Customer F/O’s – Accessories!

Well, no question about it, we did have snow, didn’t we?  I hope it was the whole winter’s worth at one go so we don’t have to deal with that again! I also hope you had enjoyable knitting to do while you watched the snow fall.  I got a few things finished, but I’m here to show you other people’s beautiful finished items!

First, I want to remind you that Lynne’s Beginner Crochet class is coming up on the Saturday the 13th.  If you’ve ever wanted to try this craft, or need a refresher on the basics, there are a couple spots open.  I do a bit of crochet and have had a hankering to do a project for the new baby that my niece is expecting.  I love this little bunting:

and I would love to make this little African flower dog, done in fingering weight, and I have loads of sock yarn scraps:

I’m neither a confident nor fast crocheter so either project will require a time commitment, but I think they’re worth it, and I know who to ask if I run into trouble, since Lynne has done at least one outstanding African Flower project from Heidi Bears (and we’ve got the owl to prove it!)

Okay, on with your projects!

Beautiful shawl knit by David Ritz from a pattern by Josh Ryks called Stained.
