This is gorgeous. I've been wanting to knit a layering sweater for years now and can never quite make myself do it. Yours looks amazing!

My powers of persuasion are dangerous. I do not believe the world is ready.

I'm so happy to have this finally done! I used the Glam Shells pattern from Ravelry as an excuse to finally use my Zauberball yarn. The pattern was well written and I even got the hang of the lace edging. My only problem is that I had a hard time blocking it, especially around the edges, so that they didn't curl. Any tips?



I managed to sucker a friend into modeling for my at Easter. I also suckered her pillow into the same thing.



I have more nitty-gritty details on my blog, but in summary - the pattern and yarn were both great to work with. Easy project for an intermediate knitter.

These mittens look great and I love your marathon idea!

I wonder if maybe your decreases are causing the stitches to "travel", making it look swirled. It's actually a pretty cool look though.

I have fallen in love with melting crayons! I made these for goodie bags for pre-schoolers, but these would be a fun rainy day project for kids and adults alike.



I added a tutorial on how to make molded crayons with two methods on my blog (in my signature) in case anyone would like directions. This is a cheap and fun way to spend an afternoon.

The button band is Fabulous! My favorite color is orange, so I'm biased, but this looks great on you!

OMG! I flailed a little bit when I saw this. I LOVE this idea and I can't believe how great he looks. Well done!

Thank you, everyone! It was a great learning experience. Now I just have to improve my bead technique. Anyone have suggestions?

I'd been waiting for an excuse to buy Lion Brand Amazing yarn for a while now. I finally found a pattern that I thought would be great for it since it was a present - this used about one skein. Add a few glass beads on the trim and I was in business!



I used the Chastain Park Shawl pattern from Ravelry. I had a lot of fun knitting this and found it an easy knit. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. The yarn has more of a halo than I personally like, but the recipient loved it.
