It's the Yarn

When I went to McCall, Idaho with my in-laws I was so lucky to get to stop in at Keep Me In Stitches and see Lynda! She's a hugely important person in my life because she is the one who taught me how to knit!! She changed my life forever!

While I was exploring her scrumptious shop I discovered a yarn that spoke to me. 

It didn't call out as a specific project. It spoke to me as yarn. It said "I'm beautiful! I feel really good. Your husband wouldn't think it was too weird if you just draped me around your neck, or snuck me into bed." Anyway, I wanted to come up with something that would allow me to see it, and enjoy the feel of it. So I made a basic seed stitch cowl. Its basic and the funniest part is, I have had more compliments and threatens of theft on this set than some of my most intricate projects!

Knit Between

I did a bit of knitting in the time I've been gone. My master teachers mother was under going chemo and radiation. I finished this hat for her over Thanksgiving break.

It's a loose slouchy hat so I used a big bowl to block it.

  I made two more of these HP Cowls. (pattern by me and on ravelry.)

   

And Pygmy Puffs! A made up creature in Harry Potter.

   

First introduced here: 

   

Here is Dani enjoying hers. I told her its soft so she can throw it at students. I don't think she will.  

Here is Karen, a true kindred spirit enjoying her cowl and her Pygmy puff.

And guess what!? She's a Ginny Weasley fan!
