Aunty L's Wide Key-Hole Scarf

Wide Key-Hole Scarf
by Nichole Medley © 2008

I made this for my great aunt, whose neck is always cold, and who had her arm in a sling when I started this. I wanted it to be easy for her to get the end through the hole and not have it shift around while she wears it.

You can also download this pattern in .pdf format from ravelry, or from Scribd.

Updates

I promise to update once the holidays are past and things have calmed down.

I've had camera issues recently too, my camera doesn't take good close ups, we cant find my boyfriends camera (which I think has some kitting pics) and I can't get pictures off my camera phone at the moment.

So for now I leave you with

Madcutlass' {Knitting Pirate} and Randomness

I updated my logo last night, the pretty knitting pirate girl was done by the talented Laura O. A larger version of the art can be seen here.

You can check out more of her art at her DeviantArt Gallery. She also has a blog you can check out here.

In other news:

I finished a black key-hole scarf, and I am currently writing up the pattern. When I get it all typed up and, hopefully, nice looking, I'll post here and on ravelry.

Hope every one had a Happy Thanksgiving.

Gryffindor Sweater

I finally finished my Gryffindor sweater after almost 2(?) years on the 6th or 7th, it was my third knitting project.

I still have some finishing touches I need to do, like weaving in loose ends, and sewing the neck down. But it is wearable as is and I have been doing so. ^ ^

The sleeves ended up a little weird but it looks okay, had to do a little gather at the top of the shoulder to make the sleeve top fit.

((I'll add a picture here later, camera and sweater are not with me atm.))

Slippers

I completed a pair of slippers a few hours ago. Very east to knit up. The only thing that took time was getting the first slipper the right size by trial and error.

"A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything."


Think I found a new project to add to my queue.

Cat + Hat

Well I made another black hat with gray stripe, I added 8 stitches to the original 80, and fits nicely now.

Also made a cat toy with a bit of extra yarn we had lying around. Turned out pretty well.
