Projects

The Stardust Cloth Shoe is probably my favorite pattern at the moment. There are LOTS of other patterns (cute ones too), but I love this one because it stays on!

I also decided to crank out some matching hair clips (yo-yos, scraps, and buttons). One of these days I'm going to try Heather Bailey's scrap flowers...guess I'm just waiting for the right scraps to come along :)

Petite Scarf

I had some leftover yarn from the sweater, so I made another petite scarf. I actually created a few scarflets/neckwarmers for Christmas gifts, but I failed to get pictures of them since I had to get them in the mail pronto.

To give you an idea, here are some of the other patterns I used:

And the local yarn shop, Yarn Explosion, is my new favorite stop for beautiful yarn.

Ribbed Jacket



I've made a wearable item! Sadly, although it looks like it fits like a charm on my oldest, it's a bit short...so it's a good thing I have a smaller daughter who will be able to wear it for a bit!

Since I'm a beginner knitter, this pattern was great for me because it is knit in one piece. I originally found the pattern on ravelry.com, but here's a link to the page with the downloadable pattern.

With all the sales going on I bought more yarn (whoot!) so there's more projects in the works :)
