Welcome to my world...
These were my second pair of socks I made, and my first everyday socks. They came together much faster then I had thought and I absolutely love them. I'll be making more socks in the future for sure.
Pattern is Arch-shaped Socks (PDF) by Jen Showalter.
I made this shrug over a weekend to wear to a few weddings. It unblocked itself while I was wearing it, but hopefully a more forceful blocking will fix that.
Pattern is Liesl by Ysolda. (I do need to get more pictures, for now, this will have to do.)
These stockings were made for my Corly Jester costume. They were the first time I had attempted socks. They took me a while to finish (mostly because I took a long break from the costume) but I love how they turned out. I also made the garters by tablet weaving.
Pattern is German Stocking by Cookie A.
Twist was started in November and is in many ways my first real sweater. The Simply Knitted Bodice is a sweater, but this one had seams and is much more of an every day sweater. I absolutely love it, especially the seam where the sleeves are attached because I have never sewn sleeves in where I actually cared how they looked. This is definitely my favorite thing I've made. Pattern from Chic Knits.
I love Sweeney Todd. I love the original Broadway version, I love the film version, and I love the revival version. I love the music, the characters and everything about it. Now, my little Pirate heart gravitates more towards cutlasses then straight razors, but have you tried carrying around a cutlass undetected? Sweeney had the right idea.
Pattern is Ysolda's Garter Stitch Mitts. Great pattern.
A simple head scarf made from yarn left over from my Clapotis. I only made it 18 stitches wide instead of the 24 called for, and I made it only long enough to fit around my head and fasten with a button. Pattern by Wendy Bernard of Knit and Tonic.
Made for Guadalupe as her part of the Hot Topic stuff. Somewhere between 5 and 5 and a half feet long.
These guys are for Sam's co-workers. The two normal Zeros are made from this pattern, and the scarves are based off of that pattern, this one, and my own for the scarf bit. I started the first one at the end of November and finished the last one March 1.
My first real crochet project. Pattern can be found here. I absolutely love him and I'll be making more!
It took me a while to finish this sweater, and I don't know why. I stopped working on it when all I had left was a sleeve and the neck edging, and it sat for about a year. I finally finished it and I like how it fits. I did some editing from the pattern, mainly in the sleeves, but I also added some rows between the lace and the neck and did a different neck treatment. The pattern can be found at Stitch Diva.
My first color work, and my second pair of mittens. I love them! Pattern from Hello Yarn. I accidently felted part of the palm shoveling (wool + moisture = Duh!) so I might have to redo them. Darn.. :)
Made randomly when I was doing laundry with some Red Heart I had laying around. I love how it looks though. This picture was taken a year after I made it.
Pattern from Knitty.com. Two years later I still haven't woven in the ends.
Made as a gift for my cousin’s baby, and my first time doing anything lacy. Pattern by Debbie Bliss.
Taken from the book Stitch n’ Bitch.
Made out of a random skein of yarn I had. I made the pattern up as I went. Works well for a vacation bag, thought it doesn't really get used.
My first venture into cables. Pattern from Knitty.com
Made for my nephew. My sister-in-law asked me to make them before she knew she was even pregnant. Both patterns from Stitch n’ Bitch.
Made for a friend on Live Journal. Leg warmer pattern from Stitch n’ Bitch, and sheep from a knitting encyclopedia. (Can’t remember the name)
Made for a friend on Live Journal. The base was from a free pattern online, and the spikes were freehanded.
Made on a knitting machine. Not really my favorite project.
I made these to go with my Electra costume. Made from various yarn, mostly Red Heat and Aunt Lydia's Rug Yarn. Purl side out, gone over with a slicker brush to slightly fray/snag it to make it look softer and "furrier."
