Fresh Off the Needles & Hooks!
Tracy recently finished this super cool dragon. (Actually, she finished two of them, but we got to just see one in person. They're huge!) Such a cool project. The pattern, Guardian the Dragon, is available on Ravelry, but Tracy warns you, it's definitely for advanced crocheters only; there were some tricky parts she had to figure out. But it's so cool! -------------------- Speaking of crochet, here's a scarf I recently made. The pattern is called Crochet a la Brioche, and also is available on Ravelry. This one is fairly simple and straightforward - a fun project all around. I used the lovely Arequipa worsted, a blend of merino wool and silk. I used literally every single inch of two skeins - I had just enough to squeak out the tassels. -------------------- And this is the Double Up Moebius that Diane knitted up for us. It uses just 100 grams of a worsted weight yarn and 2 skeins of Caribou - a super soft, furry yarn. The yarns are held double and it's worked on a larger needle, so it goes quickly. For our sample she used Encore Dynamo, but really any worsted weight yarn works well. The pattern's available on Ravelry, and it's a freebie! Thanks, Diane!

Who's Who at Double Ewe: Gaby
Favorite craft?
Knitting is my favorite craft. I used to crochet a long time ago, but not sure I can remember how anymore.
How long have you been knitting or crocheting?
I learned to knit in 1980, but have been seriously knitting for the last 20 years.
Favorite items to knit?
I like knitting anything, as long as it doesn't require seaming. I also like to do test knits because it gives me an opportunity to try something new and it's great for the analytical part of me.
Tell us about your family - spouse, kids, grandkids, pets?
I have a great husband, son and soon to be daughter.
What about past jobs? I used to punch holes out of Cheerios. Ask me about it if you want to know more. :)
Favorite other non-fiber activities?
I like to read, travel and open-wheel racing.
Ravelry? My Ravelry id is Sondomn. I try to keep it fairly updated. Take a peek!
