On this pattern I offer up my special beaded picot bindoff that I made up for my Tofutsie Tee. The self same of the KAL I hostessed for SWTC in Summer 08. I teach the crocheted provisional cast on, beginning lace, placement method of beading, beaded picot bindoff and how to make socks from the center,,, what fun! </B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="12f3bd4e0.jpg" border=0 width="445" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> This pattern won the SWTC Tofutsies sock design challenge in the embellished catagory.  I have the pattern available.</div> <bR> <div> What follows are items which I have knit in this past year for hire.  Meaning, I was compensated for knitting them, either in funds or equipment - my sign says, will work for yarn.  This is not everything that I have knit as I have knit many items for our family and friends as well.   This is to give you an example of my work, it's all top quality as well as FAST.  I'm fast and accurate and so can crank out whatever you are needing.  I'm very versatile and have learned a lot.  Major yarn companies are represented here but that doesn't mean that I will not work for a consumer directly.  Please write me for a quote<B><U> </U></B><A HREF="mailto:wmdress@sbcglobal.net" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:wmdress@sbcglobal.net"><U><B><U>mailto:wmdress@sbcglobal.net</U></B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="148c51fd0.jpg" border=0 width="337" height="253" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="148b53fe0.jpg" border=0 width="339" height="254" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> These appear in Knit Picks catalog, Holiday 08</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="14924dfa0.jpg" border=0 width="333" height="250" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> This shawl is huge!
