Perfect Pony

A few weeks ago my daughter spotted a Woody doll at a garage sale and had to have him. Of course she then requested Mommy make a horse for Woody. I accepted the challenge. I found this pattern online and set to work. My plan was to make the saddle and bridle and add facial features but she was quite impatient. She loves her new horse. :)

American Beauty Shawl

This shawl was part of a knit-a-long with BadCatDesigns. I used a little more than 2 skeins of Knit Picks Shadow laceweight yarn in Hot Rod on size 4 needles. Those are beads in there, 875 of them - clear, silved lined, size 8 glass. Lots of work getting those knit into the shawl. The blocked shawl is 70" across the top and 34" down the spine. Love the end result!

Toe Up Socks

Another pair of crocheted socks. Actually two pairs. I bought one skein of Tofutsies yarn and as I was crocheting my socks, I saw the interest in my little ones eyes and thought it would be cute to make a matching pair for her. She wants more!

The pattern is Toes Up Socks by Mary Rhodes. I found it easy to work and you can't beat trying them on as you go. Definitely more in the future.
