Glass Slipper Sweater

I took it to Thanksgiving where it was tried on by several women, so if you fit it - you get it.
The pattern is "Bold and Bulky Mini Cardi" from Stephanie Japel's Fitted Knits. I have been obsessed by the patterns in this book, though I really don't have a fitted knits body. Her patterns are knitted from the top down with minimal seaming. It was a fun and fast knit. I followed the pattern almost exactly except for the trim on the sleeves where I ran out of yarn.

Man Booties

After one trip around in the front loading washing machine, these shrunk to exactly the right size. Even though the weather here has been quite warm, the slippers have been in use for the last week. They look kinda plain, though.

Bigfeet

OK, this is before felting. They should shrink down to human size. Meant to be house socks. Knit from Patons Classic Wool on 10 1/2 needles.

Happy Halloween!

Knitted witch hat in front of my very tired looking decorations. I'll be wearing it tonight for the annual neighborhood BBQ. Should keep me warm, though.

Knit from a free pattern from Maggie's Rags. The scariest thing is that I used Vanna's new acrylic yarn.

Sidetracked

Instead of sewing up a gnome, I started a new project. This pattern is called Mr. Greenjeans from Knitty. Does anyone really remember who Mr. Greenjeans was? A long sleeve cardigan knit from the top down in the round so no seams to sew (yea!). It looks like I may finish it. Made from stash yarn, a wool/cotton blend called Kureopatora from Germany.
More tiny blankets for Michele. The one on the left is diagonal knit at 15" square and the one on the right, a feather and fan pattern, is smaller at about 14" square.

Knit Gnome

Flat Gnome (except for the nose)

Mr. Gnome is finished knitting and ready to stuff.

Tiny Knitting

Preemie hat and very small blanket.

I'm REALLY Lazy

Because it's been a month since my last post. But you didn't think that I stopped knitting did you? Just lacking in finished objects. This is the Booga Bag pattern. A simple felted bag from a free pattern that's been around for a couple of years. I used 3 skeins of Noro Kureyon with very little left over. I'm not sure if there is enough for a strap. It measures 9" x 9" x 3". The book in the picture is on loan from the Knitting Guild, unread as of yet. The needle gauge is new - so far the best one I have found.

Lazy Days of Summer

I finished this last week, but I was too lazy to post. The pattern is Wisp from Knitty.com. A lightweight shawl scarf thing. The size is 12" x 50" I used a no name mohair from my stash so I don't have any idea of the fiber content.

Sunflower

From my garden.

Dog Blanket

Angel is a 5 and a half year old miniature dachshund. She is looking sad here, but she has a really sweet personality and is very devoted to her owner. She is a rescue dog who has a lot of medical problems and needs a lot of attention. I decided to knit her a cotton blanket for the summer using yarn from my stash. The blanket is about 36 inches square and 100% cotton.
