Heritage Yarns Sale Bin 

Here's a shell that you can wear alone with shorts on hot summer days or under a suit or casual jacket.  This hand knit piece makes a stylish  alternative to a blouse.  The pattern is written for 2 gauges, 5 stitches/inch or 6 stitches/inch. 

This poncho has points and an opening at the neck.  The size you want is determined by how long you work the shoulders, so this pattern can be for a child to a large adult.  Of course, yardage adjustments will have to be made for the various sizes.  

If you want a turtle neck, work in the round from the beginning, rib for 6-8" and keep in the round for the rest of the pattern.

Use up scraps, add color, texture and fringe.  Work one poncho for warmth and others for fashion and fun.  Use whatever chunky yarn you like.  The yarn label will tell you the appropriate needle size.  The chart shows how much yarn is needed for each gauge.  Gauges:  2, 2.4, 3, 3.5 and 4 sts = 1".

Here is a must for your wardrobe of accent pieces.  This seed stitch scarf uses 6 (2) colors holding 2 strands in 32 (52) row sections.  In between each solid section, you will knit 2 colors held together.  When you wear this scarf you can have the darker or the lighter section in front, or you can just throw one end over your shoulder.  The small tassels make a great accent.  The pattern calls for fingering weight yarn, 7 sts = 1", yarn held double and options for a 6 color version, 2 color version or 1 color.  17 sts. x 32 rows = 4" x 4".

This is one of the fun new patterns from Ann Norling and a wonderful way to use eyelash yarn.  This is a quick, fun knitting project.

This is a new pattern from Ann Norling with lots of options for great little purses for every occasion and a good way to use up leftover yarn.  They take small amounts of yarn and fit in with today's fashion. 

This pattern includes directions for all seven purses in different gauges, lining instructions and ideas for finishing.  Your choice of yarn will make your purse work for everyday or out for the evening.  Use your left over yarn to make a purse to match a sweater you have knitted or choose a yarn that will complement your outfit. 

Since you are going to make an accessory rather than a garment, you want the knitted fabric more firm than a knitted garment.  Recommendations are to use a needle smaller than what the yarn recommends.  For beginners, she recommends #1 Little Purse.  It is the smallest purse shown on the right.
