Cable Knit Hat

I forgot to make note of when I started this hat, but I’ve been working on it for a few months, a little at a time. It’s the first thing I’ve knitted in the round. I like how it looks, and I learned how to do a double decrease. The only thing I would change is I would make it a little longer. I wanted a hat that would cover my ears, but this doesn’t quite make it. I was so happy to finish it, that I was not about to frog it halfway to make it longer. Maybe I'll give it to iBob and I’ll make another one for me!

E's Birthday Scarf

I made this scarf for E's Birthday in January.  It's knitted from a yarn called Pomp-la-Doodle.  I found this “yarn” a little tricky to cast on. It took some getting used to, but was easy to knit. It hides mistakes well. :) This pattern said it makes a short scarf at 35 1/2” long. However mine ended up being 32” long, using the whole ball. I even knit a little tight, so I thought it would have been a little longer. It’s a bit too short for me, but thankfully E loved it!

Basket Weave Blanket

This was my first EVER "thing" I knitted.  It's been done for over a year, and I finally got around to taking a picture of it.  It was a good practice in knitting and purling.  I got the pattern from the Lion Brand website, but made it on a much smaller scale.  It fits perfectly on Bubble's doll bed.  There are mistakes in it, but I don't care.  And neither does the doll, who is currently snuggled under it.

Lauren's Crocheted Headband

The other half of my niece's present was this cute headband, modeled by Bubbles. I crocheted it using this headband pattern and this flower pattern.  It went together very quickly (less than 30 minutes).  I love how it turned out, and now want to make one for Bubbles and her Big Sis.

Felted Wool Baby Mary Jane's

I crocheted these baby mary jane's with wool yarn, then felted them. I think they turned out so cute, and they were a quick project. They were given as a baby gift to a neighbor who just brought home twins. I found the pattern free online, but now can't remember where. Oops.

Child Capelet

I L-O-V-E this little capelet! I can totally see my little Miss A wearing this. I can't wait to go pick out the perfect yarn to make one. I will have a hard time deciding what color choose. If it's as easy as it sounds, she may have a whole assortment of colors. Found on You Can Make This. Update:  Done!  I made 2 and they are SO cute and easy!
