More Mittens

Used Pattons SWS (Soy Wool Stripes)

Loved the way it varigated and it was easy to knit with, not a lot of un-eveness. Leans more towards the itchy side, so not sure I'll be using them a whole lot. Might get some SOAK to soften them up.

Manley Mitts

I have been on this mitten kick ever since I found a pattern that requires nothing but dpn's. I LOVE making mittens! So this is probably the 3rd or 4th pair I've made and definatly the biggest. I've learned that I don't have to change my needle size to get the mittens bigger, just change the weight of the yarn.

I love the way this yarn shaded in a way to make the thumbs on both mittens darker. Totally not planned. Used Moda Dea Tweedle Dea in Saharra on no. 3 & 4 dpn's. Super soft yarn and very thick when knith this tight, sure to keep your paws toasty!

Baby Llama Drama

So I love this hat pattern, if you can get on ravelry it's under the name "Utopia". Made this hat for brother Zach. Made from 100% Peruvian Baby Llama. Super easy quick knit. Made 2, this was the second. He liked them, so kept both! Plan on making another one for brother Travis. Hope to post it soon :)

Green to Keep Ya Warm

Here's Knittybird wearing the green neck warmer I made for her birthday. Worked in ss stitch on straight needles. Could have sworn I used an acylic yarn but once I was done, noticed that it was actually a wool blend. Ooops! So, it's kinda itchy. She was a sport and wore it anyway :)

Blanket Bob

Blanket Bob, a cute-sie alternative to the traditional blankie.

Worked completely with seed stitch

Up-close you can see where I dropped a stitch and didn't catch it, but decided to pick one up (?). Yeah, so I never said my reasoning was based on the correct way of doing things...don't judge me!

Make for baby Luraas... will also be giving a cute kicking sack and baby beanie.

Mommas Mittens

Whipped these up in 2 days flat. Very impressed with the yarn (di.Ve' Teseo) and how it striped. It's a merino/microfiber blend, so it's not too itchy.

Obviously I lost count on the right mitten and it's a tad bit longer than the left...but momma says she loves them anyway ( and they fit fine, so why shouldnt' she!).

This was my first project done COMPLETELY on dpn's so I was stoked when they turned out so awesomely awesome! Working on my second set now.

Pattern can be found on http://www.ravelry.com/ under "Warmest Mittens".

The Stripey

Well, lets talk about his hat. At first I was so excited, because the hate was cute and I was *sigh* using yarn from my basket of balled up stash. Well, I didn't think about how the stipes wouldn't match up when I went to sew the sides. But...I don't think a 7 year old cares if the stripes aren't even.

I think Taylars head is a little too big for this hat, but at the time she was the only model I had for the job :)
Big Ole' Tassels

The recipient of the hat, she seemed pleased!
