Poor Boys

Back in 1969 (when I was almost 4 years old and not yet a fan of rock & roll) Credence Clearwater Revival released an album called Willy and the Poor Boys.  Fast forward to 2009 when I am a huge fan of rock and also a participant in Secret Pal 14.  Look at what I received from my secret pal.  It's two skeins of laceweight soysilk yarn by Conjoined Creations in the colorway Willy and the Poor Boys.  (And a journal, maybe to record my own rock lyrics.)  What shall I make with it?  I've got 1100 yards for a really nice lace project!  I certainly don't feel like a poor boy (or girl) after receiving this!
Oh, I got a new camera so hopefully my photos will improve and do justice to such beautiful yarn!

Crofter's Cowl

I made this pretty little cowl for a swap.  It's called Crofter's Cowl and the pattern can be found on the sidebar of this blog.  I used red Malabrigo, the colorway Vermillion.  It truly is red and these pictures aren't correct.  This was quick and easy and I think it'll be a good gift.
