Yarn: Mission Falls 1824 Cotton Pattern: Soft Drawstring Pouch by Joelle Hoverson Notes: Really only loosely based on this pattern; I cast on half the stitches called for to make a very small sack and other than that followed the instructions. It’s still kind of too big but I needed something for my soap scraps, the bathroom [...]
Yarn: HaldeCraft Handyed in “Sock Monkey” and Cascade 220 in “Japanese Maple” Pattern: Feline Dim Sum by Julie Falatko Notes: Made for Christmas stocking stuffers; hoping to make six, had time and yarn to make five (ran out of brown yarn after four so made one in Sock Monkey) and gave one away before being photographed. Meh. The [...]
I liked the other one I did so much that I decided to make another one; I haven’t yet decided what to do with it yet, though. I may put it up for sale on HaldeCraft.

Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Green Line DK in “Zombie BBQ” Pattern: Iris the Gourmet Monster by Rebecca Danger Notes: I wanted to put this on the class roster for next semester, but wanted to make sure I could actually make it; [...]
Yarn: Trendsetter Merinos VIII in “Martini” Pattern: Cable That Bag! by Chrissy Gardiner Notes: Made as a shop sample/future class
Yarn: Classic Elite Premiere Pattern: To be released in March 2011 Notes: Yup, another year-long afghan project!
Yarn: Aslan Trends Glaciar del Cielo and SWTC Vickie Howell’s Craft (my favorite cotton, ever). Pattern: More of a recipe than a pattern– see the notes below.
