Some Recent Projects

Here are some pictures of the projects I've finished in the last couple weeks. From now onwards they'll be uploaded separately, but since I made these before I had a blog, I'm uploading in a batch for now.

First is a cell phone cozy I made. I just improvised a pattern as I went along, but it goes something like cast on 34 stitches, then alternate between knit and purl stitches to create kind of a fake cable stitch. Then I made a little rectangle for the bottom with just knit stitch, and sewed it all together with a darning needle. It holds together pretty nicely, and fits my phone well. It's also pretty soft, so it's fun to squish, too :p


Next is a bracelet I made with this pattern here. It's really easy to do, and is great for beginners.

This one's a little kitty I made up. I can't remember the pattern anymore for it because I didn't write it down as I went, but I'm going to remake it and try to make it look better, too. When I do, I'll make sure to write that one down.

And lastly is something I didn't knit, but painted/sculpted instead. This is what I did for my boyfriend's Valentine's Day present. It was pretty fun to make, but I think the eyes came out kind of scary :/ The doll is one of those Munny dolls that are preshaped and paintable, but the chocolate box is all hand-made by me from Sculpey.
