Kindle Fire Cozy

 Here's my latest project... a cover for my Kindle Fire:

I used theCabled Kindle Sleeve pattern by haramis design and used smaller needles so it would be snug enough to leave the flap and button off.  It's pretty darn tight, so I don't think I really needed to go down a size in needles, but it does the job and I'm sure it will stretch out some.  The pattern suggested using Judy’s Magic Cast-On... I had never heard of it, but it's awesome! I love it when patterns teach me new techniques.  Overall, I'm very satisfied and my Kindle is cozy.

Thank You!

I just wanted to post a quick THANK YOU to those who donated money to help Mason get to Chicago.  It was such a fantastic opportunity!  We hope to be able to go again someday.

Green Leaf Headband

I am all about running headbands to keep my ears warm in the winter.  Here's another one I just finished:

I used Adrienne Krey's Blue Leaf Headband pattern.
  It's an extremely quick and easy knit.

Koolhaas

 I've been meaning to make myself a Koolhaas since the first time I spied the pattern on Ravelry.  I've also been in need of a cute running hat.  I decided the Koolhaas would be that hat.  So, although this hat was intended for me, I didn't have the internet handy while I was working on it and started the decreases too soon making the hat a tad too small for me... and Enoch, the lucky recipient of the Kool that is the Koolhaas.
Let's be honest... there is no chance I could look this cute in it. 

 

Scarf

I made a Chunky Braided Scarf, by Jimenita to go along with my Bella Mittens.  I love the look of this scarf!

Ribby Hats

I made these cute hats for Christmas using Elena Nodel's Fancy Ribby Hat pattern and modifying it to be large enough for my girls. They turned out great!

My Jogging Headband

I've been trying to run outside, but it's cold!! So, I finally made myself a Morning Walk Headband, by Tif Matthews. More projects to come soon. I've been knitting again. Yea!

Quick, easy, and great for running in!
