Frosty Sparkle Cowl
by Christi @ xtporter
Size K / 6.5 mm hook and worsted weight yarn
In the sample, I used Red Heart Boutique Midnight in Shadow, 1 skein. You will need another skein if you want to make a longer cowl, as I used the entire skein for this one. :) It's so cute. Enjoy~!

Flying Diamonds Shawl - Free Pattern
Flying Diamonds Shawl
by Christi @ xtporter
Size J / 6.00 mm hook and worsted weight yarn
I used one full skein of Red Heart Super Saver in Buff for the sample pattern, and a small amount of the same in Black for the border (1 skein will suffice) If you use only one color for the entire shawl, you will want to get the equivalent of two skeins of Red Heart Super Saver to have enough yarn.
The pattern is easy to learn and repetitive; you need only recall that there is a regular increase. You'll see it as you work through the pattern. I still wrote out the entire pattern, but you can make it larger or smaller by simply working more or fewer rows. The end result is a lovely swath of diamond shapes.

Crush
My big Crush. It's lasted about six years now. When I met him, he was married. I won't mess with a married guy. I just admired him from a distance. He's so cool. He makes everyone laugh, and nothing ever got to him. If it did, you never knew it. He's always kind and helpful.
I worked with him. Once I had a rough customer with the email and he took over the call for me. When someone has you back like that in the tech support trenches you don't forget.
