colorwork bad penny

what to do with pretty yarn?? so i've been obsessed with knitting sweaters recently...i made a wrap recently that i have yet to finish sewing up and a cardigan that i'm waiting on some yarn to finish...but in the meantime, i was contemplating what to do with this yarn...


here's what i decided on:



it's the bad penny pattern from knitty...just hoping i have enough of that aqua color to finish the whole thing!! if not, it'll be yellow ribbing on all the edges...

i'm really excited about this one, so let me know what you think!!!

maze patterned dress 2

dresses! woo hoo! so this one i finished a bit ago...it's the same as the pink and green maze patterned dress that i made before, but in turquoise and yellow and for the other girl's little sister...unfortunately, i didn't get to give it to her in person, so i don't have any pictures of the cutie pie wearing it...




here's a close up on the maze pattern...which is just a slip stitch and very easy to do!


this is a close up of the linen stitch straps...i really like the way the linen stitch looks...i think i'm going to have to try something larger with it...it seems to hold very well for straps also...

finally...this is a close up on the cutest buttons ever that i used!! i love buttons!!! don't you??

hats hats and more hats!

hats!! so i haven't been completely m.i.a., just haven't been posting my finished projects...so here's part of what i've done recently...

the first came at the request of a friend who wanted a hat that looked like condom...so here it is! i'm not sure if it resembles a nipple or a condom more...please vote!


this one is simple and striped...cotton blend yarn...


and these are for my revolutionary....i'm actually going to take out the one to the left and redo it...



and that's the hats!
