Showing off some knitting

Just finished my Betty Mouat Cowl by Kate Davies Designs and wanted to show it off.

I used yarn from the Plucky Knitter.

Handspun Yarn

I know...where has it been. My poor wheel had dust on it.

Handspuns are back. See them all in my Fiber Lovers Shop on Etsy

A Cow At Last

Several of you have asked about a cow. I'm thrilled to announce she's ready to meet you. Not sure why a cow took me so long (especially since there are lots of cows lounging in my kitchen).

Newest Crochet Pattern, Cute Cow

Love Those Bears, New Polar Bear Crochet Pattern

Can't help it. Love them. Especially polar bears. I was lucky enough to see two polar bears this month while visiting my son in New Mexico. They didn't have cute hats of course.

Great Trip, Back to Work

I had a great time visiting my son in New Mexico. It's a fun place to visit with lots to see and do. Hope you had a great weekend.

Off to New Mexico

Bags are packed, heading out the door early in the morning and heading to New Mexico for a few days.

I'll be back Tuesday, September 11th. Wool and Whims (Etsy Shop) is currently on Vacation Mode, but if you would like any of the patterns right away, you can get immediate PDF downloads from my  Website, Ravelry, or Craftsy.  If you have any questions, maybe the pictures or tutorials here will help. If not, please send me an email and I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as I can.

Have a great weekend.

Love Those Bears

Can't help it, I'm a bear lover. So I had to have another one. This sweet cub is approx. 16 inches tall from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. His pattern comes with instructions to make both the flower and the bow. So make him in your favorite colors or match a baby's nursery for a sweet gift.

Favorite Teddy Bear is made with two strands of worsted weight yarn held together throughout. You will need to know basic crochet stitches (i.e., single crochet, double crochet) and how to crochet in the round.

Patterns are available now through the website, Ravelry, Etsy or Craftsy

New Cute Witch Crochet Pattern

Seems a little hard to imagine right now, but...it will be here before you know it. Time for holiday patterns and changing seasons.

I'm thrilled to introduce my new Witch pattern
