Now that Christmas is over and the new year has begun, what is on your mind to knit? Projects for yourself or starting next Christmas knitting now? I'm doing birthday gifts at the moment. Here are some pictures of knitting by Terry, one of our teachers. The mittens are from the book "Folk Mittens". The ones on the left are Lapland Mittens made with worsted weight yarn. On the right, Anatolian Mittens from Turkey made with Encore DK weight. What a great project for these long, cold winter days and nights.
How about a toy for a favorite child in your life? Terry knit Otto the Owl from the book shown below.

She also knit our sheep's outfit to keep her warm! Terry told me that after her sheep were sheared this past spring, we had a cold snap. She went down to the local thrift shop and bought a sweater for her old ewe to keep her warm until the weather warmed up. I thought that was a brilliant idea!
And, lastly a new scarf on display at the shop. This one is from the new one skein book, "101 Luxury Yarn One-Skein Wonders". Made with Sublime, it will take more than one skein though. But, it's soft and reversible. Also, it's a very easy cable pattern.
Close up of the scarf and remember all books are 20% off thru January!

I love this scarf pattern, Kathy. It is really pretty and feminine with the eyelets along with the cables. Great job. The blog is looking really nice. Cathy
