Westport Yarns

Joan fell in love with the cute tye dyed baby onesie/yarn kits we have in the shop.  The kits come with patterns for smaller items like hats, mittens, and socks.  She cleverly bought 2 kits, with onesies in different sizes, so she would have 2 skeins of yarn to work with.

She’s knitting Chloe Cardigan.  The yarn is slightly thinner than the pattern calls for ~ she’s winging it.  She bought these cute leggings to complete the ensemble.

Gina is knocking off these crocheted chain necklaces.  The pattern is free when you purchase a skein of novelty yarn.  One skein yields quite a few necklaces.  She’s played around with differen ways of fastening off. The one on the left is Schulana Macaibo yarn and the one on the right and below is Dazzle.

She is also working on this great African flower motif for a bag.  We may have to do a class in the shop with this motif.  It’s really great looking.

Since the hook Gina is working with is so small, she discovered a trick to making a handle grip so her hand doesn’t cramp from holding a narrow hook.  First she wraps the hook with non-stick gauze and then she slides 2 pencil grips over the gauze.  Ingenious!
