Knit Christmas

Hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas, and that Santa brought you everything you hoped for. As for myself, I got several great knitting related gifts. My sister Sarah gave me a Knitpickers tote and my mom got me the accompanying needle case. I also got the Knifty Knitter long loom set . I know, I know; the looms aren’t really knitting in the traditional sense. But they just work so great for simple scarves and hats. I’ve already started a scarf for myself.

Lastly, my husband got me the Weekend Knitting book. I’m pretty excited about trying the fingerless gloves on the cover. I have no idea when I’ll be able to actually start those, though. It could be awhile since I’m already working on a scarf, a jacket, and a bag.

Where’s Waldo Hat

Done on the Knifty Knitter yellow loom, to fit my sister’s giant head of hair. I used Caron’s Simply Soft in white and red. I’ve only used the green loom for hats before, so when I first started I thought this was going to end up ginormous. But with the stretchy-ness of the yarn, it fit quite well without being too snug.

Lame pun ahead! Looks like this project was just right way to cap off a Halloween costume.

Grandma Slips!

Check out my latest project – grandma slippers! So named because they remind me of the slippers my grandma used to knit me. She probably didn’t have a wicked awesome Knifty Knitter, though.
