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!

Quikie Cowl

Finally finished my Quickie Cowl, thanks for the free pattern f.pea (http://fpea.blogspot.com/)! I love how it looks and it was truley a "quickie". I used Alpaca (loved it, hated it...kept shedding as I moved along. ) Although soft to the touch, once on felt a little itchy. So perhaps I'll make my next one with something artificial, or maybe with cotten. Who knows, but here it is!

The ever enthusiastic model (Taylar) was quite sleepy and ready for bed.

Can also be pulled up and used as an ear warmer...multi-functional, my favorite!

early thursday morning, semi drunk brain buffet

oh how i wish arial narrow was an option. meh. hi there! tom here, hopelessly barely drunk and anxious for more knitting. for starters, gotta thank my partner in blog knittyrin for making all this possible. it seems like only a couple months ago ( because it was ) we were hanging out at a little bar discussing god knows what when knitting came up. "sweet crackers!", i thought, "here's my chance!" and she totally helped me out getting started. so here we are, several months later, contributers to a blog that noone is reading and i couldn't be more excited. my brain swells in glorious anticipation of the endless array of knitted gold that could spring forth from a simple pair of needles. so many ideas, and oh yes, i have plenty of free time. some people want to own nice cars and houses, families and puppies...i just want to knit all those things and sell them at outrageous prices. or give them away at charity auctions for the spleen impaired. i would even consider an exchange for sexual favors from supermodels ;P regardless of where it leads, i WILL continue on this fantastic voyage, purl be damned! there is still so much to learn and though it may take years of practice, like the old song says...time is on my side...

Stash

Here it is...
my stash.

Unfortunatly, this isn't all of it.
