Knitting: Baby Blanket
This is a very rough first draft of the pattern designed to mimic the receiving blanket that Princess Charlotte was presented to the public in.
Knitting: Earflap Hat
I am a huge fan of Norah Jones. Mostly because of her music, but she shows off some great knitwear in her music videos. I noticed a hat with an interesting construction in her Young Blood video and I knew I needed to have one of my own. The big cables and bulky yarns will fit in seamlessly with this season’s love of big, chunky knits
Crochet: Market bag (slouchy)
A simple Market Bag pattern. Designed for a class at the Wild Ramp Farmer’s Market in Huntington, WV.
Crochet: Softies - Other
A crocheted model of the H1N1 virus with a bit of a twist. It is not only covered with beads representing the two proteins covering the surface of the virus, but it also has a snout. Send your loved ones the gift of swine flu.
Crochet: Scrubber
A crocheted dish scrubber that is great to use to remove that stuck on stuff. But it is gentle enough to not ruin your dishes. One side is smoother while the other has ridges from working in the back look. Made from a roll of tulle that can be found in your local craft stores wedding aisle, I can get about 4 or 5 smaller or 2 to 3 larger scrubb...
Knitting: Softies - Other, Toys and Hobbies - Other
A tiny little sock that makes a great addition to a key chain or as a charm on your cell phone. It is also a great way to use up little bits of sock yarn if you aren’t crazy enough to make a blanket out of your sock yarn scraps (I say that out of love, I am making one of those blankets myself).
Knitting: Washcloth / Dishcloth
A dishcloth to clean up after life’s little (or big) messes.

Crochet: Coaster
A great gift to make in a hurry
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
This pattern was inspired by the hat that Norah Jones wears at the end of the movie My Blueberry Nights. Maybe if you make it, you’ll get to kiss Jude Law too. Although it hasn’t happened to me yet.
Crochet: Washcloth / Dishcloth, Scrubber
These are also great soap holders. Before you close up the last side, slip a bar of soap into the pocket. It scrubs hands really well and keeps the slimey bar of soap from sticking to your sink.

Knit on the Yellow Knifty Knitter

Crochet: Toy Game
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Knitting: Scarf
FIL Cable Scarf- a cabled scarf I designed for my FIL. Unfortunately, I did it in acrylic, so it wouldn’t block when it eventually curled itself into a tube. I also did it in a varigated yarn, while lovely, completely hid the pattern. So for all those who are interested in this pattern, keep in mind that I only got about 1.5 feet into the scarf...
