Love to Sew shows a poncho knitted from Vanna White's line of acrylic yarn.

The poncho was my first attempt and I'm thrilled at the results. It's made from Vanna White's line of acrylic yarn, Vanna's Choice by Lion Brand. I used a pattern by Sarah Lucas and Allison Isaacs. This poncho is for my Aunt Suzanne, a wonderful lady who someone somehow stayed sane in a house with 5 children and 2 - 3 dogs at all times. 

 

Winter hat with ear flaps knitted from 100 % wool.

The green/brown ear flap hat is adult sized and knitted from 100% wool. It was my very first hat and always keeps me warm. 

 

A scarf knitted by doing a simple alternating stripe.

The scarf was knitted by doing a simple alternating stripe also done in cashmerino. It's long and thin, meant to be wrapped around the neck more than once. The colors were inspired by my brother, Johnny, my partner in crime and best friend. 

 

A striped ear flap hand knitted hat for a little girl in pink and white.

The striped ear flap hat was knitted for a 4 year old girl who loves pink. This was also knitted in the same cashmerino blend, a favorite yarn of mine. The ear flaps and the chin tie ensure it stays put on a very, very active little girl. 

 

Knitted hats for baby boy twins.

Knitted stripe hats for baby twin boys.

These are a pair of two baby's hats that were knitted with love, which are intended for twin boys on the way. The yarn is a cashmerino blend, which is great for small children because it's both soft and easy to clean. 

 

A hand knitted grey ribbed hat is a great beginners project.

The hand knitted grey ribbed hat is adult sized, and made in a wool/acrylic blend. It's loose and baggy, meant to be worn pushed back, with extra room to tuck hair into on a bad hair day, or with your hair peeking out framing your face. I love it because it's great for a boho look on a cold day. It's also a great beginner project. 

 

Hand knitted pot holders make a great first project.

The pot holders/trivets are simple squares in a seed stitch. The yarn is an acrylic blend from a small shop in London and was purchased on a trip with her dear, dear friend Jessica Harris. Somehow, they work best when protecting hands from the teapot bought on the same trip!
