I wanted to try a shawl in the Eros ribbon yarn, so I made this for a friend at work. It was surprisingly quick to do.

Peg’s Noro Sweater
This is the lovely sweater and scarf my friend, Peg, just finished.
here’s her comments:
“In November, 2002, I visited a yarn shop in Camden, ME because I’d been thinking about taking up knitting. I walked out with 20 skiens of this Noro yarn and a pair of size 10 bamboo needles. The yarn was in a discontinued color and at half price ($5 a skien!) I first made the scarf on straight needles as a sort of learning-to-stitch sampler and then ripped it to make this 7ft. long scarf. I used #7 circular needles and 4 skiens of yarn. It took me over a year to finish the sweater. The pattern is a simple top-down, knitting in the round on size 6 and size 8 needles.. the yarn is a very forgiving one and a lot of fun to work. I gave away two skiens and still have three left.”
Baby Hat and Mittens
I made these for Trinii w/ Crayon’s Lite cotton yarn before she was born.
Quick Scarf
Here’s a blue scarf
made with the same Thick and Quick (Lion Brand) yarn that I made my first hat with.
I did a rib stitch, and it came out smaller than I expected. Not bad for a first project… I saw a how to knit article in Real Simple magazine and figured I’d give it a go.
Justin’s Scarf
Here’s a scarf I made for my nephew with Lion Brand thick and quick. I alternated garter stitch and rib stitch.
my first project, the Italy scarf
I went on a group ski trip to Italy and got sucked into knitting when I saw all the beautiful yarn they had there. I bought a few skeins, then spent 45 minutes in my hotel room trying to remember how to cast on. I had tried to learn how to knit the year before, but what I came up with I don’t consider a project… so this is my first.
This yarn is so soft. I had enough left to have a go at the hat. I didn’t know at the time that stockinette stitch would curl, so I ended up with a roll up hat, which I’m still not happy with. I bought some white Lamb’s Pride bulky yarn locally to go with the Italian yarn.
