Scarves

Scarves and stuffed animals for the Not-Nieces-Because-They're-Cousins. I was actually pretty amazed how well they matched since I bought the yarn and the animals separately. The scarves are made of Lily Sugar & Cream variegated yarns.

This is the One-Hour-Scarf, a pattern I found on Ravelry. I probably shouldn't have used such bulky yarn (I used Softee Chunky) because it uses three strands held together. Its really pretty, but it is definitely warm. Probably just a little too warm for the San Diego climate.

I call this the Seahawk Peacock Scarf. I made it for the 2011 Pay-It-Forward gift exchange. It's one of my favorite scarves because it's simple and fast, but looks gorgeous.

Afghans Take Forever!

I made this lapghan for my Grandma for Christmas. It's based on the Carson City Baby Afghan pattern, using Loops and Threads Impeccable Big! yarn.

And this is the Carson City Baby afghan I made for my friend Sarah's baby. I modified it a bit because the pattern makes an insanely small afghan. I made this one with Lion Brand Baby's First yarn. It's super soft and really big, which makes for quick work, but it splits pretty easily and hiding ends on this afghan was a nightmare.

New Year, New Blog

So, I've had a blog over on a different blog site (cough:wordpress:cough) but it seems like more of the blogs I interact with are on blogger/blogspot, so it's easier to connect and follow them by jumping ship. So, to blogger/blogspot I jump. I'm really really going to post stuff here, and not let this fabulous blog just sit there taking up server space like the other blog. I promise. ;) Of course, it'll take me a bit to get used to this place. Everything's so blue and easy...I'm confused. So, forgive me for looking rather bland and un-hip at the moment. I'm under construction.
