sewing machine and my hand stitching is pretty uneven. I know ...practice, practice, practice

Pattern: Branching Out
Yarn: Plymouth Yarn - Baby Alpaca Brush # 567
Needle: 8 US
Notes: This was my first entry into lace. I don't think I would use the same fuzzy yarn again. After a visit with the steam iron, the lace detail was a bit clearer.

Yarn: Moda Dea Sassy Stripes# 6997
Needle: 5 US dpn
Notes: Not my first socks, but the only photo worthy version. I am still getting holes at the ankles. Perhaps I will get better with practice or I may break down and take a class. Next time, I will try to match the color pattern better on the second sock. I didn't really notice it until about 1/2 way through and I was not about to rip it out.

Pattern: Wee Poncho - Lion Brand Yarn
Yarn: Color waves and Lion Suede
Needle: 10.5 US
Notes: My first clothing attempt that wasn't a scarf. I am not convinced it will fit my "victim"...we'll just have to wait to see

Notes: I made a partial lace cane and a bull's eye cane. I used generic beads from Michael's and nylon cording. I copied the bracelet closure from Michelle Ross via Carol Duvall. There is a macrame slip knot. Slip in on your wrist and pull the two cords in opposite directions.

Notes: This is my first flower cane. I can see what I did wrong and hope the next will be less distorted.

Yarn: Knit Picks Simple Stripes 75% Superwash Wool , 25% Nylon
Needle: 1 US
Notes: My second pair of socks. They actually fit! I had issues with the toe but over all I am pleased. I think I need to go down a needle size on the ribbing so they stay up better.
