A few FOs and a couple WIPs!

I'm making good on my post about keeping up with my posts and my knitting and I have a couple of FOs and a couple of WIPs to show off.

Firstly, here's a better picture of my Mother of Dragons shrug:

Secondly, I spun a beautiful new skin of yarn using some merino wool that a friend of mine picked up on a trip she took. I call it, Cream in my Coffee.

And finally, with Giftmas approaching, I have things to knit for little kids. I have three little girls and one little boy for whom to knit.  I am making three different ragdolls, one for each girl, and a ragdoll puppy dog for the little boy.

Here is the first doll:

And, of course, the cat had to check her out, too.

More posts, soon! T'is the season to knit things, so a-knitting I shall go!

Many FOs!

Well, another several months and another several projects to report on.  It would seem the last time I updated was after I finished the hoodie sweater for my son.   Much has been done, since.

Here are a few pictures of some of the projects I've done since the fall.

FO - Grumpasaurus

I had some yarn left over from the armwarmers I made a couple weeks ago, so I decided to make a Grumpasaurus for the guy who dyed the yarn and sold it to me.  He goes to my SnB and he's pretty fun... plus he collects little dinosaur figures at his work desk. Why not? it's a few hours to do and I'll probably have nothing other to do with the leftovers than make mitred squares.

 

Castle Crasher

Finished another little project. I used some of my leftover cotton yarn and decided to make the red knight from Castle Crashers.

FO - Man Eating Beast

This was a lot easier than I had anticipated. The only problem I ran into was finding eyeballs for it. There are NONE in Toronto. I looked at Michael's, local knitting and sewing stores, Zellers, Walmart, and even a make your own teddy bear store. None of them had safety eyes. Luckily, a small business in Thunder Bay sells them. I feel good for supporting them, plus I got the eyeballs I needed!
