Life of the Lintee Bean

I’ve been having a lot of fun lately, finding patterns and yarns that just begged to be paired together.  This circle vest begged to be made in a fun self-striping yarn.

"Coming Full Circle Vest" by Lily Chin, using Moda Dea "Sassy Stripes" yarn in "Swish"

I thought this vest was really fun – rather “retro”, and so I chose a rather retro color

Crochet Loop-Cable Vest by Kristin Omdahl, using Hobby Lobby "I love this cotton" in antique gold

I wanted to make this coat for ages, and would have liked to use a multi-colored yarn… but didn’t have just the right yarn. I realized I had this cream textured yarn which is fun – No sheep were harmed in the making of this sweater

"Shannon" by Doris Chan, using corespun poly wrap yarn and Caron Simply Soft in bone

A quick little “tawashi” (dishcloth)

"Scrubbie Dot" by Doni Speigle, in Pisgah red cotton

As usual, I have my failures… like this beaded scarf – which started unraveling, then when I tried to rip back to the missed stitch, the thread broke.

"Suspended in Space Stole" by Lily Chin, in cardinal rayon thread with 11/0 beads

My other attempt at a beaded scarf went much better. I love how this turned out.

"Beaded Cobweb Lace Scarf" by Joan Barnett, in cotton/viscose blend with assorted 3 mm acrylic beads

Another pair that begged to be together… this jacket is supposed to be made with five different colors of yarn, but, being lazy, I used another self-striping yarn – and love the results.

"Asymmetrical jacket" by Doris Chan, in Reynolds Santana yarn

As always, more in the works!
