Fuzzy Pearls CowlIntroducing Fuzzy Pearls, a new and fun yarn from Pagewood Farms. Indulge yourself in this amazing fur ball yarn. Of course the fur balls aren’t real fur- but they sure do look like it. The yarn is a bulky weight wool and the attached fur balls are acrylic. This little cowl is my gift to you when you purchase the one skein of yarn that it takes to make this really easy 2 hour project. It comes is several colors and is sure to add some joy to your winter wardrobe. Once you try this cowl on you won’t be able to resist!

This is the year of the Christmas stocking. I have been busy knitting up special orders using both new patterns and old. What treasures these stockings become. They are the epitome of Christmas tradition. Many people have brought in their treasured stocking from when they were young, and have asked me to duplicate it wither for a new baby or a new in-law. Take a good look at your stocking this year. It might be time to launder it in a gentle hand washing or it might need a few little repairs to keep it going for many more years in front of the fireplace. If you have a stocking that was hand knit by a relative, you truly have an heirloom. here are some of the stockings that I made this year.
