Knitting from Dreams "I dream; therefore shall I knit!"

	Chest measurement:  36" Autumn Dance   Fall foliage gives birth to the idea for this color combination of a rusty brown wool worked together with a very fancy Italian novelty yarn (Magico by Filatura de Crosa).  The sweater is knit from sleeve to sleeve and then the front panel is added.  The button is one-of-a-kind ceramic by artist, Alice Hunt.  The overlapping front is held in place by strong, tiny magnets!  A Micki Smith original, of course.     Price:  $175. (incl. shipping and handling) close up of Alice Hunt button

Artist Vest Knit in every conceivable direction! This artistic vest is knitted in all directions from one color palette in my stash.  Each piece is knit, then a complementary border is put around all the pieces and laid out on a pattern of my design.  The pieces are then worked with the complementary color until the vest emerges.  Hours of work go into this kind of free form knitting.  Obviously, there will never be another piece exactly like this one.   Size: sm/med (36-38" bust)       Price:  $195 incl. s/h/i

Moonlit Meadow Sweater   Prototype for this sweater was made with handspun Icelandic wool from a ram lamb's first shearing.  The sweater itself was donated to the Shenandoah Valley Fiber Festival to be raffled off.   The sweater is knit beginning at the left sleeve cuff and continuing across, finishing with the right sleeve cuff.  It's so easy an advance beginner can finish it in a couple of weeks.

	Yates Autumn Jacket     Tucked between the mountains in Brownsville, VT, sits the Yates Farm.  They raise market sheep and every year before sending the sheep off to market, they shear.  The fleece is then sent to a mini-mill in Maine where it is processed.  Once a year in November, for five days, the Yates offer this yarn for sale in their ancient farm house.  It's an event not to be missed if you're a fiber fanatic and a history buff.  It doesn't hurt if you're a skier either.      This sweater is made from some of that special yarn.  While the sweater is no longer available (adorning someone's back), you can purchase the pattern.  Any worsted weight yarn will fulfill the pattern requirements but if you can swing a November trip to Vermont, all the better.
