I made Debbie's Leisure Arts purse kit to use as my drag-to-and-from-work-on-the-train knitting bag. I used all but a 3" x 3" inch square of the lining material in the kit to make pockets inside, 3 on one side, 4 on the other, (two are crochet hook / pen sized). I'm on my 5th sweater as works in progress in this bag. Love the softness!

My name is Celeste. I am 82 years old and live in Brooklyn, New York. I made this cardigan sweater for my seven-year old grandniece, Brooke. It is knitted in parts: the ribbing first, then the stockinette stitch, the ski people on the sides, then the arms, and so on. I do not have a pattern as everything about knitting a sweater was taught to me at an early age. We did not need patterns back then - we learned by seeing older women knit and they taught me.

Knitted by: Celeste Padula (to contact Celeste, please write Rose Davis at  simplehomemakerrose@yahoo.com )

Pattern: My own creation.

Yarn: 3 skeins acrylic yarn

Needles: U. S. #3 and #8

I have been practicing my knitting here in the sandbox of southern Iraq, probably the only person here who sends a footlocker full of yarn from one assignment to another. It's the perfect portable craft. This is a picture of Chloe Grace, my only granddaughter and the first sweater I made after a plethora of scarves. It was great fun to play with.

Knitted by: Judy Porter [ judi.porter@kbr.com ]

Pattern: Debby Ware kit, "The Gumdrop Sweater and Hat"

I knit this project from your website. Your books inspired me to learn how and I just want you to know I created both items in the pictures. The first of your books, This Matter of Marriage, was given to me by my husband’s grandmother as a hint when we were only dating. Well, as you can see, my matter of marriage is so-far-so-good!

Pattern: Baby Blocks, from the novel The Shop On Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber (also available in Knit Along With Debbie Macomber, The Shop on Blossom Street and on the website).
