I'm always trying to find ways to count stitches. These beaded counters allow the beads to slide when you move them, but don't slip unless you want them to. I made them onto the same size jump rings I use for stitch markers.

I watched a youtube video for making a beaded golf counter. It was super easy and fun. For golf, it seems the big beads are best, but for knitting, I like the smaller ones.

Last year I made the super fun Bounce baby blanket. This is the smaller modified version I made with the scraps.

The Spiral Cowl. I LOVED working with this Malabrigo worsted yarn.

A dear friend held a sewing group where everyone attended and made a Christmas table runner. I LOVE how this turned out! It also made a great gift for my little sister who just bought her first house! I'm so happy for her.

This pattern is called "Black Death", but I've done it here in yellow. The yarn I used this time is much thinner than last time so the shawl took on a different shape, but I still love it!

I'm really enjoying variations of rainbow projects lately. This shawl was made with 2 balls of yarn. One was grey and the other one was full of those lovely colors.

A lonely, somewhat ugly ball of sock yarn is now a hat.
