Anna McConkey sent in this photo of her little tote knit with  Lion Brand Homespun yarn,  all one  color.  She used the   Fleur  Tote Pattern    but without  the  fleur de lis design.   With a different yarn and adjusting the pattern a little you can achieve a very different look.

Great job Anna!

  Nice job!!! I’ve been working on mittens and slippers, but maybe I’ll be able to slip a bag in there soon. But when you have seven kids who all want new slippers and mittens….:-)

  I am just wondering if the tote can be bigger….hmmmm and maybe a pretty felting to carry xtra stuff. I got the 28 Inch board so looks like I have a new project to try…..So many design possibilities! I am still finishing that large sweater I started, and I get alot of curious looks @work. ….. More lunch times of pure bliss!

Just in case you missed this!

Cheryl Wurtenburger knit this little doll  for her daughter.   I think it’s really a great idea.  You can make  many different dolls and stuffed animals with just some imagination and little time.  Also, its such a great way to use up left over yarns.

Just had to share!

 When I asked about shade plants, I really received some great ideas from many folks.   Here are some photos sent to us from Dora R Wilkerson.   Thanks to all for the imput.   I am going to have so much fun once the rain ever returns to our Virginia area.

  Love the look of this vest top, I am just wondering if you have a free pattern for this particular top for the knitting board? Thank you in advance and very new to knitting all around. I do crochet alot, then asked Husband to buy me the 18″ knitting board and he did, love practicing on it. I am working on making something to wear and my 3 yr old daughter said to make her a top. Keep up the great web site.

Dora’s Warm Afghan

This is an extra thick and warm Afghan by Dora Renee Wilkerson. It was knit on an “S” Loom which means it was done with 2 loops over 2   – or double thick. Dora says ” If I was to do it all over again, I’d do it 1 over 1 and 2 feet longer. I do like it, and boy, it’s warm! It will be great for those cold nights.”

Yarn used was Pebbles yarn, about 53 skeins. It looks like a great pattern for the 28″ knitting board.

Now Dora is working on some camp shorts for her son. He’s in the photo on the sofa.

Thanks for sharing. Now we’ll have to wait to see the shorts.
