Knit Ketchup!

I haven't  posted any knitted projects in a llloonnggg time and I take pictures of almost everything I knit.  So finally here is an update!



This is a rolled hat with a cool army type colors.  I used Grassy Knoll Grassy Knoll Brown Sheep wool yarn.



I knitted this scarf several years ago.  It has Brown Sheep green cotton fleece as its base along with an awesome fury yarn that is very soft.   

These are some pink and white wrist warmers I knitted for a friend's relative 2 Xmases ago.  From what I remember it was a super wash wool.

Some more socks I knitted from sock yarn.  I think it was some other country yarn.  I knitted them from a pattern out of my Sock book I talk about in an archive post. 

Here are two cowls I knitted for a friend for her birthday.  I used this pattern and the yarn she said to use.  

Ribbed Rainbow scarf I knitted for a friend.  It was a cool mosaic yarn from Michaels.

Hat I knitted for my personal trainer.  It is a neon/bright green and black yarn which I bought at Michaels. 

This is the scarf I made for my personal trainer. Same yarn as hat and it was knitted first.  It is a cool houndstooth pattern and the back of it which I have on the right looks cool because of the two yarn colors going back and forth.

I think this might be the very first scarf I ever knitted or very close to it anyway.  I call it my raggedy scarf.  The color change ends I wove up the sides instead of trying to hide them within the color blocks.

More wrist warmers.  I think these were made with that really soft black yarn I mention in a previous post.  I think these were for my brother.

I think this is yet another scarf I knitted for my mom out of Bulky Brown Sheep blue skyways wool. 

Another hat

Crocheted black and green cell phone case I think I made for my brother out of Brown Sheep cavern and jungle green cotton fleece.



Basic ribbed hat with a cool green yarn with weird specs in it.  



Ribbed scarf to go with the hat made of the same yarn.



This is a crocheted iPod Classic case made with Brown Sheep Black Iris Serendipity tweed and Brown Sheep Mountain Forest for the draw string.



Legwarmers made with some fun bulky yarn I bought at Michaels



I had fun knitting these socks but they turned out to be HUMONGOUS and did not fit the person or probably anyone except for a guy with at least size 15 feet...DOH!

A skinny scarf made out of the same yarn I used for the socks. 

A black and red cell phone case.



A cell phone case I made for my mom's iPod Nano

Baby hats I made for a friend at work's new baby girl.  The white one came out horrible...not sure why but the pink one came out perfect.

Hat I knitted for a friend at work

Crocheted Purple cellphone case made for my mom's phone using Brown Sheep Serendipity tweed  blooming lilac

A cell phone case I crocheted using Brown Sheep cotton fleece with maybe raging purple and tea rose.  It was for a teacher of my brother's.  I didn't like the colors but that is what she asked for!

Mittens I knitted for a friend at work.  They were fun to make.  I have yet to knit gloves but I want to some day.



This is one of the first scarves I ever made when I first started knitting.  The fringe is cool but doesn't quite go with the scarf.  Also it is pretty heavy yarn. 

New Knitted Cellphone Case!

I knitted this yesterday and finished it early this morning. This is the first time I have knitted a cell phone case. I have made several in the past but they were all crocheted. This is also the first time I have used a knit chain (which was used for the draw string). For the case I used Serendipity Tweed made by Brown Sheep Company in colour Teal Orchid. It is 60% cotton/40% wool. The drawstring chain was made with Cotton Fleece by Brown Sheep Company in colour Lime Light. It is 80% Cotton/20% Merino Wool.

Felted Hat

Here is just a hat I felted for no one. I made it shortly after I made my grandma's slippers. I liked knitting with the yarn and I still have a lot left. This hat was made from the pattern "A Classic Cloche" from Knit One, Felt Too by Kathleen Taylor. I did not follow it exactly because I didn't want a cloche so I made it more like a regular winter hat. The mouth is actually a lot wider than I expected...didn't really hold its shape. So...it seems more like a beanie or an over-sized yarmalka. It just sits on your head like a piece of paper and comes to the tops of the ears. Not sure if I can fix this; I guess I could do some research and figure out what I would need to do. It shrunk length wise but not width wise :-(. It was made with Crystal Palace Yarns "Taos" 100% wool.

Felted Slippers for my grandma

These were made for my grandma for her May birthday. The first picture shows how big they were before they were felted. They felted so fast that they actually are a little too small for her :-(. She has already tried re-wetting them and stretching them over a pair of shoes but they still aren't big enough. She said she would try to stretch them out again. The opening where you put your feet was a littler larger than I thought it would be. The pattern is from Knit One, Felt Too by Kathleen Taylor. They are made with Crystal Palace Yarns "Taos" 100% Wool.

Throw for my grandma

I made this throw for my grandma earlier this year (2008). It turned out to be only be enough to cover the legs. I didn't make it longer because each stripe was a whole skien and the skiens were around $8-$10 each so just the yarn alone was well over $100!! EEK!! But it was awesome to work with. It is Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky which is 55% Merino Wool, 33% Microfibre, and 12% Cashmere.

A very cool Purple and Green Scarf

This is my second time working with 2 colours. I think this turned out very well!! I bought a Knit Pattern calendar and it had this houndstooth pattern on it. The scarf is knitted with green and purple in a houndstooth pattern. The yarn is Merino Frappe by Crystal Palace. It is 80% extra fine merino and 20% nylon. The second picture is of the back.

Reddish socks for me!

These socks I made for myself. Though I have so much yarn left over that I could probably knit another 2 pairs at least. The yarn is pretty cool but a bit thin. It is made in Turkey and it is called Supersocke 100 Sierra colour. 75% Superwash wool and 25% polyamid. http://www.online-garne.de

Turtle!!

I knitted this little guy during July of 2007. I still have yet to put a face on him or curve his flippers. He is filled with polly fill. The yarn is cotton. The pattern came from the book World of Knitted Toys by Kath Dalmeny.
