Just in time for Christmas! Get ready for winter with Snowy the Snowman!  This is a great stash buster and quick knit holiday present!  He is knit in the round in one piece and is self standing.  Finished snowman measures 4.25” tall.  This pattern is knit in the round and there are no seams!  Check out my pattern page to buy one for yourself!

I love my new ring I got at Gen Con! It is a clicking counter ring and it is absolutely perfect row counter!  I haven't been using it for it's intended purpose, but it works really well!  I have been using it on my latest project and love how easy it is to use.  It holds it's place very well with the spring action, it doesn't slip to the next numbers.  As I always say "A girl can't have too many diamonds or row counters!"  :)  If you would like one, go to www.critsuccess.com and check them out.

My Friday classes were a blast!  It was wonderful to meet everyone and spread around the love for knitting!  I do have a refresher video that accompanies the class, but unfortunately, the link was broken.  I have now fixed it and I hope it will help!  Here it is!

I will be at Gen Con all day today in ICC 205-206 teaching classes.  If you have room in your schedule, I still have room in my Dr. Who Cowl class (2:00 pm) and Knit a Hat! Class (4:00 pm).  Hope to see you there!

Check out my latest design on the cover of Cast On Magazine!  This sweater is a great one for summer.  Nice and flowy and comfy!  It uses 2 types of yarn - lace weight and DK weight.  The lighter stripes are the lace weight and adds a nice bit of sheer to the sweater.  I made one for myself in teal blue.  I love it!
