grooviest buttons



These vintage Czech glass beauties were worth every penny. There is a seller on ebay who
has a huge selection. Next time I will buy the buttons first and knit the sweater around them. I had a terrible time finding the right color green, a style that I liked and something with the vintage look that I was after. I scored with these. The picture does not do them justice.

Woven Cable Scarf

chunky......color looks sort of yucky, it's a beautiful cranberry color that is hard to capture on digital camera.

Example for cable class at Cast Away


Will be made up with two skeins of Misti Alpaca Chunky. I am trying to get this finished quickly so it can be on display at Cast Away in Santa Rosa for a class on learning cable stitch that I will be teaching. I am really excited about this!! This is a fabulous new yarn store located in Old Railroad Square in downtown Santa Rosa.
