Kelly has created a masterpiece. Using two skeins of Fleece Artist BFL 2/8, she has knit this gorgeous dragon shawl for her son for Christmas. 
This piece took her almost two months exactly. Many, many stitches have gone into this piece and we know that it will be treasured forever. Absolutely stunning Kelly!

Dagmar had created many amazing, interesting things, but I don't think anyone was quite expecting this when she said she was knitting a hat for her husband! Dagmar did not use a pattern for this, rather follow her own viking instincts and produced this very fun hat. Great job Dagmar!
