Knitting, etc.

Buggy little scarf

So, I finished the second keyhole scarf. I have to admit, I think I like the other one I made better, although this one is nice as well. This one definitely used more yarn since it is ribbed and I think it would have been better if I had made the keyhole slit horizontally as I did in my last one instead of vertically. Also, I didn't really bind off like I was supposed to, so you can see the bottom is a little wavy. Well, live and learn...

The important thing is that it will be warm, and cute...and it's all for me. :)

Rowan cork keyhole scarf

This scarf was knit in Rowan cork--the best yarn I have used so far. 95% merino wool and 5% nylon. I love the scarf already. It's comfy cozy. :)

I sent this scarf to Seung-ho's mom on Monday as a Chuseok present (Korean harvest festival). It was hard to give it up, but I managed. I am making a scarf out of the green yarn for myself now. I had originally planned it as a gift for someone else, but decided that not everyone would like that color green.

Kaitlyn's birthday purse. Finished!!

Kaitlyn's cute little birthday purse is finished. Well, except for a lining I should probably put in it. Her birthday is October 17th, so I am way ahead of schedule. I think the butterfly button adds a fun touch.

I started and ripped out this project about 4 times before I got an acceptable start on it. I am so happy it is finished. I hate Lion Brand Homespun!!! I will never knit with it again...even if it did only cost $3.75 for the skein on sale. (Anyone want the part that's left? I think it's about half the skein!)

The pattern is on this page.
