Nov 1/11 - starting the 2nd time through Chart A

Nov 5/11 - starting Chart C. Ran out of yarn so will finish with Royal Blue.

Rock Shrug - DONE!

Started Sept 3/11
Finished Nov 9/11


















This will be a shrug for my youngest. I LOVE the colors in this yarn.

The only confusing part was what to sew together for the arms. You need to sew the ribbing so that it becomes a complete loop. Then you pick up stitches to make the sleeve.



Needles: Size 3 & 5

Yarn: The Sanguine Gryphon Free Range in Rock Ptarmigan

Leftover Cowl - DONE!

Started Oct 20/11
Finished Oct 29/11




I had leftover yarn from the shawl I was knitting so I decided to make a cowl but Jennifer wanted a scarf. I modified the pattern. I am using size 7 needles instead of size 5. I casted on 42 stitches and purl the odd rows instead of knitted. I ran out of yarn so I sewed the ends to make a cowl.


Needle: Size 7 circular

Yarn: The Sanguine Gryphon Bugga! in Cockchafer

Black Lamb Shawl - DONE!

I like wider shawls so instead of the 117 stitches, I did 217 stitches. I also only did 8 rows of garter rather then the 18 rows.
