Happy New Year..

Not much going on as far as knitting... there is very little progress on my striped noro scarf.. I'm over the half way mark and I've been working on it forever.. I've been squeezing in a row here and there..hopefully it will be done some time in the next year which is tomorrow hahah..
In the mean time.. Have a Happy New years celebration.. drive safely.. (^_^)

boy beanie!!

Just finished this boy beanie that will be an after Christmas present for my nephew. I used lion brand cotton ease again.. and again I really like how this yarn crochets..its soft and has some memory and just a nice feel about it... I like how this beanie turned out and now I might make a few more for all the guys that have to endure the cold weather this winter.. I mean the guys that I know.. not ALL the guys in the world.. that would take the rest of my life!!

I finished these fluffy mittens.. they were a very last minute gift and were very fast to crochet. The thumb is knit.. I think a knit thumb is softer and more flexible then a crochet thumb.. I also added a little knit ribbing to the bottom edge to keep the cold air out.















Here are some nice yarnie presents I received for Christmas... and ooooo I love bamboo.. there is over 400 yards of bamboo goodness.. I'll be digging through some patterns and checking out ravelry for something nice to knit..
This yarn came as an extra bonus.. not sure what I will make with it.. there is only 50 yards per skein.. It might have to be use as an accent or edging on.. lets see .. maybe a shrug..!!!

Scenes of Christmas... beautifully wrapped presents..( mini knitted sweaters)... A Christmas tree .. many presents underneath....oops unfinished Christmas knitting.. I guess that has become a tradition too.. Have a wonderful Christmas day.. everyone.. (^_^)

Such cute tiny sweater ornaments... which I didn't make.. these were made by my daughter Brooke and I thought they were so cute .. I wanted to share them.. she is giving them as gifts and hanging some on the tree..

ginGeR cooKiEs!!

Holiday treats!!! specially made ginger bread people came in the mail yesterday.. so yummy.. thank you so much!!!
















A quicky present.. and I mean quicky...this was a requested hat from the game Metroid. It's crocheted made with lion brand cotton ease. The cotton ease is very nice to crochet with.. I have knit with it before but this was the first time I made a crochet project with it.. I think its my favorite yarn for crochet now..















Here is another view.. (^_^)
And here..... sadly is an unfinished Christmas present that I'm still working on every chance I get. Unfortunately it has to be mailed.. so it wont get there on time for Christmas as like a few other presents.. oh well...














I just wanted to share a few projects real fast before I ran off to work.. (^_^)
