Thigh-High leg warmers

Yesterday I decided to finally restart on a pattern I fell in love with in last years vogues knit-1 magazine called the



thigh-high leg warmers. i had orginally tried to do them on the circular needles but I was knitting too tightly on them. I decided to go to Mary Maxim and pick myself up some Bernat softee chunky to try them again.

I am using 5.5mm double pointed needles for this project and it's actually turning out pretty good :)

here's what the project looks like right now



I"ll post up the finished product when it is done :)

Big Baby Alpaca With a Twist

On Thursday December 27th 2007 I went to Romni Wools Boxing day sale. Everything that they had on stock was 25% off. One of the yarns I bought was Big Baby Alpaca. I decided that since Christmas was over I was going to make myself something (Or maybe a few things)

I just finished making myself an ear flap hat. I Kind of modified the pattern a bit because I was using 7mm 16" Circular needles + 7mm Double pointed needles.

Here's the finished outcome of the hat.





It's a little big for me so I may take it apart and decrease the top of it a big more so the ear flaps don't go all the way down to my chin.

I used a pattern called "Camo EarFlap hat which you can find on here

My whole adventure for knitted projects started in October when my cousin Emilia and I went to Michael's to choose some yarn. I had already started making William's oldest sister's christmas present from a vogue knitting magazine.

We went to Michaels on Mavis and Matheson (5935 Mavis Rd) to pick out some yarns by Lion Brand. They had a 2 for $10 sale on most selected yarns.

On Christmas eve I finally got to give my knitted presents to Khristine, Damaris and Emilia.

For Emilia and Khristine's mittens (the ones in red and white) I used a pattern called easy holiday mittens. I found it on http://knittingpatterncentral.com/directory/mittens_gloves.php

Emilia's mittens (the white ones) was the first pair of mitts I ever made.

The green mittens Damaris is wearing was my most excited pair of mitts I ever made. My friend Gillian told me about a pattern she uses and I think I'm going to use them for more mitts to make :)

The pattern is called Warmest Mittens
