Some of you may already have snow on the ground, while others will never see snow for the holidays.
Worsted Merino Supwash and Boucle Merino Superwash Pillow by Renee Lorion
Either way, I hope this cute little snowman pillow from Karen will bring you some holiday cheer.
The pattern is from Knit Simple Magazine, Holiday 2010.
Happy Holidays!

Does anyone watch the series Bones? Our next featured project was actually inspired by Dr. Camille Saroyan of the hit show.
Jenna's Leaf Wrap in Royal Llama Silk color 1829
The leaf wrap pattern (download for free) is by Liz Abinante and can be made out of a variety of weights of yarn, depending upon how lightweight you want the wrap to be. Jenna’s scarf used 6 increase repeats, 14 straight repeats, and 6 decrease repeats of the pattern. The scarf used 5 skeins of our lovely Royal Llama Silk, a llama & silk blend.

Selina’s coat inspired me to write a blog entry about it.
Pea Coat in Worsted Merino Superwash, color 8
The pattern is from Shirley Paden’s book Knitwear Design Workshop.
Selina used a lighter weight yarn than what the pattern originally called for to make a smaller size. I love how the buttons work into the cable patterns, making a sleek,chic finish.
She even added pockets to her design-

I am sure you are all familiar with Rebecca Danger’s exotic cutesy creatures–
and Bernard Bear is no exception
Encore Mega, 1 ball color 678
Lisamarykay1′s Bernard Bear used all of one ball of our Encore Mega. (Thank you Lisa for sharing!)
I think he looks equally cute without arms if you happen to run out of yarn
and see all of Bernard’s motley friends–
