Green Fixes

I had some pieces that weren't quite fitting so I decided to spend this month evening out the loose ends (in green of course).

February Addition

This month I taught myself two new stitches. The first is this basket weave stitch. It's really plushy and makes for a great blanket texture. The yarn I used for this is a cashmere blend and SO soft! I'm really pleased I purchased it.


The second section I created this month is what's called a V stitch. I made it too tight so it ruffles a little bit but I like the little eyelet design that it created and think it looks lacy while adding a little bit of a delicate touch. It's the same kind of yarn as the baby yellow above, just in a moss color so it's very soft as well.

Snuggle Slippers

These were extra-fun to make! I used two strands of yarn at a time to make them thick and hold their shape. The base was made with black and brown yarn while the sides and top were made with light purple and green. I want to work on variations of these to make a ballet slipper design and maybe even try mary janes with a little buckle.

Gifts by me

This year I made some wearable gifts. I'm getting better with a crochet hook so I was able to complete these two fairly quickly and I'm very happy with how they turned out.

For my little sister who happens to be obsessed with purple I made a hat and scarf. The scarf was a pattern I put together by mashing a couple patterns I have used before. Her hat, on the other hand, was created as I went.


For my Mom I made a cowl out of some fantastic green yarn I found earlier this year(I used some of the left over for my sister's hat and Clover's bonnet from a previous post). She can use it to warm her neck or as a chunky headband. This pattern was a variation on this pattern I found: http://angryolive.livejournal.com/13767.html

Babber's Bonnet

It's been quite chilly here in beautiful Seattle, so much so that we're snowed in at the moment. in celebration of the icy weather I've made a snug little head warmer for my tiny companion. I know I know, tormented she may look but I assure you she appreciates this sucker while out in the brisk northwestern air.

Stripe Bag

Finished my bag made from yarn remnants. Took me almost a week but I loooooooooooove it!! Now to rest my paws for a few days before I start on a another project I've been asked to do.

Beanie Stripes

After making Jon a beanie yesterday I got a little hat-jealous so I made one with new yarns and a few recycled. It's so soft and snug!

Happy Green Toes Day!

now for beer and maybe a cupcake!
