Ok so a few weeks ago I was working on stuff for the first craft bazaar of the 2010 Relay for Life fund raiser. I'd taken pictures of everything before I sent it off but forgot to actually write the entry.
Ok so here it all is pined out to dry, the picture kind of reminds me of a bug collection, and all those poor little creatures impaled and placed on display for the delectation of others. Gah, what a macabre, wasteful, and depressing thought.
I also took individual pictures of everything...
1x1 rib black sock yarn held double along with ladder yarn.
garter stitch with Fun Fur.
1x1 rib with 6" fringe in Brazilia Pompon.
I actually used a pattern for this one it's Mary Jane Booties by Lucie Sinkler, though I didn't knit them flat like the pattern calls for.
These hats were also from a pattern it's the Sweet and Simple Baby Hat by Debbie Bodmer. I only did a row of the I-cord though so they have just a slight point.
The same pattern was also used on these hats, though they are in a smaller size & I actually made the little sprout like the pattern calls for, well mostly anyway, I didn't make mine long enough to tie a knot with. The booties and hats were all made with Tahki Cotton Classic.
Stocking knit made with cotton tape(I think).
These were a test knit item I finished back in March, and as far as I could tell the pattern worked fine but the designer still hasn't made it available, and as of today it's still listed as being in the test knit phase. I used Simply Soft on it, and have to say it was probably not a great choice.
I think I may have missed getting a picture of them once they were sewn together, the pattern is Double Nickles Wristwarmers by Jessica.
It was kinda sad that give up the warmers as they are made with a really interesting felt yarn. The texture was a bit on the rough side, but not itchy, and because it was felt there was no spring to the yarn other than what the stitch pattern lends to the item. I thought it was ideal for gloves and mittens because, I wouldn't expect it to stretch out much, or be as prone to snagging & getting damaged as a plied fiber.
I haven't really had any luck in finding more of it, and it was a de-stash item that most unfortunately didn't have a ballband so the manufacturer is a mystery. I tried asking the gal I got it from what it was but she couldn't remember because it had been on her stash for quite a while.
