Wow 31 new patterns from Lion Brand yarns!

There are some cute items! My favorites are the Cat and Mouse Door Stops and the Sausalito Stirrup Socks. I also like the lion amigurumi too. The vest is really nice and I have a ton of worsted weight acrylic that I can use, although I am not really a fan of vests, with the kidney problem I have a hard time regulating temps, so i would add some sleeves to this. There are some nice cowls and the wristers (fingerless mitts) are really nice as well.
