Aliza's Lundie

Brenda's gorgeous grandkids, Chris and Aliza. Aliza is modeling her grandma-knit Lundie but she needs to grow into this one.  Great colours on her, and congrats,  Brenda, on the knitting and the grandkids!

Brenda's Wild Shawl

Brenda's wild side is showing in this creation.  She used Roisin's Chantal Shawl Pattern and bits and pieces of Noro and similar yarn.  Roisin thinks it looks more like a Kaffe Fassett design, especially on the back.   Way to go, Brenda!  Looking forward to more wildness!  

It's Here - Texada Time Wrap

Alrighty....here's the details of the Texada Time Wrap (bit of a cheeky name, eh?).
Original design and pattern by Great Balls of Wool
And a special offer until June 30th:
The pattern is free with purchase of yarn for Texada Time Wrap.
And there are loads of yarns (many greens) you can pick from. Come and try one of the test wraps on!

Suits everyone, not hard to knit, and looks GREAT! 
Awesome photos by Phil (aka Mr Roisin) and awesome modelling by Shannon & Christine.

Not Blue Brenda

Brenda is knitting with (what???) Malabrigo Rios, and it's not BLUE!  This proves knitters are totally versatile--really!

Brenda Blue

Our Brenda's blue creations, a vest and shawl in Malabrigo.  Knit in her 'stitch perfect' perfection.  Very very nice.

Brenda's Thrumbed Mitts

Our Brenda's Thrumbed Mittens.  Curious?  We were too, and that's why Brenda knit up a cozy pair.  She is ready to teach a class whenever you are, just let us know.

These were knit with Galway worsted and thrumbed with roving.  The roving is on the inside and eventually felts from hand moisture.  Very warm for those doggie walks or family living in colder climes.

Brenda's Cowl On Judy

Judy modeling the gorgeous Malabrigo Rios cowl knit by Brenda.  The colours really suit Judy, and it will feel wonderful, as all Malabrigo yarns do (both to knit and wear).

Brenda's Sock

Brenda's toes peeping out of her sock knit with Lana Grossa Cotton Stretch.  A very pretty summer sock...she might wear them in the winter.

Brenda's Blues

Brenda does love blue and especially Malabrigo Bobby Blue.  She'll be sporting her latest shawlette when the weather co-operates. Not that we are in a hurry for that, are we?

Brenda's Poncho

Noro Iro was used to make this Poncho with buttons, designed and knit by GBOW staffer Brenda.  Another absolutely gorgeous use of this yarn.  And a perfect choice of colours for Brenda too.

If you really really like this yarn, TOO BAD, Brenda got it ALL! Never, ever procrastinate buying the yarn you covet, that's what we say.

A Well Dressed Teddy

Happy first day of  Spring! 

What baby (or teddy) wouldn't look like a fashion plate in this?  Knit by Brenda in Malabrigo Rios (superwash). The pattern "Felipe" is on Ravelry. Hard to beat this for cute!
