February Knit Along on Ravelry
The February Advanced choice for the Dozen Shawls in 20Dozen was this gorgeous Cotton Bam Boo Kudzu Shawlette. I chose to knit this one in 50% cotton/50% wool blend in a beautiful deep teal color, which makes a perfect wrap for spring/summer.
The design is fabulous and the slight modifications to some stitches really make the pattern pop out!
I really enjoyed knitting this one and will probably knit it again soon.

Sunday Morning Kit Wit ~ Grey Cable Scarf and Olive Green Leaf Design Neckwarmer
I couldn't decide which project to feature this week, so I have included two this week.
While I was browsing through my knitting stitch book this week looking for some fun edgings to try, I came across this fun leaf design. I felt that it would make a great edge on a cowl or neckwarmer, so I got to work on it right away. I used Mission Falls Washable 1845 washable yarn in deep olive green. This yarn is wonderful to knit with! The cables in the neck area give the illusion of branches swirling down to the leaves and the wooden toggle button to keep it together adds a bit of woodland feel to the design.
Already, I am thinking of other ways to incorporate this edging in my designs, so be on the look out for some new patterns using this edge in the future.
My lastest creation is knit with super soft silver alpaca (my own hand spun) and grey wool (Paton's Classic).
Because it is knit on larger needles and the yarn is held double throughout, this scarf is airy, light and super soft.
I took the basic cable design a step further and incorporated a design that flows and swirls through the entire scarf. I also made cables on each edge for the scalloped look.
Both are available in my etsy shop and make perfect gifts. Just beware: If you are purchasing them for someone else, you just may keep them for yourself once you feel them!
What is on your needles? I'd love to hear what your current projects you are working on. Leave a message here or stop over to my FaceBook page and leave a photo too!
