Baby sweaters are really popular right now. If you are interested in making a sweater, but leery of making something big this is the way to start. We are knitting Holly's Jacket from The Complete Fabrication blog. Thank you to Jacki Kelly for permission to use her pattern. This can easily be changed to a boy sweater just by using a ribbed edge instead of the ruffle.

Moebius scarves are really fun to wear. You get that great hand knit scarf look without loosing the scarf from around your neck. Knitting an infinity loop is an amazingly easy yet astounding process. We will use "A Treasury of Magical Knitting" and learn a new cast on technique. The basic scarf uses about 200 yards of yarn and we can customize the pattern to match any needle size and yarn.

From A Treasury of Magical Knitting, "This richly textured hat seems almost sculpted, although it truly is not difficult to make. It is completely reversible, with the design different on each side."
