Benson is a child's hoodie that I made for my great-nephew Henry, for his 1st birthday! The pattern is from Berroco's Big Kids/ Little Kids book. I made it using Vintage Chunky and Vintage (for the inside placket, which of course you can't see). I originally purchased the yarn last year for a different child's sweater, but then changed my mind, and had to buy some more for this one. It's from Knit-a-Bit in Westfield, NJ.. Of course, I have some more Vintage Chunky in other colors, and will just have to come up with another sweater for one of the kids.So.. some half of this yarn was purchased last year, and the other this year (oh well).
The Rockefeller Shawl is a Stephen West creation for his 2012 KAL. The yarn is Indigo Moon Blue Faced Leceister wool, and was purchased at Mont Tricot in Sutton QC, while I was on vacation this past summer. I just can't pass up yarn while on a bike ride! Ok, so I bought this yarn this year.. But I managed to knit it up this year, so I haven't added it to my stash.
The Inside Outside Scarf is from "Knit one Below", and uses Just our Yarn cashmere, which I purchased at NYS Sheep & Wool in Rhinebeck NY last year.
The Lamp Shawl is from "White Whale Vol. 1", and is made with Neighborhood Yarn Co.'s Maisonette DK (merino and silk). I purchased it at Fibre Space in Alexandria VA, my reward for going down to pick up my husband after his 3 day bike ride on the EMS Memorial Bike Tour. Yes, some more yarn purchased this year, and knitted up this year, so at least my stash isn't getting larger (yet).
