Button Hat

Pattern from I Like Lemons, (I knit the brim in Mistake Stitch). I got the Yarn from Presiegne, Wales, where I was visiting over the summer and I wanted a hat that would really allow me to show off the natural yarn. It is super warm and cozy!

Gretel Hat

As a christmas pressy for the sister, I made us little berets- using Gretel from Yosolda, it took me quite a few tries to get right (I mean, you think I would have actually learned to knit a bit first to get my gage right). Oh no. Well here are some pics. It is a very fun pattern to knit.

Fetching Gloves

Fetching Gloves from Knitty.com I made these for my sister who is just going off to start her new live in Oregon. She is going to start University next year and is working now to get instate tuition. These will help to keep her little fingers warm while she bikes all around.


I took out 10 stitches (2 cables) because they were insanely large, but the pattern is super quick and very easy to do.

Puppy Sweater

I just knit this sweater for my dog (Marley) with some stash busting style! I think it came out rather sweet. I just made up the pattern, but I am sure you dont want it because my dog has a rather oddly shapped body and it wouldnt be very helpful :)

I got the scottie fair isle from this site.

MAN Sweater

My first sweater sweater! Done! Here are some pics~



I got the pattern from one I bought at my local yarn store on Vashon Island, WA, though I used the fair isle pattern from a magazine. I put a different neck on as well, rather than just leaving it I stitched on a ribbed neck. It was a lot of fun, so much nicer now I bought a whole set of cables and needles that are interchangable!

First Almost Sweater

So my first sweater isn´t exactly a sweater. So what.


Here it is! The Anthropologie-inspired Capelet From Peony Knits (its a free pattern, if you want to know). I used the left over yarn from the poncho which worked out well. I added a lot more rows to the bottom, maybe my boobs are just to big or the needles I used were different, or my gage was somehow off. I donno. But it looks fine in the end :)




It took quite a bit of needle improvising, and a little help from the online videos from Knittinghelp.com, (for the 2-needle-circular knitting I used on the ribbing for the sleeves) and a rather long afternoon in the park (my dog didn't seem to mind too much).

I Can Knit a Hat

Who knew?

I was feeling quite adventurous, given the lack of double pointed needles (and that the only circular knitting needles come in size 3 mm or 3.5mm) but I made do with 2 pairs of 3 and a 3.5 set and a lot of left over yarn from my blanket, which yes, I finished about a month ago and still fail to weave in the ends so I cant take a picture just yet!

But without further adu, here is the first hat born of my own hands.

I knit the flower petal by petal just making it up as I went along, then stitched them in with an embroidery needle, (you should see the inside it looks truly mad). The center is just stitched in after that for the "no I don´t sew, isn´t it obvious?" look.
