Cowls

I made several Cowls and Infinity scarves during the Holidays.  Here are a few of them.  The denim blue one has a twisted design on two sides and then it is trimmed in chocolate yarn.  The Cream one is a two-sided cowl.  Each side is in a different stitch and then joined together.  Both are very warm.

Elephant

About a month ago, I received a Yarn Players Newsletter and the feature was a beautiful Elephant created with the  Martha Stewart CraftsTM Knit & Weave Loom Kit.  I have been loom-knitting for a little more than a year and sometimes I get a bored with knitting the same types of things.  Needless to say, I was eager to give this a try and I must say that I am pleased with the results.  I modified the pattern a little to add my own little creative features (a strap for her to carry it around, longer tail, frilly tail on the blanket, double cord around the blanket, etc.).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2nd PEYTON (my niece)!
