The Dishcloth Obsession Continues...

Here's my latest offering. Isn't the bird way too cute!

And don't think I stopped my obsession with illusion knitting. My latest attempt is a tribute to my favorite TV show of all times. Can you guess what it is? Here's a hint...

FINISHED CHARITY SCARF.



I'm so proud of myself tonight. I refused to go to bed until I completed this scarf. I'm proud because it's my first attempt at designing an illusion pattern. I'm proud because even with all the mis-steps I finished it in just a few weeks. And I'm most proud of the fact that this project was designed and knit as a charity project for a very good friend to sell to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness.


Now it's off to bed for me. To dream up my next project.

Goodnight!
