One more pair...

Finished these last night, and forgot to include them in the set of pictures.
they are crocheted, and I finished them in about 1 1/2 hours.  They're supposed to have little bells on the end of the cuff, but I don't think that would be good for baby.
Elfin Baby Booties:

 I used Christmassy yarn for them...may go to my great niece in Indiana.

More booties

I've been in the baby mode lately.  Right now, I don't have the patience to make large objects, hence the two shawls on needles in various states of being finished.

I also made a Hexagon Revisited Sweater, which will fit a 3-4 year old.  Buttons aren't sewn on yet; may change them for a more girlie sweater, given the yarn has sparklies in it.

 these pattens  are in my Ravelry library.

Oh yeah, I made a halloween grab bag, too!!

Other small FO's

I've been enjoying doing small projects...instant gratification, you know!!!

5 minute baby booties



Roll brim baby hat:



And my cute little owlet:


Another pair of hand warmers

A free pattern on Ravelry I've wanted to make for some time...finally did it!!!
Cherry Red handwarmers  was the pattern.  They are a tad snug on my hands, but would fit a petite hand just right!!!





The yarn is Adriafil KnitCol  color 052.  It was a partial skein (116 yards) and I still have some left over!!!

Do you like the hands?  Hubby was out picking up leaves, so I had to improvise!

Two at a time fingerless mitts

Finally, I actually did something two at a time, and finished it!!!!  Now perhaps I will finish the socks I started a couple of years ago.
Pattern on Ravelry  Garden Trellis Mitts   The yarn is Knitcol  100% Lana Merino.  It says superwash, but I think I'll use special care...Too bad I already had removed my foo foo nails before the picture.

My first top down sweater!!!

I made my first top down sweater last night in 2 hours!!!!!  Wow, am i good or what?

Okay, so it's not an adult sweater, but it will look cute on my Christmas tree!!!  Free pattern on Ravelry called "Cheers".

More booties!!!

I got another hat and booties finished in plenty of time for a December baby!!!!
Same patterns...roll brim baby hat and Saartje's bootees.  Used up 2 partial skeins of leftover yarn.
