Sock Yarn



This is Jackson. Jackson wore his sock yarn sweater to visit family in Chicago. Jackson is teething.

I designed this neck-down sweater using a double strand of superwash sock wool. It features cables on the body and the sleeves and a cross-over ribbed collar that makes it easy to get on and off.

"One-ders"



Got excited over some new yarn this week. Universal Yarn's "Tapestry" It's a self-patterning blend with great yardage on the ball.

Here are pictures of my design for a child's hat and mitten set called "Knot Just Another Hat (and Mittens)"

You get a set from one ball with enough left over to make another baby hat- how cool is that?
