New Wrist Warmers

I knitted a pair of wrist warmers for my critique partner. I followed the pattern I created for the last pair, but made the ribbing longer. I also used a thinner yarn to make them tighter.

Wrist Warmers

I knitted a pair of wrist warmers using yarn left over from my ruffled shirt!

First, I cast 30 stitches onto size 8 needles.

I made 7 rows of knit 2, purl 2 rib.

I made 24 rows of stockinette stitch.

I made 7 rows of knit 2, purl 2 rib again.

I sewed up the sides and left a space for the thumb hole.

Beaded Necklace

I found some old beads and decided to string them into a necklace I tried the string to jewelry clasps, and then added drops of glue to hold them in place.

Ruffled Shirt

I finished another knitting project. It's a ruffled top done in simple St stitch, with a crocheted border (which my mom did for me after my 10th time messing up). The border can be found here: http://store.vogueknitting.com/p-734-ruffled-top.aspx

Overall, I like the shirt, but I used the "large" pattern and it still came out too small. It was fast to complete, though, and I might make another sometime, and use slightly larger measurements.

Boucle Shrug

I finished knitting this sweater a while ago, but found it didn't fit well - too big. I tried it on again and decided to add lacing to the back. I used a snippet of "trellis" by Lion Brand and attached it with silver jump rings. It fits much better now. Too bad it's summer, haha. I'll have to wait for the weather to cool off before I get to wear it again.

Crochet Cap

Yes, I did it. I crocheted a cap. For those of you who know me, I hate crocheting. Too much counting, haha. I decided to buckle down, though, and try it for real. After many tries and a great deal of help from my mother, I completed the project. I used black yarn, since black is my favorite color, and to add a splash of radiance, I laced some rainbow yarn through the middle and tied a bow at the side. I also made it a little longer, because after I tried on the finished product, it felt weird.
