Prairie Kimono from Knitscene Fall 2007, design by Edna Hart
Sierra worked this vest in Black Forest Naturwolle and GGH Soft Kid (main color is Naturwolle #58 Ziegel, contrast is Soft Kid #78 teal blue).
Sierra’s comments: I modified the pattern slightly making it tunic length. The top is fitted under the bust with an A-line bottom which makes is a very flattering cut. I look forward to wearing it a lot next winter. The yarn is beautiful and easy to work with.

Nomad Hat & Scarf from Interweave Knits Fall 2007
Marceline worked up this functional accessory in Valley Yarns Northampton.
Her comments: Kat Coyle’s Patterns are brilliantly simple, with elegant results. This top-down style is very easy to customize (I enlarged the hat circurmference by 16 stitches and lengthened it 2½"). The yarn is soft but knits up to a very sturdy fabric. Since I gifted this to one of my dearest friends, I will be working on another one for myself soon.

Strawberry Clutch from Knitscene Spring 2007, design by Kate Gilbert
Charmaine used three colors of Cascade 220 for these bags.
Her comments: I’m an Aussie living and knitting in the UAE. I made two Strawberry Clutches as Christmas presents for my two best friends. These were my first felting projects and doing it in a front loader was a bit of a challenge. I ended up with water all over the kitchen floor but I’m happy with the result! It was worth the effort. I lined the bags with pink polka-dot material that my husband helped me choose from a very small selection in a local craft shop. My girlfriends love their little purses and say that they get lots of compliments!

Venus Pullover from Knitscene Spring 2007, design by Kate Jackson
Amy used Rowan Holiday, in color #34 shale, in this top.
Her comments: I seamed the neck opening a couple of inches after I knit the pattern to keep the sweater on my shoulders better.
