craftgrrl | cause i feel like showing off. (Reply)

been doing tooons of knitting lately. putting off school/increased knitting confidence = tons of fos.

so here we are. these are vaguely in order. with the exception of the fetching, blue ones from like october, black from like two weeks ago.

fetching! i actually made these in like, october or something. but i didn't get around to getting rid of the tails until after i made the black pair.

i like the black better, cause they are neater and i didnt do the picot bind off. delicious. made both of them out of whatever the patterns calls for. it is wonderful and SOFT!!

umbilical cord hat, made for a friend of mine who just had a baby. out of the stitch n bitch book, modeled by my wonderful teddy bear. made with whatever the pattern called for (patons canadania i think)

easy, cute scarf i made for a friend while i was home over christmas break from school. i was home for OVER A MONTH and decided it would be good to not bring any knitting stuff with me. needless to say, i made a trip to joanns and bought some 10.5s and some cheapy vanna white yarn, haha. it was from some box of scarf pattern cards. i wasnt as happy with the end result cause it curled really bad and i couldnt block it (damn acrylics) but it was cute and my friend loved it.

not really an FO but a random swatch i made while trying to figure out wtf to do with that yarn. finally figured it out (pictures below) but i thought that swatch looked kinda like vaginas. its just something from a stitch pattern book i bought.

easy k2p2 green hat. made this once on straight needles, hated the seam and the decrease, frogged and re did it on circular. so much nicer, i might give it to my dad for his birthday. that is def me and a cheesey smile, hah. i followed the pattern out of stitch n bitch.

KNUCKS!! holy crap i still can't believe i made these. seriously. this was right after i put the thumb on, and i had a ton of trouble figuring out how to do it, hah.

both of them!!!! i might embroider something on them, but i dunno what yet.

what i am working on now. this is with that green yarn i did the vagina swatch of previously. following this pattern, although now that i look at it it doesnt look so much like that picture. oh well.

and just to continue with me being a photo whore, here are some pillowcases i made when i was home over break, as christmas gifts for roommates.

anyway, i guess ill quit photo whoring now. i just wanted to show off. in my knitting future i have a yoga mat bag, mittens and SOCKS! someday.

thanks in advance for comments =] and sorry for all the crappy photobooth pictures, i'm lazy haha.
