Araucania Nature Wool Chunky in Denim. I love this sweater! The zippers were a pain in the ass to install, but otherwise it is gorgeous! Thanks to all who voted on zipper color. The yarn is so beautiful and I plan to use other colors in other sweaters.

Pattern Source: From Hollywood Knits Style.

This cardi is so easy with very little finishing. It is warm, but not too warm. It can be dressed up or down.

Knitted for the Kate-along with TLC Cotton Plus in Light Blue.

Pattern Source: Again, I designed it myself. Just a simple stockinette stitch. I knit the body in one long piece so that I only had to seam one side.

I knit this with Plymouth Encore DK in gray and blue. It was very frustrating to finish, but I managed (somehow!).
