Team Spirit

The Pittsburgh Steeler Season is upon us!

My neighbor asked me to make some scarves that her family could wear to the games.

Remember back in school when we made the paper chains from construction paper for the Christmas Tree - that is what I did to make this scarf.





I used Caron One Pound skeins. The color "Sunflower" is the perfect Steeler gold.
Of course you could make these for any team using their colors.


How do I link them together you ask. I use a circular needle and cast on as many stitches as I will need and put it through the previous link.


I hope these scarves bring the Steelers some luck this year!
Go Steelers!

We also have some of the Yorganza Scarves in their shop. I blogged about these scarves at the beginning of July.



In the fall we plan on taking some of our knitted hats to their store.

For Sale - Craft Items

The McClure Ave Yard Sale is just a couple days away. I did see in some local newspapers that this is the weekend for yard sales in Swissvale. Several streets are having sales.

At my house you will find some craft items for sale. Since we now have a knitting business I do not have the time to do as much cross stitch as I would like.

Pictured here you will see what I have for sale.

Two cross stitch kits and some small round frames.
Here are some kits that I acquired somewhere along the way.
Here are some holiday frames - stitch something to put in them.
Makes great gifts!
Since the last picture was holiday related. I am going to show you something that will be at the sale that is made using wine glasses.


Aren't these cute! Just another way of recycling everyday items.
