Last year, I completed two sweaters based on Colleen Davis’ Triangle Mambo sweater pattern. I worked on the first sweater while Iris was undergoing a tonsillectomy. In the confusion when she came out of the anesthesia and cried for mommy, I lost the pattern. So the sweater is loosely based on Colleen’s pattern. Fortunately, I read the pattern all the way through before commencing like a good girl.
I am wearing the jewel-toned version made from 5 balls of Kureyon and assorted solids and heathers. My SIL, Debbie, is wearing the one made from 9 balls of Kureyon (with only 2 m of yarn to spare!).
Here is the back.

Ann’s limk to the fiber arts bloggers web ring brought me to Fuzzy Galore’s blog. Oh, gotta have that spiral scarf! I started 2 nights ago and finished it last night. I used some leftover blue Homespun and the largest hook that I had, a size J. The spirals sure look nifty. But, if I hadn’t been in such a fever to start right away, I should have gone out and bought a bigger hook. It really is a bit too heavy and firm.

Next up, the scarf made of air and a few bits of ribbon, yarn, fabric and thread. [With a little help from Sulky Solvy.] See Sew New’s free sewing projects link on their website for the instructions.
