Two of my loves together as one!

Handknit Heroes

I'm going to have to get a subscription to this.

Aloha from Hawaii

I've survived my sister's wedding and will be heading off to Oahu tomorrow. But first I had to share my find.



Maui Yarns a superwash Merino wool dyed by a local lady. It was bought at The Needlework Shop in Lahaina. It's colorway is called Surfer Boy Blue, and I already have the project in mind for it. She also had a few other colors there - Pineapple Upside Down Cake (yellow gold) and Paradise PInk.

I also have made good progress on a friend's birthday present. I'll be posting pictures of it when I give it to her.

Testing

Testing before I go out of town.

-- Post From My iPhone

iPhone Cozy

One of my presents this year was an iPhone. And instead of spending money on a leather case, made one based on the Funky Fones 6x6 Cable Case.

Empty.


With the iPhone tucked inside.


When I get a little more confidence, I'll give the Owl Cable one a try.

I admit it. I'm relatively new to knitting. I look at things and think, hey I could knit a cozy/warmer/holder for that. I might even think about how to design it. Sometimes they are common things, sometimes not so common.

Never would I have thought of this.

I give you a Snail Warmer, and one made to look like a Christmas Tree.

I would love to know what thought process happens to make you think, "Hmm. That snail looks cold. I'll knit it a little holiday themed sweater." Because I want to be able to do that. It's a combination of 'that's so cute!' and 'WTF?!?' that I adore.

DROPS Slippers in Garter Stitch

DROPS Slippers in Garter Stitch are an interesting elf boot like pattern. It makes up quickly, but it is a bit tricky to put together if you are using a single color like I did.

Ridiculously Easy Mary Janes

I also made two Ridiculously Easy Mary Janes, changing the pattern for the strap.
