safety cone mouse

For Gambit


Fantastic cat toy pattern in "Stitch and Bitch Nation": knit on 3.5s with some of that orange yarn I happen to love. I was sending Fatty and Secret boyfriend a package full of knit goods, and I just couldn't leave their kitty out. So I stuffed this happy mouse full of catnip, and word around town is Gambit had a good time. oh yeah.

griffin gloves

for Tristian



These gloves were fun because I made up the pattern as I went. CO 30, rib for an inch, M6 evenly, work griffin pattern, BO 6 for thumb, work even, BO in turn for fingers. The mitten flap was worked separately and stitched on . The yarn is actually a fun story too: nice thick , soft brown yarn stuffed in a goodie bag with scraps of red mulch chunky for $2. Who would have thought they would work together so well?

Scarves with PhDs

Good news! I finally figured out how to log back into this account. It has been a long and painful process, and therefore I am glad to assure you that now I have lots of things to post. The first of which, is a scarf I sent to Dr. Eckhoff for all of his help getting me into grad school.



Knit on straight 6s with Lion yarn, weave pattern shown bellow. I think it turned out pretty fantastic.
