Baby Socks

I finished the baby socks. I started them a while back. I was using 4 DPNs size 3 and I lost one so I ripped them out and started over with size 4. I'm glad I went up a size of needles because I don't think these socks are going to fit for long.

Granny Square

I finished my first granny square! I screwed up one corner of it, but I'm just happy to finish my first one. Now I'm going to rip it out and start over.

Fan and Feather

I love the fan and feather stitch. I've used it quite a bit lately. It's the same stitch I used for the blanket I made my Mom for Christmas and for the Stash Busting Baby Sized Washcloths. My most recent fan and feather project was a scarf made with Caron's Simply Soft in black.

I'm Not Loving It

I finished a baby blanket a few weeks ago. I saw a very pretty brown and blue variegated yarn that I fell in love with. I loved the color combo. Once I started knitting I fell out of love. It was too 70's couch for me. I went ahead and finished the blanket. I like the yarn much better still wound in a skein.

Stash Busting Baby Sized Washcloths

I've posted about my love for making dishcloths. I happened to have tons of left over cotton dishcloth making yarn. In an effort to stash bust and make something useful I knitted up some baby sized washcloths. I made them in a simple fan and feather stitch on size 7 needles.

Knitty's Brown Bag

I knitted the Brown Bag from Knitty. I couldn't find the yarn it called for locally and I was too cheap to order it on line and pay for shipping. Instead I used a double strand of Patons Classic Merino Wool in Dark Natural Mix. I was hoping to find a clasp similar to the one used in Knitty, but the pickins were slim around here. The one I used I found at Hobby Lobby. I wanted a magnetic type closure, but all I could find were plain jane. This was my first successful felting project. I wish I had remembered to take a picture before felting. It looked like a giant bowl and I was worried. It felted up a lot better than I expected.

Swap Socks

One of the things I like about the Ongoing Wishlist Swap on Craftster is that a lot of people want socks. I love to make socks and I think everyone I know is getting tired of me giving them socks. It works out well for all parties involved. The last socks which were sent to someone for the OWS on Craftster.

Mom's Christmas Present

Here is the picture of the blanket I knitted Mom for her Christmas present. I used a fan and feather pattern. It's not the best picture in the world, but it's the best one that came out.

Owl Swap Angel Package

Here are pictures of the angel package I made for the owl swap on Craftster.

Owl scarf I knitted then added felt appliques.

Pillow and zippered pouch.

Knitted Owls. I used the Edmund the Owl pattern. The one on the left I kept for me. I named him Edwin.

Small owl I sewed. The pattern isn't in English, but it's pretty easy to figure out.

Mother's Day Shawl Take 2

I finished another of the shawls I made Mom for Mother's Day. This one is for me. I used the Light and Lovely Boucle Wrap on Joann's website.

The one I made for Mom

Headbands

Remember the headbands I made a while back? I've now gotten around to photographing them. Please ignore the scaly forehead and unplucked eyebrows.

I'm Addicted

I think I'm addicted to making dishcloths. Do they have dishcloth makers annoymouse? I finished up 2 more and I have more on my WIP list. They're just so easy to make and convienient to carry around.

Fan and Feather I liked the fan and feather pattern so much I think I'm going to use it for the blanket I'm going to make. It was easy and went fast.

Fleck Stitch

I like this pattern, but I didn't like it with this yarn. Next I'm going to try it with solid color yarn.

Baby Blanket

I finished up the baby blanket over the weekend. This is the 4th blanket I've done in this pattern. I think the next time I have to make a blanket for someone I'm going to find a different pattern. I found a nice broken rib pattern while decided if I wanted to do this one or not. I may try that one next time. I have to get a card and some wrapping paper then I can mail this one out. I really liked the yarn I used so I'll probably use it again for the next one. The yarn is machine washable!

The Purse

The very simple easy purse that took me months and months to make because I'm lazy.

The Last of the Dish Cloths (for now)

The final 3 dish cloths I've made recently. I think I'm off of the dish cloth kick for a while. I love making them, but I want something a little bigger. Click link for pattern I used.

Star Wars Laptop Bag

I finally finished the Star Wars laptop bag that I made for Mr. KittyVegas. It was for his birthday back in Feb. The first bag I made was of poor fabric choice so I ripped it apart and made this one. The first one was made of a Chinese brocade, red with embroidered dragons. Poor poor material choice, I've learned my lesson on that. This one I pretty much finished up in March, but it's been sitting around waiting for me to sew the Velcro on it so it would close.

TSMDKP

The Top Secret Mother's Day Knitting Project is finished and given away. My Mom loved the shawl. I loved it so much that I went back to Joann's and bought yarn to make myself one. Mine is going to be black and gray. It's a fun pattern to knit and it knits up quickly. I got the pattern online from Joann's.

Jewelry

I wasn't very crafty last week. I got a couple pieces of jewelry made.

The flower is mother of pearl. The beads are amethyst chips and purple glass beads.
