Mum's Matching Hat

Mum's hat to match the scarf

Ickle Bag

Or the Teeny Tiny Felted Tote.

This was a thoughtful gift from my SP in SP11, Crafty Drama Queen. She included everything, the needles, the yarn, the pattern and the button.






I changed the pattern a bit though. It's meant to have a narrower flap. I prefer a wider flap on my bags, so I went ahead and changed it. :)

I also added an i-cord which I felted along with the bag. To fit it, I just poked a 5.5mm needle through and made a hole which I threaded half the i-cord through. (the cord rather than the cut end is better here)

Two holes each side for the two straps. and nice little knots to hold it in place.

I've also dried it in a specific shape to allow for good closure at the top.

Grandma's Scarf

Another One-Skein...

But in two colours.

Sibling Stripes

I decided to crochet "matching" scarves for Leon's brothers, but not the same. You'll notice that they have many of the same colours, and they're both from the Stripes and Stripes Forever pattern (SnB HH)

Floral Surprise

I crocheted this one for my OH's Mum. She likes flowers and she likes these colours, so it seemed to fit.

Again, it's a Stoller - from the Happy Hooker.

A Tad Plaid

This is a scarf and gloves set for my sister. The yarn is called plaid, hence the name.

The pattern isn't for chunky yarn in the case of the scarf, it's the One Skein Scarf from Stitch n Bitch - the Happy Hooker, and it's originally in Aran.




For the gloves I used the pattern here

Irish Hiking Scarf (3)

So, for Christmas I knitted three (yes, three) Irish Hiking Scarves. I will never again knit the same thing for more than one person - it gets dull.

Anyway, they were all fab, so here they are: (model is my OH where there is one!)
