Purple Tutu

This was a request from a 16 yr old for her birthday!

It only took a couple of hours to make. The worst part was cutting 6 yds of fabric into 3" strips.

Round Hat

So I thought I would start knitting a hat, ad-libbing, to see what happens.


This is what happened.
Sometimes I wonder about the things I come up with, although I do think it is cute and the stripes are fun.
Anybody need a funky hat?

Purple Poncho


I just found this poncho sitting in my sewing room, finished. That was a quick projext and a lot of fun. It was made in the spring. The poncho is a very nice lavendar color and sized for a preteen, small teen, or petite lady. The back is straight across with a point in the front. It could be embellished in many ways such as bows or ribbons or flowers.

Aloha Shirts

These are the Clerical Aloha Shirts I made this week.
They were made using cotton fabrics bought in Hawaii. The shirts have placket fronts ad collars adapted to fit clerical tabs.

Candycorn Shawl

Finished this in a couple of days over Labor day week-end. I'm not happy with the way the hat is coming out so I'm still trying to fix it.
I have made another hat in the meantime as well as two Aloha shirts, I have also started making a Madrigal dress for an upcoming chorus performance.

Labor Day Weekend

I spent part of Friday and all of Saturday in Panama City Beach for a Taekwondo tournament. I don't do Taekwondo but my girls do, and need a driver/passenger. I started and almost finished a shawl. I got a lot of compliments from people who stopped to ask what I was making. The rest of this weekend was spent recovering from a stomachache and a headache. I will post a picture of the shawl soon.

Pompom Hat

I saw a hat like this but it was crocheted. I wanted to try knitting one. This is the result. I will start posting patterns that I create for those interested in trying to make something similar.

 

The bottom circumference is 11". It needs to be a little taller, I will include that change when I write up the pattern.

I am also considering starting an e-shop to sell all these things I love making but don't need. Any Ideas or suggestions?
