Ruffles and Rainbows


How excited was I when she asked for a rainbow scarf? So much so I dropped everything and got started! (She's usually not into things I make)


And then her little friend started to show interest too. Oh smiling heart :)
Here it is in the making a rainbow scarf with ruffles.

Hooked on Cables






There is a Warm Up To Winter Knit Along going on over at Luvinthemommyhood. I decided to join in on the fun, picked up 2 skeins of Cascade sport weight yarn, and decided to make a hat.

Cables are a new knitting adventure for me and I'm really digging them. The pattern is a joy to knit. It's fun watching the cables and eyelets come about. I'm a little sad it's almost finished...

Done! Maybe I need another :)

Hot Head

Knit, knit, knit, slip...

A hat for him. Waiting for some fleece lining and it's ready to wear. The original band gave me some trouble so I had to go an easier route. May try again for myself. Here is the pattern.


The best part is...he likes it! Yeah.




Snowflakes



None have fallen yet this winter here so I have made do crafting up some of my own. This is a wire craft I came across on etsy and let me tell you it is addictive. Craft wire and an eensy weensy crochet hook = lots o fun!

Warmth




Loving cozy yarn in the winter. Working on fingerless gloves for the little one. They are turning out a bit on the large side, but that's ok. Found some lighter yarn for another pair. The pattern is too fun :)
