Two finishes



First of all, I finished the final doll in the series and now think I have doll-making out of my system, at least for awhile!

And, as many of you know, I spend most of my evenings with either knitting needles or crochet hooks in hand.  This is the latest thing to add to my stash of things earmarked for Christmas gifts...


The pattern is the 'Coffee Bean Cowl' .  It's a fun pattern to knit and I used one skein of Red Heart Boutique 'Unforgettable'.  The only modification I did was to increase the length from 19" to 22" - mainly because I wanted to use up the entire ball of yarn.

Today your quote is from another anonymous source..."Stop hating yourself for everything you aren't.  Start loving yourself for everything that you are"

  1. Sweet little dolly to finish your gifties. Lovely knit cowl you have created. This quote fits perfectly with my Weight Watcher meeting this morning. Another week has passed all too quickly...<3

  3. I love cowls. Always feel my neck is drafty. Might even make one for bed!
