beaded bikini




Got your attention??? I knit the beaded handbags using 1.25 mm needles!!! The tips are very sharp- beware!! I get bored easily so I created the tops. The red bikini (top image) is mohair. The two bottom tops are cotton (and crocheted....) The beads feel great against skin. Now I just need to knit some shoes to match...

Irish knits

I knit a sweater in the early 90s. Styles change so I tore it apart (gasp!) and redid it. It's the one on the far left. There's enough yarn leftover to make a child's sweater!

pink hooded cardigan


I took a break from knitting and crocheting. Yup, I crochet too. But I was recently inspired by Zoe Mellor's book. And voila, a pink hooded cardigan for my niece was created. (The nephews didn't want it.) In the past, I've designed my own creations and patterns but this one was too cute to pass up.
