Shrug

Donna and I are making some news items as we prepare for the Covered Bridge Festival next month. 

On this blog we are highlighting a shrug. 

This was an easy pattern to make. 

When you see it laid out as we have it here in this picture it doesn't look like much.

Here's what it looks like on.

This is made using one of my favorite yarns Titan from Mary Maxim.
We have made two colors - hunter green as you see above and brown as you see below.

Leave us a comment below to tell us what you think of this project.

World Wide Knit in Public Day - 2016

World Wide Knit in Public Day is June 18, 2016. 

People all over the world are taking to the outdoors to knit for others to see. 

Knitting by Pam and Donna celebrated at the Swissvale Farmers Market along with a few friends from our knitting groups and neighborhood.

This was a great way to start the weekend!

Why Animals?

We have been at the Swissvale Farmers Market for a month now and we have noticed that the stuffed animals Donna of Knitting by Pam and Donna makes have clearly been our top sellers.

There are reasons why we pick some animals - let us share our method to our madness with you.

The most recent animal we had at the market were the penguins. Now if you are living in the Pittsburgh Region this is a no brainer as the Penguins are currently in the Stanley Cup Finals.

In mid - May the Angry Birds movie was released so that is why Donna made Angry Birds.

It was announced that the huge rubber ducky that was in the river at Point State Park a few years back is coming back to Pennsylvania - but it is going to Erie. 

The people of the Pittsburgh Region loved this duck so we thought that may be a good thing to make.

Sometimes people ask us to make a certain animal - that was the case with the Unicorns and the Minecraft Creeper.

Sometimes Donna just makes what she wants to make based on what has sold in the past or if she finds a cute pattern.

You never know what we may have in the future so you definitely want to keep watching.

Swissvale Farmers Market - New Location

At last its spring and the Swissvale Farmers Market begins its third season on Saturday, May 7 at 9a.

The item of the week for the first market is a great Mothers Day Gift.
