$3 scarf and more

I found this pink yarn with a hint of black in it in one of my favourite stores (Dollarama). I bought three balls for $3.

It started off a little wrong. With 17 double stitches going to 15 double stitches, making the end slightly wider. So take the mistake and turn it into something that looks like it was purposely done. So the other end works its way to 17 stitches. It was going to be a gift but I've decided to keep it for myself.

Scarves are quite easy. I have found that 15-20 stitches across makes the scarves wide enough. Maybe make them two colours.... Sometimes change the stitching to make a pattern. This one has single stitching at the bottom, double stitching with the two colours and in the middle it has 6 rows of single stitching, 2 rows of double in the same colour.

Baby blankets

Posted by Picasa

This is one of two baby blankets that I created. It's a simple double stitch with three colours of yarn. It was a boy so the grey, blue and white. There is a two rows of single stitches surrrounding the whole blanket and a third on the top and bottom (I didn't have enough yarn to do the whole thing with the blue...).

The second blanket was pink and white. Again, just double stitches switching every second row until the blanket is big enough.

Good ole Stitch N' Bitch does it again with this anarchy hat.

My friend loved it! I think I'll make myself one once I've finished making gifts.

Skull Oven Mitts

Thanks to Stitch N' Bitches' Happy Hooker, I was able to create cool oven mitts for friends. I've created one for a friend's birthday and one set for my friend for christmas.

It's interesting to do this single stitch pattern. You have to make sure that are counting every stitch for it to come out right. It's a picture broken down into a grid. It is simply reversed on the other side.

Make sure you use 100% cotton or wool for the fire resistance.
