I'm hooked on ENTOURAGE

I love Adrian Grenier..."sigh".

Cute Stuff

I seriously like this hat...and this man. Gael Garcia Bernal in a Dior Couture knit Mohawk hat.



I went on a Kitty Hat binge and made three. I crocheted the black one so it was much faster to make.

Blue Sky Alpaca Cropped Cardigan (with 2 inches added to the length) in Diakeito Diadomina (my favorite yarn, next to Noro Silk Garden).



Rowan Racerback Vest in Patons Soy Stripes. I like this yarn too.



Rebecca jumper top in Bernat Haven


Cool Extra Long Crocheted Legwarmers


It's not always about me. I make a lot of baby items to donate to the Stitches from the Heart non-profit knitting store in Santa Monica.

More...

Here's another Noro Silk Garden #251 Minisweater. I love this Stephanie Japel pattern. It's knitted from the top down in one piece with no shoulders or side seams. It only takes a few days and this one only took 3 skeins. I like to buy an extra skein in case I need to match the striping.


Here's another Sexy Little Knits project, the flared crochet miniskirt in GGH Sombrero viscose ribbon yarn. I had to resize it to an XS and make it less flared. I've had to adjust every pattern that I've made from that book, but I still love it.

Ashley Paige Halter

I made my version in Silk City Fibers Peluche & Luna. This is the same top that's on the cover of her Sexy Little Knits book. I adjusted the pattern to make it XS and didn't make the contrast cables. I also picked up the stitches off the bottom of the bodice and knit them in stockinette stitch on #15 needles with the Luna. It was pretty easy. I love it.

New Happy Hooker Crocheted Items

Hi, I just got Debbie Stoller's The Happy Hooker book this week and I really like it. I finished these both in a few days. Cold Shoulder Capelet ( Diakeito yarn. I added 2 shell rows to make it longer and made a crochet button closure instead.)


I made this Garden Scarf from leftover worsted weight wool yarn. It's really cute on and the perfect weight for Los Angeles weather. I made it longer too, 17 flowers instead of 14. I'm pretty tall, so it looks better that way.

Ashley Paige Sexy Little Knits Faux Suede Bikini

I love this. I used Berroco Suede yarn. I had to adjust the bottom to make it fit correctly... like most of the Ashley Paige patterns I've made. Humph!
