I never thought I'd see the day. Can you believe how many projects I've finished?? Some are older, but most were done recently in an effort to clean out my knitting stash before I go. And of course, I have cast on unnecessary new projects as well
.
Have you guys met my niece, Mindy? Tee hee... my sister has slept with this doll since she was 1. That's 21 years, folks! She needed a new dress. I designed it myself!! (the reason she is fairly clean is because Kym scrubbed her with Oxi-Clean -- I swear that stuff is MAGIC.)
Turtle Hat from Itty-Bitty Hats. The turtles are crocheted circles with embroidery! Malabrigo merino-- yum!
And the leftover green went to this: Hippo hat!
Patti designed the crochet hippo just for me :) -- isn't she awesome? It's a little hard to see because the colors are so dark, but trust me, it's adorable :)
This halter I made at the beginning of the summer and sent to Ruby for her 1st birthday! I hope she got to wear it :) Berrocco Cotton Twist, it's Katja from Knitty.
I made a new yoga mat bag with this yummy cotton I bought in SF last summer. The colorway is "Leaf" and it's got a shiny thread spun into it. My own pattern for the bag, lace is from 200 Ripple Stitch Patterns.
Here's Sheldon!! Didn't he come so cute? It was a really fun knit, even on the tiny needles. I tried to stuff his neck more tightly, but it's floppy. Oh well, it's for a baby anyway. KnitPicks Shine, which I happened to have in my stash!
This is a cardigan I made for a preggo co-worker but never got a chance to give it to her. We weren't that close anyway, hahaha... now I'll have a baby gift for the next shower. The coolest pattern -- it's knit all in one piece! The only seams are on the sleeves. I still need to put buttons on it. Elaine yarn in the Peter Pan colorway.
The Fishie Fooshies, felted. This is the only pattern I will make over and over. I just love it!! There's a little sock cuff. For Meg, in London.... I am buttering her up so I can go live with her LOL
Stay tuned... there's more to come!

You are a knitting Goddesss! I bow down before your crafty awesomeness. Meanwhile, in my 5 years of knitting I have knitted a whole slew of scarves. Just scarves. I stick with what I know. I'm thinking of sewing them all together and making something useful, like a headboard for my bed. Hmmmm. It could work, right?
RYC: Is Utah getting to me? Ummm, yes, you could say that. LOL.
look at 'dem mad knitting skills!
you rock!
How wonderful! You are knitting the sweetest things ever. As I scrolled down I kept saying to myself...that is my favorite, no that, no that! They are all adorable. It is good to "see" you again. ((hugs))
