A Couple Of Things

Hi everyone! My name is Amy, and I just joined up to the KAL here. I think that Last Minute Knitted Gifts is probably my favorite knitting book, and I seem to be knitting a lot from it lately.

Well, I'll start off with some pictures, both FO and WIP.

Here are the Fingerless Gloves, in Ultra Alpaca. There's only one in the photo, because I was taking pics myself.




Here are two pics of the Knitted Gift Bag. The finished one is in Plymouth Alpaca, and the WIP is in Cascade Indulgence. These are so quick and easy ... I just may have to make a few more.






And, finally, the humble start for The Hourglass Sweater. I'm using cotton instead of wool, so we'll see how that turns out.

More Cotton Hats

I can't get enough of this pattern! I made three more last week: And here is one of them in use. It is such a quick, interesting pattern- easy, but not boring, and looks absolutely adorable on. Case in point:

Children's Cotton Hat

I made two cotton hats from leftover yarn I had at home. They are for recently born twins- a girl and a boy- so I made the smallest size. I really like this pattern- it is a lot of fun to knit.

Hourglass Sweater

Has anyone made the hourglass sweater? I want to buy the yarn to make it as my first sweater. Does anyone know if it fits well, or anything like that?

Thanks!

Angora Baby Booties

Here is my second knitted item from the book, made with Bouton d'Or Angora Imperial.

Mini Sweaters

I am planning on knitting mini sweaters for my uncles as Christmas presents. I am going to knit the sweaters in white or green and embroider their initials on it. I think that they will love the present. I am going to make hangers out of pipe cleaners so they can hang them on the Christmas tree! This way it will be faster to knit then scarves!

Last night I got a totally awesome camera that is really expensive. However, it was a gift so I did not have to buy it. My parents gave it to me as a present for making the National Junior Honors Society!!!!!!!

Children's Cotton Hat

Hi! I'm laptitelili, I'm French, and the Children's Cotton Hat is my first knit from the book Last Minute Knitted Gift. I used a dicontinued yarn of Bergère de France (Cotonature), and I omited to do the I-cord, because the hat is a gift for a little boy. It was indeed really fast to knit!
