Show and Tell Friday

I couldn't wait to show you Mary Beth's creations this week. First of all, she made this darling scarecrow. Using his tail, he even stands up. Instead of the corn field, he's guarding the Yarn Bells. Very cute and just in time for Thanksgiving. And then she made this little gnome. He is just as cute. Both patterns are from Alan Dart of the UK. There are several sizes of the gnomes. Mary Beth made the small one so she could use him as an ornament on their tree. Both the scarecrow and the gnome are darling. Great job, Mary Beth!

I also have Betsy's diagonal sweater to show you. She used a Mother of Purl pattern (which we have in the shop) and Ella Rae Palermo yarn (which we also have in the shop). This self-striping yarn is a great choice for this pattern. This is the pattern that used in making my sweater this summer for The Yarn Haven Olympics. It's an interesting design. I think several other people are also in the process of making it, so I hope to show you this design in other colors in the near future.

Have a great weekend...and stay warm!!
