Knit..Knit..Knit

Saturday, October 3, 2009

I have fallen madly in love with knitting these fingerless gloves! It's a fast, instant gratification sort of project and the color combos are endless. With that thought in mind, I wrote to the designer last week about making a couple of pairs and selling them. She was thrilled to know that I loved her pattern that much and she gave her consent! For right now, I'm only planning on making a couple of pairs to throw on the Hellions merch booth. I've also got a couple of derby girls dying to get a pair that are in team colors. So I cast a pair on.. Here's what they look like prior to seaming:

My seaming needs ALOT of work so I'm taking them to Trumpet Hill tomorrow for a lesson. I'll post pictures when they are finally complete.

Also, fresh off the needles.. The Jeckyl and Hyde hat:

This was knitted up for my Tim Burton Swap partner. I hope she likes it! The pattern was easy to knit up but, should I make it again, I think I'm going to shorten it abit. It just seemed a little too long to be able to roll up nicely.

On the note of the Tim Burton swap, look at all the goodies I got yesterday!

Great package, eh?! I'm particularly happy with the blood choker! It's too cute!

Next on the knitting needles:

1. Another pair of fingerless gloves - Bright pink bottom and neon green body.
2. And this little hat. It's too cute.
