Why is it so scrolly on the bottom? Why is it so wide???? Why has the layout reset?!?!?!?! Oh crumbs. http://magicfingers.blogdrive.com/comments?id=58 http://magicfingers.blogdrive.com/archive/57.html Thu, 29 Dec 2005 12:42:49 GMT An attempt at stashbusting left me with this gorgeous, if slightly short, braided Rapunzel scarf. http://magicfingers.blogdrive.com/comments?id=57 http://magicfingers.blogdrive.com/archive/56.html Wed, 21 Dec 2005 16:17:48 GMT Here's what I sent to my swap partner for month 2 of the animal mail love swap. It's all knitted. 2 knitted cats A knitted bunny 2 knitted mice (for her cats) 2 mad pompom toys (for her cats) 2 knitted flowers, for a flower choker: http://magicfingers.blogdrive.com/comments?id=56 http://magicfingers.blogdrive.com/archive/55.html Sun, 18 Dec 2005 17:04:17 GMT More Christmas FOs. For my aunt (Ahee=aunt in Mandarin) who, if you've been following this blog, wrote me a HUGE list the moment she found out I could knit. These slippers took forever because I had to keep making them, measuring against her feel, frogging, reknitting, measuring, frogging etc. I actually knit them up in about 10 minutes. But as it was, it took about 5 months. Anyway, they're really warm and comfy, fuzzi felt was a great yarn to use. (Plus, it was half price.) I'm not modelling them as I don't want to stretch them out of shape. Ahee has feet 2 sizes smaller than...

Here's three... I frogged the boobholder because I was running out of yarn (booo!) and made a neckwarmer (and half a hat) instead. Pattern: Lovebite from woolgathered.com Yarn: some variagated pink & purple wool which I got in a swap <3 it was delicious! Mods: LOTS. I used bulky yarn, for a start, and different buttonhole method. Pattern notes: This was a very erratic and badly-written pattern, at least in my opinion. The design itself was really cute, but I had to practically re-write the instructions! I also...

Pattern: Airy Scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts Yarn: Rowan Kidsilk Haze Modifications: None, but I would make it MUCH longer in the future. As you can see, it's really short, and blocking wasn't much help in the length depatment. http://magicfingers.blogdrive.com/comments?id=53 http://magicfingers.blogdrive.com/archive/52.html Sat, 17 Dec 2005 13:43:49 GMT Red cabled hat for my godmother Emily. Pretty good for my first cables, hey? Pattern: Basic Cable // Stitch 'n Bitch Nation Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran. Modifications: Added a few more rounds of ribbing. http://magicfingers.blogdrive.com/comments?id=52 http://magicfingers.blogdrive.com/archive/51.html Sun, 11 Dec 2005 13:51:50 GMT It's my best friend's birthday next Saturday, so I made her this: http://magicfingers.blogdrive.com/comments?id=51 http://magicfingers.blogdrive.com/archive/50.html Fri, 09 Dec 2005 17:21:38 GMT I have decided that the solution to my wrists is simply not to knit anything for anyone else but myself ever again. Apart from maybe swaps, because I <3 my fellow craftsters. Woo! Got sent this in a swap: Isn't it delish? Pink, violet and dalk purple. Scrumdiddlyumptious! I got two balls; the first has been used to start.... I'm actually over halfway through. Doesn't look like it, though. http://magicfingers.blogdrive.com/comments?id=50
