I finally got my Elizabeth Zimmers Pi shawl done! Mine is made in worsted weight, (probably red heart) I bought a couple of blankets from thrift stores and frogged them because I wanted the pretty yarn. Colors are dark purple looks plum? and Orchid. I lost at yarn chicken so I bought the orchid to complement. I used the EZ 100th anniversary pattern Hearts and used her border from the Knitting Almanac. EZ 100th Anniversary PI... Finally finished my Pi Shawl!!

Here are a few projects I test knit/crocheted recently. I was reminded from another post I hadn't posted these ones here yet. They were easy to make. I'll link to the published patterns if anyone is interested. Olive Branch by Dani Gherardi I had posted about snipping a stitch in the middle front of this one when snipping off the tails after weaving in the ends. Luckily you can't see where I kitchener stitched the front... A Few Finished Projects

Just completed this scarf, which was fun to do it is a paid pattern on Ravelry by Stephen West

This is a wrap I made some time ago, but just recently blocked and added fringe. I am not a fan of fringe but I loved it for this one. It is designed by the talented Kaffe Fasset on Ravelry. I made the updated version with most of the colors listed-all Rowan's Kidsilk Haze. The three pictures are modeled by my "Suzie Q"; she went into retirement after my last craft fair but came out to model on a beautiful autumn day. The photos show just three ways to wear this; the 3rd one is my... My Earth Stripe Wrap

All the expectant mothers in my life are having girls, but I'm tired of knitting with the normal girly colors. This sweater is supposed to have a hood, but I didn't have enough yarn.

Made this for someone fighting cancer. Made with Bernat Harmony yarn. He wanted a blanket to snuggle with on the couch with his significant other and their dogs!

I was busy last couple of weeks crocheting more little stuffies for give-away at Christmas. The last one is a big brown dog that's laying down. Different than what I usually make. I'm working on a Winnie the Poo and a Humpty Dumpty. Those will be for next time. Hope you enjoy. [ATTACH... Busily crocheting amigurumis

Link to my Ravelry project: Ravelry: runflyski's Helen scarf www.ravelry.com I asked about how to block this in this forum. I bought floral wires but didn't use them. Sorry for the terrible picture. I said that I would post a picture when I finished.

Just finished this small cape. It is my attempt to finally use up some scraps of gorgeous yarns which have been sitting around for years. 4 different yarns: 2 are multi-coloured (Louisa Harding Mazzo ); 1 is self-striping/gradient (Louisa Harding Provence ); and 1 is solid ( Pima Colada by Plymouth Yarns). Thickness/weight not all quite the same. They have a bit of shimmer/sparkle not visible in... Openwork Cape Shawl by Katherine Eng.

Finally added the buttons to these. I‘ve been inspired by Deegle and use a basic pattern (I used Marianna Mel’s) and add some details. Marianna's Lazy Daisy Designs | free modern baby knitting patterns

These were in the library case. My mom did the blue penguin.

Did I ever play yarn chicken. 4 colors and I ran out of 3! My bindoff is actually a different yarn I had to start. I will use this pattern again and again. It is a mindless knit and great stashbuster. Using this vintage mohair is like stroking a pet to knit with. Yes I had to tink when I ran out of a color. Now I would like to try the same pattern in a long colorway yarn as the pattern calls for instead of creating my own stripe pattern. This is now a gift for a dear friend of a dear... Finished the Feldmark scarf in mohair.
