Just an update

So, I'm still working on the vest. I have some of the edging done now, but I need needles that are in a pair of mittens right now. Therefore, this project is temporarily on hold. I'm a little worried that I made the vest a little small. I'm looking for a way to fix this, if it's possible... so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.



Here are the needles that are holding up my vest project. I found a pattern of these mittens on Ravelry, but I didn't buy the pattern. I just kind of made up my own from the picture. I actually love love love this pattern. So, I have to finish this mitten, start the next and then finish the vest!





As well, today I was zooming around the web and I found a site called Hook and Needles. You can visit the site here. On it she posted two videos that I thought were so cute that I'd share them myself!

Here is one that I think is super cute. The thing that blows my mind is how fast she knits! Not to mention that she doesn't even seem to drop a stitch!

Here is one that I think is sooo cool! Even though this was done with a knitting machine, I bet it still took a while to do!

Well, that's all for today. :o)

Two new mittens and a finished scarf

Well, I finished my boyfriends scarf. I sent it to him for valentines day, and he really likes it! I ended up having to block it because the edges kept curling. The blocking worked quite well, so I'm pleased with it overall. Here's the finished version:

Next are the first set of mittens I knit up. I bought the pattern from a local yarn shop. The pattern is called Toasty Warm Double Mitts. They are not done yet, though, because I need to knit the lining. I'm hoping to block them soon and get the lining finished.

Andddddddddd... here's mitten number two. It's a pattern from Interweave Crochet. Thrummed crochet mittens. I love it! It's so clever. I've never seen thrummed crochet mittens before and as soon as I saw the pattern I was so excited.

As well, I bought Selbuvotter a few days ago, so now I'm waiting for it to be shipped. I imagine it'll be a few weeks to a month before I get it because I ordered it from the US. I'm really excited about it. Well, I hope you enjoyed my knitting today and I'll try to update sooner from now on.

Finished Projects

So, here are some of my finished projects.

Thrummed mittens: This was my first pair of thrummed mittens, hence why they ended up so puffy.

My first pair of socks:

Trigger finger mitts for dad:

and some Amigurumi (my first time crocheting):

I have more finished project, but never took pictures of them. Mostly they are scarves and such. I will update the projects I'm currently working on tomorrow. I hope you enjoy!! If you have any suggestions, just leave me comment!
