New Year - New Projects

Happy New Year - 2016 is now upon us!
Knitting by Pam and Donna are already busy coming up with new items for the new year.

These scarves we're going to show you are made using remnants from projects where we had a little bit of yarn left. Basically you knit this scarf using a circular needle so you can cast on a lot of stitches and knit a row or two of each ball selected. 
You leave a good bit of yarn at the beginning and end of each row to make fringe.

Take a look - no two are alike - all unique pieces!





For those of you who know knitting terminology - this is a real stash buster.

Happy New Year!

Special Orders

Knitting by Pam and Donna sure have had a lot of Special Custom Orders this year. 

Let's start out with a couple projects inspired by colleges.

Nebraska Cornhusker Headbands

Penn State Hanger

Head gear has been very interesting this year as well.

Slouchy Hats made using Alpaca yarn

Fox Hood  

Ninja Turtle Hat

One of the ladies from the Friends of the Swissvale Library asked us to make her Dobby, the house elf from Harry Potter. 
We did not think he would be as big as a small child until we started working on him.

Dobby
As you can see some of these custom orders were quite challenging - but that is how you learn how to do new things.
I am proud to say that we figured out each and every project.
Both Donna and I as well as the customer were very pleased with the outcomes.
