October 2016 - December 2016 Completed Projects


Zoe 3-in-1 dress - I made this in 2014 for my great-niece, and it still fits! Made from Dancing Leaf Farms Bee Bop, and the pattern is by Suzanne Williams. Saw it at Rhinebeck NYS Sheep & Wool, and just had to make it.


Effortless Cardigan - Indiecita Alpaca (Michell yarns) yarn purchased in Lima Peru, while on vacation. Used Malabrigo Lace to add more heft to the fabric. Pattern is by Hannah Fettig (KnitBot), and is top down construction.









 
Swedish Gradient Hat - A repeat of the hat I made in August, using the remainder of the Schoppel Gradient yarn and a different contrasting color (Malabrigo Merino in a dark blue). Yarn was purchased from The Yarn Attic in Hillsborough NJ.

 

Plymouth Cable Brioche Cowl - Using Gina yarn (originally intended for another cowl), and Shibui Merino Alpaca (discontinued). The pattern is free on Ravelry. Yarn is from my stash.

Mermaid Tail Blankets - Ella Rae Cozy Soft solids & prints. The blue one was made with a solid Cascade 220 Superwash, held together with an Ella Rae Cozy Soft print. The pink one was made with two strands of the Ella Rae (solid and print) held together. The tails were 2 Ella Rae solids held together. Pattern is Mermaid Tale Lap blanket by Angie Hartley, available on Ravelry. Ella Rae yarn is from The Yarn Attic in Hillsborough NJ. The Cascade 220 Superwash was from my stash. Gifts for two of my great-nieces.

Hestor Brioche Cowl (reprise) - Another version of the Hestor Cowl (Lori Versaci, available on Ravelry) made while teaching a Brioche workshop. Yarn is from Molly Girl (Rockstar). This was a holiday gift for my mother-in-law. Have another set of Molly Girl yarn to make one for me! All yarn purchased from The Yarn Attic in Hillsborough NJ.

Lila Cowl - This was a kit I purchased during the NJ Wool Walk in 2016 from The Blue Purl in Madison, NJ.  This is a Lux Adorna Knits Fun Size Bundle in sport weight, and the bundle included the pattern. However, I changed the pattern a bit, since I found the one included in the kit, as well as the one available on Ravelry, to have some inconsistencies. If you want to see the pattern changes I used, go to my Ravelry project page, and look for the Lila Cowl (my id is feltingsam).







Yarnimal Scarves - From Plymouth Design Studios. The kits are complete with pattern, and animal parts! Purchased from the Yarn Attic in Hillsborough NJ. Made them for my great-niece and great-nephew for the holidays.

Poinsettia - This was  the Dream Club kit from 2013 -  Poinsietta fingerless mitts and headband. However, I was able to get an additional skein of the yarn and turn the headband into a hat. Added the racoon pom -pom. All supplies purchased from The Yarn Attic in Hillsborough NJ. Was a holiday gift for my sister-in-law.






Barley hat - Hat pattern is by TinCan Knits, available on Ravelry (free download). Yarn is Berroco Vintage, from my stash (leftover from another project). Was a holiday gift for a great-nephew.






Seed Banded Slouch hat - pattern is a free one from Lion Brand. Yarn is Tosh Vintage in Whiskey Barrel. The hat was a sample at The Yarn Attic, where I purchased the yarn. Was a holiday gift for a great-nephew.





Windschief hat II - Second time I made this hat. The first was for my husband; this one was for my brother. Pattern is by Stephen West. Yarn is Madeline Tosh Vintage in El Greco, purchase at The Yarn Attic in Hillsborough NJ.




Wheat Scarf - Pattern is from TinCan Knits (on Ravelry). Yarn is from Good Karma Farm (60/40 Wool/Alpaca Worsted Weight), purchased at NYS Sheep and Wool a few years ago. The scarf was a holiday gift for my father-in-law.


Two x Two cowl - Pattern is from Tincan Knits (from Ravelry), using Ancient Arts Fiber's Big Squeeze (purchased online from Mont Tricot in Sutton Quebec). Buttons were from my stash (ceramic "cow" buttons).
