| Rineke Brouwer The yarn for this hat has the same colours as a painting of a shark I have on the wall at my home - it just misses the colour of blood in that picture. Hence the name: Shark before attack. The chilly appearance of the yarn seems to disappear when something is made of it that is supposed to keep you warm: a winter hat. |

| Jenny Turco/Bee’s Knees Knitting Float Scarf – hand crocheted scarf by Jenny using handspun Pluckyfluff yarn. Yarn was spun with natural and dyed mohair and bits of sparkle handspun over a black core thread dotted with little white “snowball” puffs. Glass beads have been crocheted into the ends of the scarf. Pattern for the scarf will be featured in Pluckyfluff’s book that is set to come out early in 2008. |

| Julie/Flawful Fibers & Yarns "Sassy Backpack Style Purse" (approx. 12" at widest point x 13.5" tall) I handknit these with 3 skeins (Gypsyish, Ursa, & Melodious - worsted & worsted/bulky as shown with lots of fun textures and gorgeous colors) and a mini green/white skein, all spun by Abby at FeralFeminine, The straps are reinforced (knitted in) with a leather cord, adjustable by metal findings. There's a snap button enclosure, and velvety lining sewed in with a pocket, and a drawstring under the flap. I used the basic pattern of the Clarks & Coats Bearclaw Throw (using the wrong side as the right side) for the front and back of the bag, widening the outer edges a bit, and improvised everything else in order to create the bag. |

| HollyEqq Rocknnn Angelina Hat A friend of mine stopped by one Saturday and I had just settled down to spin a yarn. So I gave her a box of fluff and locks and told her to choose what I was going to spin next. The yarn is the result of that pleasurable visit. Fast forward six months and I finally get around to knitting the yarn for her into something special - a hat to keep her warm during the bitter cold winter months in Florida! It is super soft and cozy warm, yet suits her crazy personality. The yarn was created from Merino wool, BFL locks, targhee locks, and lots and lots of Angelina. |
