This is the first sweater that I have ever made. I used the pattern from stitchdiva but did a less advanced skill level. Theirs has a pattern knitted into the garment and I just did a simple stitch with beading added. I used Caron Simply Soft yarn instead of the recommended yarn and I think that it came out ok.

I love how the flags came out on this. There were lots of sc stitches done on this project and tons of joining but all in all I think that it came out ok.

I fell in love with this apron the minute that I saw the pattern in the Crochet-A-Day Calendar.
I made my Hungarian Heirloom Apron with cotton crochet thread that I had around my house. I loved working with this pattern. I had a hard time reading a crochet pattern at first but once I understood it, I had no problem at all. I can't wait to make more so that these can be heirlooms in my family.

After my cashmere sock experiment, I decided that I would try another pattern. I stumbled into my LYS (which happens to be Janet Kemp) and found a pattern and yarn made out of crab shells of all things.

This pattern came out of a book-of-the-month club and happened to amuse me for a night.

Considering that this is my first sock, I would have to give myself a pat on the back. One to go.

One sock down, one to go. I am not in love with the heel of the sock but I do have to say that I do love the rest of it.
