Office mitts

The fingerless mitts I made for the office staff are finished and gifted.  The pattern was developed from a combination of a few glove, mitten, and fingerless mitt patterns I found so it’s more or less original.

The tan and olive green striped ones turned out better than I imagined.  I like how the stripes go from dark to light with the navy first then the dark heather green and finally to the olive.  Subtle but noticeable.

I think they all coordinate well with the hats I gifted last year.

Gift idea for mother-to-be

Looking for a useful but unique gift for a new mom or mother-to-be?  Make some burp cloths.

I made these a few weeks ago for Mr. Aitch’s niece who’s expecting her first baby in February.  I used a few different prints and coordianted them with the baby bedding.

The tutorial is on my tutorial page.  You can make two out of one  yard of flannel or get creative and use two ro more coordinating prints and solids.  My original ones were made out of leftover pieces of flannel as well as some cut up flannel sheets and even a few of Mr. Aitch’s too-small-but-still-good flannel shirts.  Just make sure you pre-shrink the flannel as it will shrink…A LOT!!  I can’t stress that enough.  Pre-shrink!!

Cupcake hats

I’ve been working on these for a couple of weeks and finally got around to photographing them.  I think I still want to add some sparkle with small beads.

The bobbles are different.  The pink hat has half the amount of bobbles as the purple hat.  Too much time elapsed between making them and I didn’t remember how I placed them.

They will fit the twins and I don’t have any small heads to model them so you will have to use your imagination.  If I’m lucky, I’ll get some pictures of them wearing the hats.

Cupcake Pattern: Chile Con Yarne

Cherry on top: Cherries are the Bomb

Yarn: stuff from my stash.  Lion Brand tan heather for the ribbing, Caron  Simply Soft Strawberry for the pink hat, Red Heart Super Saver Lavender for the purple hat, Lion Brand dark green heather for the cherry stems, and some unidentified red yarn for the cherries.  I over stuffed the cherries but I’m not removing any.
