This one I knew was going to be a pillow. I just wasn’t sure what design would be on each side. So, I did a diamond pattern for one side, and it was suggested requested that I make it resemble the Canadian flag in some way. So, I got out the graph paper and got […]

C2C Afghan 2017
Twin size afghan made for the spare bedroom of our apartment. I just love the colors! The yarn used is Caron® Cakes™ and the color is called “Faerie Cake”. Beautiful soft teals/greens/creams. In the border I also used solid white Lion Brand® Pound of Love™, followed by more of the Faerie Cake color. I do […]

Knit Stretch Slippers 2013 & 2014
These are the same slippers I always make. These were a friend of mine in South Texas, who says they are just like the ones her mother used to make 50 or more years ago. It is a standing tradition now, that I send her at least one pair of these EVERY Christmas! The first […]
