Booga Bag by Donna

Felted/Unfelted

Butterfly by Rosa-Maria

Yarn: 12 ½ skeins Noro Kureyon 212
Pattern: Butterfly from Noro Knits by Jane Ellison
Rosa-Maria says, “I had to knit it twice since the first one was too large on me...Size M...although I normally would wear a Medium. Then, I knitted the Size S and it is just perfect. I had to reinforce the shoulders so they would sit right on my shoulders. The yarn is of excellent quality...warm and breathable...and it's a delight to work with.”
Your perseverance really paid off; the sweater is beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Lizard Ridge Afghan by Jean

Yarn: 21 skeins Noro Kureyon assorted colors
Free pattern: Lizard Ridge Afghan from Knitty Fall 2006
Wow, Jean, your afghan is spectacular! Thanks for sharing such a gorgeous project with us.
The Lizard Ridge pattern is one of the more ingenious uses of Kureyon's long color repeats. I'm sure Jean would agree since she just started Lizard Ridge #2!

Slip Up Socks by Beverly

Yarn: Araucania Ranco Multi 302
Free Pattern: Slip Up Socks by Dee Bamford
Gauge: 8.5 stitches on 2.25 needles
Beverly says, "LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. Have I mentioned how much I love this yarn? No pooling, striping, nothing just smooshy color all over, and very soft and great feel."
As you know, Ranco is one of my favorite sock yarns, even if it's part of my never-ending Pomatous. Great job Beverly!

Crocheted Wave Afghan by Carlene

Yarn: Noro Kureyon - 35 assorted colors
Pattern: Crochet Wave Afghan that was a special purchase from The Village Yarn & Tea Shop. Please contact them for more information. It was inspired by the knitted Lizard Ridge Afghan from Knitty Fall 2006.
I think we all know why Carlene is smiling; your afghan is wonderful!

Hat by Diana

Yarn: Cherry Tree Hill Potluck Worsted color Jewels
Pattern: Robert's Flat Brimmed Felted Hat the Revised Felted Hat Pattern from Great Gals Hats by Gail Strobl.
According to Diana, "The yarn is so great it practically knit and felted itself. Be prepared for a wonderful knitting adventure. When first felting, this yarn looked like I would have the Cat in the Hat's version of striped rings. Just keep felting to size and it will be beautiful. I shorted the crown 10 rows, but I don't think I would a second time. The hat is warm and I hardly ever take it off."
I see why you don't take it off since your hat turned out great!

Rosedale by Denise

Yarn: 11 skeins Noro Kureyon color 153
Free Pattern: Rosedale by Amy Swenson
Gauge: 18 stitches/24 rows to 4"
According to Denise, "So much has been said about this yarn. I hated the twigs & knots but have to admit it is beautiful when finished. Loved the pattern!"
I couldn't agree more with your assessment on Kureyon and your sweater did turn out beautifully!

Butterfly Bows by Beverly

Beverly, your socks look great. I love the colors in the yarn and the way they come out with the butterfly stitch. Keep those pictures coming and good luck with Summer of Socks 2008!
