Camo Neck Warmers

About a year ago I did a blog on neck warmers and the fact that I was thinking of making them with camouflage yarn. 
Well this year I have made some and will have them at the Swissvale Farmers Market as the item of the week on Saturday, Oct 25, 2014.

Here are some pictures.

Pink Camo - I call it female camo

It is amazing how many different camo themed yarn Red Heart has.

Desert Camo
Mirage Camo

This is truly a unisex item as they would make wonderful gifts for both men and women.

I have also made them in solid colors as well.



These can be made in any color. Don't like what you see here and want something different - just ask and we can make you whatever color you want.

Socks vs. Hats


This month Donna received her knit kit and it was for socks. 
She doesn't like to make socks, in fact if someone asks us to make socks for them we tell them to go to Kohl's. 
With that in mind she made a hat using the sock yarn.



The yarn is from Three Irish Girls Yarn, Inc. from Duluth, MN. Each skein is hand dyed.
The name of this yarn is called Adorn Sock Yarn and the color is Spokane River Walk.
This yarn did make a very pretty hat, don't you think?
