Starting to look like a sweater
Don’t you think? Once I finish the ribbing at the bottom, I’ll just need to add the sleeves and the ruffle, and lastly the closure. The closure is supposed to be crocheted ties, but I am thinking a shawl pin might be a fun option.
As luck would have it, I am currently holed up in a hotel outside of Atlantic City with a pile of clay, a box of tools, and three days to play. (It’s the annual Clayathon weekend, you know.) These are the prototypes I whipped up today. They’re a little rough around the edges, since I forgot to bring my sanding supplies, but you get the idea. I’m likely to make more tomorrow. They’re kind of fun! What do you guys think?
Ok, I’m off. It’s after midnight, and I’m getting sleeeepy. Happy Weekend!

I love them both. Just the right extra touch.
Those are great, what do you use for the stick part? Smiles, Sue C
Half of a metal knitting needle – the really thin ones can be cut with a wire cutter.
Beautiful sweater!

Yes! Just made a few more, too. Once I photograph them for the shop and figure out pricing, they’ll be good to go.
Really great looking shawl pins. Could be hair pins as well. I like the pin idea more than the ties. Love the yarn color. Enjoy your Clayathon!
They are both gorgeous and I too hope you might offer some of those pins in your shop!

That’s the plan. Stay tuned for more details, once I figure them out
Saw this pattern on Ravelry, noticed that it might be another nice one to feature your shawl pins…

(I’m not a knitter, so it’s not for me to make, but maybe somebody out there will like to know about it.)

Oh that’s interesting! I like garments that can be worn multiple ways (not that I actually own any, but I like the idea…) I’ll have to bookmark that one, if it’s not too tricky to make.
