Tea Pot Cozy

Here's another half-finished project that I had to put on pause when I ran out of yarn: A Tea Pot Cozy.

 

It's going to be very cute, but...

  

Clearly I need more yarn. Thankfully, this is a Lion Brand yarn, so I'll be able to find something similar, but I'm pretty sure I bought it three years ago, so there are no guarantees. Here's a good reason to buy lots of yarn when there's no specific pattern in mind!

Fixed Knitting Needle Case

Remember ages and ages ago I bought a case for my knitting needles and crochet hooks? Well I finally got around to adding the Velcro that I wanted to hold my circular needles.

 

Which means that all my circulars are stored in a row, instead of in a tangled mess in one of the pockets.

 

But circulars aren't all I keep in here:

 

And after everything else was loaded up, I felt much more organized :)

Updated Blanket 5

Here's a little update of the Circle Blanket:

 

The yarn I added is the very little I had left after making the Cup Cozy!

Needle Case Embellishment

This is one of my knitting needle cases (with my most complete sequence of needles-- 1s through 13s, only missing 11s and 6s!), and a friend gave me this Jack Skellington patch ages ago. I had never done anything with it, but I wanted it to be somewhere where I could see it often (I love the Nightmare Before Christmas).

  I went ahead and used a stretchy stitch, so that the patch would be ok when the case was rolled up or laying flat. I like how it turned out :) Plus, it only took me about fifteen minutes to do.

Alternatively, the patch could have been hand-sewn and ironed on. But I liked the stitches showing :)

More Ex-Sweater

Remember the (still unfelted) Ex-Sweater Bag? After I finished knitting it, I still had sweater yarn left over, so I made a Mini-Ex-Sweater Bag to go with it!

 

While the big bag was made from the base up, this one was made from the top down. They turned out looking very similar, though, so I think they make a nice matching pair. This way, Mom can, for example, take her school things to work, and then just take the small bag with her wallet and keys in when she stops by the store on her way home. Very handy. 

This one also needs to be felted. Updated photos when it's finished.

Thank you, Jan!!

I was spoiled (spoiled!) by Jan, from my old knitting group for the one year anniversary of our knitting group being created!! See?:

 
Here I am ready to open my package with my knife!!

 
This is my "ooo" face, because Jan made me a bracelet with her super cool swirly metal work!! And it has tiger's eye in it! It's super pretty.

 

 

My favoritest snack ever (this will come in handy on this weekend's camping trip) peanut butter filled pretzels.

 

GREAT yarn: cotton soy blend!! I'm really excited, I've never worked with soy before.

 

Cool boxes! I love boxes :)

Aaand this:

 

Jan said she wanted me to have something that would keep me warm in the blizzards up north, and keep me from starving! So here we are: pretzles AND a headband!! But to avoid bird attacks I had to remove the pretzels :(

 

But gosh darn it, I look pretty dang cute in this :)

Thank you, thank you Jan!!

Found Blouse

I found this blouse on the ground (yes, the ground) and here you can see it folded in how I think I'm going to change it so that it is younger-looking:

 

I will update when it is finished :)
