Dec. 31st, 2006 08:28 pmHere are a few things that I have completed during this holiday season. Surprisingly, I have been able to crank out about one craft a day...whilst my husband makes sure the house is clean and I am fed and the bills are paid. Ahhhh, true love. ;) I am sure there are even more pictures waiting to be uploaded from my 1GB memory card. But, those can wait.
!Edited to add origami box pattern!

Fleece hat and scarf with butterfly applique for my husband's best friend's fiance's daughter modeled by Odie.

Fetching pattern from Knitty.com. I've made many, many pairs of these. I love the pattern. Even the infamous picot bind off! Paton's Classic Wool in Natural Mix for me Mum and a smaller pair in Dark Grey Mix for a very petite girlfriend. I altered the pattern by omitting one pattern motif (cast on 40 instead of 45) and using smaller needles (homemade size five shishkabobs. haha.) They fit her perfectly!

A ninja for my sister's boyfriend made of black fleece and craft felt. She hasn't given it to him yet and I don't think she is planning on it.


Origami boxes my sister and I made for her to package homemade cookies in for her co-workers. Made with double sided scrapbooking paper and dollar bin ribbons, both from Michael's. We made about 15 of them. And here is the pattern! We adjusted this as well by folding the top of the flaps outward to show off the backside of the paper.

A neckwarmer for my beeg seester. Moda Dea Tweedle Dee in Sagebrush. I adapted the pattern for a stole from the ball band and made it a little narrower and shorter. Then I added the button rows.


I purposely off set the buttons to make it drape like so. It looks completely different on her because she is petite and I am a giant compared to her. (She's like 5'2" and I am 5'8") I have a picture of her in it somewhere...



A camera case for me lined with fleece. The purty fabric was originally bought for my sister's PSP case-->


This is my first time using this type of fabric and it is a pain in the Arse. I have plenty left to correct my many mistakes!

The beginnings of Coronet from Knitty.com. I don't think I actually like this so I may frog it. Moda Dea Washable wool in Moss.
That's it for now. I have so much more to upload from my camera... And yes I do have many sisters.
