Summer heat is behind us...bring on the yarn...

Thanks to the folks at Grafton Fibers for
this wonderful free sock pattern....
Easy to make and comfy to wear!!!!
This is called
*Rest, In Pieces*
and it was prompted from a challenge in the
FF Challenge group to make a granny square
poncho..I had several skiens of this fancy fur
yarn and figured it was a great project for it...
18 skiens later......here is the poncho..
modeled by my daughter Dolly..
It reminds me of the rag crochet rugs ladies used to make...




The Princess has her *wings*

...and here she is........



Gypsy Wings...

I went a little crazy with buying grey/black/ white
yarns on my visit to Alabama and this is what has
evolved. I named it *gypsy wings* and it is with out
a doubt the softest piece I have ever made. It is living
in a basket--because our kitty, Missy, adopted it..
