Yay! Well I didn't make it to the winning 12 photos for the calender, but it's very cool that 2 of my 3 entries made it to the Honorable Mention section!

The cute little brown cardigan

I finally finished this cute little brown cardigan! It is a tiny 1 month old size, but even though it was small, it took a while to knit. It wasn't the most motivating of patterns - you couldn't sew anything together until you had knitted all the pieces. Also I made it extra complicated for myself by using three balls of wool - two in the multi-brown, and one in cream. I had decided I wanted to do "two-rows pattern, one row cream" so that the cream stripe plus cream in the pattern wool gave a lighter overall effect. I think it's cute, and I'm giving it away this week!

Andrew's iPod cover

Andrew saw Dan's crocheted phone cover I made and wanted a custom made iPod cover for his birthday, so this is what I came up with. It features a hand hole at the bottom for the plug, plus a pocket on the front that fits earphones! I finished it off with a manly brown edging. iLike! I'll write up the pattern and put it on etsy soon.

Dinosaur pieces

The dinosaur I was so excited about ages ago has not been coming along very fast because other projects are more urgent, and also it's pretty boring to knit. It seems as though the pieces are designed from a sewing pattern and have probably been put into some program that automatically works out where to do the shaping. It doesn't appear to be the most logical knitting pattern, but I'm getting there. Theses pieces are the top and underbelly so i can sew them together and stuff it. At least then it will look like i'm getting somewhere.

Yellow and white baby hat

This one is for Preston's friend George's new sister!

My pink jersey

Remember my pink jersey being half completed? Well I went on a knitting spree and I finished it not long ago. Of course, now it's too hot to wear it...
