Harry is here, finally...............and Etsy store coming soon....

YEAHHHH**** Finally finished it.... Harry Who????.... and got lots of pretty good photos today. soooo excited. Totally wrote the pattern, his black robe, sleeves, and red tie. I needle felted the hair, that part was so much fun...enjoyed the whole thing...this is my own pattern and is only for myself. I have no intention of selling him or selling the pattern...but it was a great personal challenge....
please leave me feedback as to what you think. it's inspiring me to write more patterns.





Harry and the Whomping Ivy Plant






And Harry needs some kind of spell for that cat who is about to eat him....the rest are Harry in the garden...by the way, Harry is a finger puppet, which can be seen in one of the photos....

Even more exciting, almost have my first item ready to post in the Etsy store, it is a regular item, that should be popular, unlike my other unusual (which can't really be called regular items) knits................................

~Had hard time getting a good photo of my crocheted and beaded bracelet...am also making knitted jewelery...and my shrug, despite my 2 BIG projects, is almost done...also got my acid dyes in mail from Knit Picks---Jacquard....so that project should be done soon too....Let me just say, writing patterns is so addicting............................

sockolicious yarn and meet my WIP "the Sweater From Hell"

For those of you that think all I knit is toys, food, and just plain misc. useless stuff, of course you're right. however it's time you meet my own work in progress:





Drum roll please, the sweater from hell. It's lace work, K3 tog, and cable worked on tiny needles and completely insane, but here's an update I better include what it ultimately should look like.





Also if it seems like I've made little progress... I did have to pull out about 20 rows...yeesh.


I do have another sweater, an easy one and some small items in the works...this crazy sweater will be an ongoing more long-term project.



also a photo of new sock, love the yarn, it's shiny with silver sparkles...so here goes

Put your best foot forward............



this yarn is truly sockolicious
