Raglan Cardigan
A while back I was at a LYS and fell in love with Plymouth Yarn Encore Dynamo color 041. A combination of grays, oranges and greens. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it.

Toaster Sweater
I have long loved the Sew House Seven Toaster Sweater. When Simplicity came out with a similar version, I bought it during a sale at JoAnn Fabrics. Then months went by and I never had a chance to sew it. Now that the kids are back in school, I set to work. I had two … Continue reading Toaster Sweater

Evolution of a Sweater
I am happy to report I have cast off my FIRST sweater! It all began when the pattern for The Easy Bulky One by Joji was released. I promptly purchased it and the recommended yarn, Quarry by Brooklyn Tweed (purchased online from a lovely shop-Wool & Co.-they packaged the yarn so beautifully!)

I finished two projects this week. I finished Miss Mary's Bug Warmer Sweater! She picked the colors, told me when to switch and has told me this will be her "house sweater, just like your's mama" (ie my Telluride Sweater, which I wear all the time in the house). Miss Mary's sweater is a free … Continue reading Finished X 2
