25: Christmas Mittens

(picture from Michelle herself)

Michelle had a vision, a vision of Christmas mittens. I helped her vision become a reality.

I used a pattern from here. Now, you may notice that my mittens are not as "simple" as their mittens. I altered the pattern a little to get the hat effect and candy cane thumb. I also added a pom-pon to the top and an extra layer of white knit to the back to create a rim for the hat.

18: Felted Heart

I knitted up this cute little Halloween heart in about 1.5 hours. That includes the knitting, felting, stitching, and stuffing. The only wool yarn I have is black and green. So I decided to make a little black one with orange eyes for Halloween. Really though, I have absolutely nothing to do with it.

Pattern: Hearts at Mochimochi Land

12: Snotvia Bag

This was supposed to have a row of small skull and crossbones under the larger one. But instead of that, I wrote "Snotvia." I got the pattern from Jezebel at talklikeapirate.com. Here is a direct link to the pattern. It took me a while to make, but it was worth it. It was my first felted project too.

I now use the bag to carry around the current knitting project and supplies. I like it. And I like it more because is says "Snotvia!"

The 6th

This scarf is pretty cool. I'd wear it a lot more if it was longer. The coloring is due to a really neat yarn I got at Wal-mart. I did ribbing on this scarf, that makes it a really nice texture. I may make another one of these only longer.

Numéro Quatre

After over a year of not knitting or crocheting, I decided it was about time to pick up the knittles again. I created a short and stubby Halloween scarf. It was my first attempt at joining yarns. It wasn't a very good one. Having no right-wrong side to the scarf makes it look sloppy. Although it is festive.
