It is a bit soon to start planning the winter wardrobe, but I saw this chart and could not help the possibilities that came to mind. I am thinking a double knitted scarf and simple earflap hat, possible mittens too if I can perfect my thumb decreases.

Sister Apron
My sister and I both have the terrible habit of wiping our hands on our pants whilst doing our daily kitchen duties. I have decided to remedy this problem with a simple (but sexy) pin up girl apron. After looking at pictures and patterns online, I whipped this little baby up by sketching the outline on some leftover newsprint, and then embellishing. Behold, the sister apron. Hope you like it, Red.

Step Ribbed Stole
It has taken 4 years of unorganized knitting abundance to finally get me to clean up my act. I now only have a remaining 7 wip's (works in progress), and the Step Ribbed Stole from The Knitters Book of Yarn being the top most of my list. The pattern called for the use of merino fine wool, but I chose to use Lavish 100% Alpaca because I wanted a little more drape to the finished product. Give or take a few more weeks, and Grandma will be toasty on those chilly spring evenings.
