I am working on several versions of a pattern with different yarns that I will release soon and thought you would enjoy seeing one of them -Caron Skinny Cakes available at Michaels.

Both lots made with the same yarn, but the end result is totally different. I may do some pompoms in the same yarn to see how they look alongside the flowers. Caydo pro used to make the icord and 22 Addi for the puffy flowers.

This is one of Ruby’s designs Got to be stretched properly

I just wasn’t thinking, or perhaps I was just feeling a little over confident. Yesterday I attempted to make the fingerless gloves. I printed out the pattern, read it completely. I watched the video and was ready to begin. Did the waste yarn, # rows, and the final rows with more waste yarn. Made 2 of these tubes, now it was time for me to put it all together. I even had nerve to fold it in half and use stitch markers to keep it in place. Shouldn’t I have noticed by now this was definitely the wrong size? Why did it take me this long to recognize I had used the wrong machine. I made it on the Addi 22 instead of the Addi 46. Instructions were very clear, I made the mistake of turning on the TV while working in this project thing “you got this!” Positive outcome - I can continue, at least, practicing the mattress stitch that keeps messing with me!

While showing pictures of projects I have been working on to my grand niece and great grandniece (Le’Onnie) when we got to the iCord bracelet keychain, Le’Onnie quickly asked if we could make one for her. I said, “sure” - what colors would you like? Fortunately the colors Le’Onnie picked I already had the iCord made. A little chunky for her wrist, but she loved it!
