Janis recently completed a Hat/Scarf made using various leftovers from her previous projects. She did an excellent job of knitting, and being able to put those leftovers to good use was a very smart thing to do.When she was in the store, this combination got a lot of attention from other customers. The challenge was being able to blend multiple yarns, and different colors of yarns together so that the hat and scarf had the appearance of being part of a matching emsemble. Janis did an excellent job, and the finished pieces are testament to the power of creative thinking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Janis really does love knitting Moebius. The photo (left) is of her latest creations, which was just compeleted on 9/16. Janis has really had fun knitting, and has perfect the art of making incredible Moebius, and many other things.

 

Janis loves Moebius, and recently completed a beautiful white one, which she is modelling in the photo (right). Her interpretation of this classic design is absolutely stunning, and the colors she chose are ideal for the Florida climate. With fall just around the corner when we will be experiencing cooler nights, what better accessory to dress up your attire, and keep you from getting chilled than a Moebuis. Congratulations to Janis, for another knitting project which turned out perfect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sarah started knitting in January, 2010 when she participated in The Knitting Patch's children's knitting classes. Her first knitting project was a scarf, which is shown in the adjacent photos. Sarah finished this scarf the day before she submitted it into competition at the Central Florida Fair in 2010. Sarah won third place in her category for this scarf! That scarf was incredible, and her winning in a competition was quite inspiring. Sarah has continued knitting and has produced some extremely fine garments, which are shown below. These two photos tell the story of how Sarah began knitting.

As you can see by Emma's expression, she was quite proud of her accomplishment.

She learned so much from tackling this project, and she said that the best thing for her was gaining the confidence in herself that she can take on advanced projects.

Linda, back from her cruise, looking incredible, just made the necklace she is modelling in the photo (left). The cruise was an incredible time for her, and the skirt she knitted just in time was a hit with all of her friends, and many others aboard the ship. Linda shared her photos and experiences with us, and it was a vacation of a lifetime. Unfortunately Linda is about to move away from Florida, and as such, we will be bidding her a fond adieu next week. She has excellent knitting skills that will serve her well in her new home of Tennessee. From all of your extended family at The Knitting Patch, you will be missed.
