I started this bear in 2007 when I was pregnant with my second baby. I had a little boy, so it sat neglected in a drawer waiting to be loved. I decided to give this to my new niece. I really enjoyed adding girly details to this little bear. All the embellishments came from Nicky Epstein's Knitting on the Edge series.

I wanted to make something nice for my very dear Great Aunt Irene. She is 90 years old, but you'd never really guess it. She is spry and spunky and someone I cherish very much. I chose a nice little shoulder shawl with faroese shaping. I made it out of a pretty silk/merino blend. This was a fun pattern and a nice, easy introduction into faroese shawls. She loved it and said she would pray for cold weather.

It's finally summer here in Minnesota and that means it's time to work in the garden. My long hair is always getting in my face while I dig in the dirt. The perfect little solution is a kerchief.

My brother and his wife were recently blessed with a beautiful baby girl. For my first project in my "52 projects in 52 week" quest I decided to make her a little baby blanket. I decided on the Teddy Bear Blanket from Crystal Palace Yarns. I used some durable acrylic yarn for easy maching washing.
