Crocheted  from such Unique Tredsetter Soleil yarn with  wooden beads
and cut fabric leaves, these scarves are not only a perfect addition to your
fall wardrobe, but also will not not cost you a fortune (Ecru scarf takes just
One hank of yarn and Brown wrap-scarf made from one hank of Tredsetter
Solei and less than one hank of Cascade Sierra). A Great gift idea to!

 
P.S.: Dear Ladies, I’m so sorry for the delay with responses on your emails. 
I was sick like a dog almost whole this week  and just  so slow  to catch up
everything.  So  Glad  back  to normal and  get  my energy back!! The  only
dilemma  is where  to start ;o)
Thank you so much for your patience! I’ll email you shortly!

A Wonderful weekend to everyone!

And an ~Adult~ version…

… that I’ve promised to Kristin ;)  She fell in love with Plymouth Oh my!
yarn I’ve choose for Polar Bear Baby coat, but sure my almost 9 years  
old found it too infanty (and she’s perfectly right) Well, below is a sneak
peak of her jacket.  I’m SO thrilled that Kristin loves and I’ve got approval 
on this design ;o)
City Girl Sneak Peek copy
My favorite part of this jacket it’s a Striped pattern, which is alternation
of Oh My! yarn and plain cotton  applied for sleeves and front of jacket.
Rows of plain  cotton are emphasizing  a Beauty and texture of Oh my!
Amazingly!! Modeled pictures and pattern coming soon…

Next  on  my  schedule is  working on some fall  and winter accessories
and something for holidays. And sure patterns, including and Free ones.
Stay tuned. Oh and you have some requests or would like me to design
something special for you, please feel free to post it here or email me at
[email protected] 

A FABULOUS and FUN weekend to everyone!! 

Featured Yarn 31. Plymouth Yarn Co. Oh my! Nylon

You know I’m pretty partial to natural fibers. But there are times when
you really want a synthetic for its non-allergenic, easy-care properties. 
I took one look, one feel of Oh My! by Plymouth and understood how it
came by its name.

Fiber Content: 100% Nylon  
Yardage: 70 yds/ 50 g (1.75 oz)
Gauge: 3 3/4 sts =1” 6MM (US #10) 
Weight: Bulky
Plymouth Oh my! Ball  Plymouth Oh my! Color Card copy

This is INCREDIBLY soft and supple yarn! Make everything for baby with
this, from  washcloths to jackets.  The  only thing…  please keep in mind
that due to small yardage per ball this yarn is enough pricey for projects
like blankets …but I bet  every little wonder will ADORE it ;o) This yarn is
machine washed and gently dried.
