I Had a Ball

--and I made this necklace at Stitches. They are wooden beads wrapped in knitted covers. Four had glass beads added. They were then threaded on the same yarn. Very easy to do, only 5 or 6 stitches and about 15 rows over this size wooden bead. Sew together over the bead, using either a running stitch or kitchener stitch. Secure the ends and you are completed.

I saw many vests on the market floor, so I decided to make my own. I found this cotton yarn in my stash. Actually, it was for a sweater for Kaia, but she grew out of it before I got it done. The pattern is based on the Sock yarn Blankie. I am working on 21 stitches, using #5 needles. No real pattern for the vest itself, but it will be pretty easy to shape.
