I made this shawl / scarf my son's teacher. She received the award of Teacher of the Year! All the kids in the class wanted to get her a gift so we collected money. I purchased the yarn with the money collected and knitted her this shawl. I like this pattern because this shawl can be easily worn as a scarf. I made it out of a cotton blend purple yarn. Mrs. Crosby's favorite color is purple! All the kids were so excited when she opened it at class today. They also gave her a cute flower that was decorated as a bunny. It was very cute.
A big thank you to Mrs. Crosby for being such a wonderful teacher you absolutely deserve Teacher of the Year and we all hope that when you wear your new scarf /shawl you'll always remember how you earned it. Thanks for all that you do.

I also made this knit top / beach cover up for myself. The yarn is a superfine merino. It is made by Knitting Fever it is Indulgence 6 ply distrato. It is a sock yarn, but I thought it worked fine for this lightweight top. I made the pattern up as I knitted it. The only thing tricky about this knit was figuring out how to get the colors to blend and match for the top.
I did a vertical decrease up the sides along the hips.

I also made this newborn hat for Brady's teacher from last year. She just had a baby boy. The yarn is again the Indulgence 6 ply Distrato.
