Wrist Warmers
Mood:
happy
Now Playing: left over yarn
I had some left over yarn, and fun fur, and wanted to use the leftovers so I made a pair of wrist warmers. I used 2 strands of pink yarn held together. I used size 7 needles, and cast on 36. I knit with the yarn for 7 1/2 inches, then I added the fun fur and worked with the fun fur for 1/2 inch. I found that pattern at http://www.knitlist.com/01gift/wrist-warmers.htm

My Blizzard Knitting
Mood:
cool
Now Playing: I knit this sweater for my Sister in laws dog Mazie
I used to strands of yarn held together to give this sweater extra warmth. Because it gets very cold in South Dakota in the winter. I made it pink and purple. I added fun fur to the end ribbing on the sweater for cuteness. I hope that it fits Mazie, and I hope that she loves the colors. She should like the colors. Most girls like pink.

Another felted bag
Now Playing: I made this bag in one day
I worked on this bag all day on Sunday. I knit and felted it on Sunday. I used 1 strand of Wool of the Andes in the color Avocado, and 1 strand of nobo no boundaries the color Butterfly. Before felting it measured 13 inches wide and 14 inches tall. After felting it is 11 inches wide, and 8 inches tall. The pattern came from http://knitting.about.com/library/nicebag.htm

Felted Bag
I have just finished felting another bag. I did not use the yarn that the pattern called for. I wanted to try the pattern with some yarn that I had on hand. I used 1 strand of Knit Picks Wool of the Andes, in the color rain, and 1 strand of Yarn Bee Gilt Eyelash the color Watersparks. The URL for the pattern is http://knitting.about.com/library/nicebag.htm
It was a very easy pattern. I washed the bag twice because I didn't think that it felted enough the first time. Before I felted the bag it was 12 1/2 inches wide and 13 1/2 inches tall. After felting it was 12 inches wide and 11 1/2 inches tall. I am going to sew a button on the front of the bag as soon as it dries. I made a loop at the top of the bag for a closer.

Love to Knit Dishcloths
Mood:

Now Playing: It was cold and snowy yesterday
So I stayed in the house and knit a couple of dishcloths. I used cotton yarn in the color wine. The Patterns came from the Booklet Love to Knit Dishcloths by Evelyn A Clark. One is a Seed stitch heart, the other is a Purled Heart.

Snow
Mood:
cool
It is snowing in South Dakota this morning. My little puppy Elvis didn't really know what to think of the snow when I let him out this morning. He sure didn't stay out long.

Flashy slippers
Mood:
silly
Now Playing: slippers for my Mom
My Mom is 73 years old, and a very flashy girl. She wears very colorful clothing. You can definitely see her coming. Big earing's, and a watch to match every outfit that she wears. I think that she watches to much QVC, and the Home shopping network. Any way I have made her a pair of slippers. I used Yarn Bee Yarn in the color Nightfire. It is a fuzzy black and gold yarn. I got this yarn at Hobby Lobby. And 1 strand of Red Heart Black held together so that the slippers would be warm. I also knit a pair of Pink slippers for my niece Misty, and a pair of black wool slippers for her husband Jason.

Top-Down Mittens for Kids
Mood:
special
Now Playing: Making Gifts
I have made a pair of Top-Down mittens for my Granddaughter Casey. I have never made anything from the top-down before. I may try to knit a pair of socks from the top-down some day. The pattern for these mittens came from
http://www.p2designs.com/pdfs/ptn-MittTopDn.pdf
I used Lamb's Pride worsted wool for these mittens. I am sure these will keep her fingers nice and warm this winter. Next on the needles is more fuzzy slippers. I have more gifts to knit. The Red gloves are for my Mother-in-law, she is a Red Hat lady. I am sure that she will enjoy the gloves.
