Joy asked for help with fingerless mittens to wear in the office while working. She provided the yarn and the needles and this is what we came up with.
Cast on 30 for ribbing. Increased to 39 for the seed stitch hand. Decreased to 38 for the top ribbing. Sewn up with a thumb home.
Only partial credit for this one. Second sock completed for Auntie. And completed does not include sewing in the ends. I have my limits!!! Brought back from England in August. Knitting done in October. Finished October 18th.
Sweater pattern I created. 3 cables on the front. One on each sleeve. Started during management offsite in July. Knitting finished in England in August. Last 2 ends sewn in September 20.
Meggie loves Frozen, of course, and wants to be Elsa all day every day. I crocheted her an Elsa hat. She was sleeping in it at first.
This is Meggie with the braid up, because at the start of Let It Go, Elsa has her hair up. She is also wearing a sweater with just one button done up at the top, because that is how Elsa does it.
I have finished the 5 hour sweater out of the Sochi 2014 yarn! The knitting Olympics and Olympics inspired yarn together make the gift for Richard and Lindsay's baby.
Finished on March 10th. Plenty of time for his birthday! 60 stitches. Patons Kroy sock yarn. One ball (166 yards) with a little left over. Size 3 needles.
I finished the hat to go with the garter bolero just before the end of the Closing Ceremonies.
This is the same cream yarn but not the matching hat to the garter pattern. I went with the parasol hat. The bottom 12 rows set a pattern that looks like an open parasol.
Completed January 31. Manos. Unknown color. Pattern from 2013 calendar.
I enjoyed making these. The cables made it mildly challenging. They were quick. Just 4 ends to sew in. And they fit well.
I would make these again but with a different cable. I prefer a twisted cable to a branching cable. And I am not sure I got the cables right all the way through.
