Wool Peddler's Shawl




Completed my Wood Peddler's Shawl today. This is a pattern from the Book - " Folk Shawls" by Cheryl Oberle. I used some yarn from my stash, and it took 421 yards. There are lots of nice shawls in this book and I plan to try a few more of them.

Mock Cable Wristers



These Wristers are knit using DGB Confetti 100 yarn in Colour #14.01. The Stitch Pattern is called Mock Cable, and it works really well for these and for socks. It is stretchy for comfort, and hugs the hand. These took 354 yards of yarn using 2.25 dpns, and are a Ladies size Medium.
