more handmade lovelies...

i call this set "blue suede shoes", although there it is not suede & there is nae a shoe involved...;) the scarf is another "ocean park scarf", my new favorite for lots of scarf for not so much wool...the mitts are my modified version of the easy fingerless mitts...

and the hat is the rib-a-roni...a fun knit for the name, if nothing else...:)

samantha, my sister, made me/us a knitting needles pouch. very cool & an improve pattern to boot! made from an upcycled fleece blanket & an old pair of ehren's fleece pajamas... complete with a red ribbon tie...


why did i say me/us?? you mean i haven't told you yet?? oh, my!

well, sk is one of the latest inductees into the club of knitters! (hooray!!)

her first project was a ball...(sorry, no photo :( )

project #2 was this hat...

not bad, eh??


she has actually already completed her 3rd project, a pair of matching mitts & is working on a convertible pair for a friend as we speak...

working on the mitts...why, yes! those are dpns!

she has taken to knitting like a fish in water...;)
another ocean park scarf, this one for a friend's wife... i call it "roseate"...

one of my latest mods is this sweet convertible mitts...i am so very excited!! they took a bit of finagling, but i got all the kinks worked out...
this pair was knit up custom for one of the co-op moms...complete with a pair of elk antler buttons that she scored @ a craft fair...

all the modifications are on ravelry, please let me know if there are bits that don't make sense...
for more lovelies, do be sure to check out "creative friday", hosted by the lovely linda @ natural suburbia...
happy friday! xoxo

  1. So many knitted wonders! And I am flabbergasted by such industry and daring for a beginner knitter. I only JUST made (as in finished late last night) my first hat, and I first started knitting 6ish years ago. Only now am I beginning to edge towards Advanced Beginner.

  2. I agree! Very impressive for beginner knitters. I should know - I am one too! :D
