Legless Blue and White Squirrel



Sometimes you just feel like knitting a squirrel with no legs.
Ollie has already done his best to pull the eyes off, but I did snap a few pictures first.

Stripey Pointy Hat


No pattern for this one, just knit a couple squares and stitched them together. This was meant for Ollie, but he wouldn't keep it on. ;)

Green Double-Breasted Coat



Pattern from Vogue Knitting
Optional Closed or Open Collar

Black Fingerless Gloves

"Lacy" Vest

Rowan pattern, knit a few years back

Toddler Top/Dress

Update: Here are some pictures of the birthday girl in her new top.






More baby clothes! Here is a top/dress I made for my niece. It was mostly ad-libbed since I couldn't figure out the pattern I was trying to use! The sizing came out a little strange, but hopefully it will fit her. Oh, and it's not her birthday for another month, so Riley, if you're reading this, look away! It's supposed to be a surprise! ;)

Spring Green Newborn Dress

This was for my brand new niece who was just born yesterday! I hope she likes it. :)
The pattern came from Crafty Wee Wifey.

Green Hat

This pattern came from knittingdaily.com. This was my first attempt at double pointed needles! It's hard to see the snowflake-type pattern, but I thought it came out nice.

Mini Sweater Xmas Ornaments

Got this idea from berroco.com.

Purple Toddler Hat and Sweater

Another sweater for my niece, this time with a matching hat. I have yet to see her in it! I must demand photos. I got both patterns from just jussi. I used the Poppy hat pattern and the Riverstone sweater pattern.

Dog Toys

Some happy little dog toys based on a pattern from Rowan, the best knitting magazine ever.

Newsboy Style Hat

The lovely Aja models her new birthday hat. This was my take on a pattern I found on berroco.com.

Purses!

Knit Fox Stole


This is my take on a pattern I found on knitty.com.
This was a birthday present for my little sister, who is classy and fun enough that only a knitted fox stole would do!
*No animals were harmed in the making of this garment. ;)

Mother's Day Pot Holder

Just a simple pot holder. Mom was very happy.

Newborn Sweater

Alright, time to start posting some stuff from the past. This was a sweater I knitted for my niece when she was born. She is now two. This pattern came from an old issue of VOGUEknitting. I will try to find a picture of my niece actually wearing it. She is far more adorable than anything I could ever knit! :)
