Shandeh's Projects with Cottage Yarn

OK, I'll just have to post every single thing I've ever made with yarn from the shop. (tee-hee!)

Here is the felted Bubble Bag I made with Cascade 220 (the blue section of the purse). I also added some other yarns from my stash to complete this little bag for one of my piano students.


I also made a pretty, lacy purse for another of my piano students, using Berroco Cotton Twist yarn. (Here's the free pattern: http://www.anniesattic.com/stitches/knitting/patterns/pdfs/kn_lacy_summer_purse.pdf)


Here is the Christmas stocking I completed in 2006 for Sara:


This is a 12 inch afghan square I designed, using Plymouth Encore. (Here's the free pattern: http://www.flickr.com/photos/59646927@N00/568077339)


One of my favorite knitting projects is socks. And Cottage Yarn carries one of my favorite sock yarns - Wildfoote Luxury. Yum!!! I made this pair of socks with a free online pattern called "River Rapids Socks" by Sockbug. (Here's the pattern: http://files.blog-city.com/files/aa/3830/b/river_rapids.pdf)


Here are some more socks I made, using Lang Jawoll yarn. That yarn is so cool, because there is a tiny bobbin of reinforcement thread (dyed to match) included inside each skein. Neat!


Right now, I'm working on a pair of dark red ankle socks for my son, using more Lang Jawoll yarn. That yarn is so easy to work with. :D


Next time you go to the shop, be sure to get a closer look at the Christening Gown I made! I'm very proud of that project. I used Berroco Cotton Twist (8 skeins).


And here is another baby dress I made with Berroco Cotton Twist. I just love that yarn! The pattern for this dress was in a book called "Cozy Knits for Cuddly Babies" by Elanor Lynn. So quick and easy!


Another yarn I really love is Malabrigo, and I'm SO glad that Cottage Yarn carries it! Malabrigo feels like butter when you're working with it, and it makes such a beautiful fabric.


Soon, I hope to finish working on a baby sweater I'm making with Universal Yarns Deluxe Chunky 100% Wool yarn. I'm using a free pattern from the Cascade Yarns website, called "Child's Alternative Cable Pullover". Here's the pattern: http://www.cascadeyarns.com/patternsFree/C170_109Childs.pdf
