Twisted Seedling:Fingerless Mitts.

I've been wanting to tell you about these fingerless mitts for a few days now but wanted to wait untill I had the pattern hook up done. Hook up is now done and I can finally, finally share my glee.

I designed a pair of fingerless mitts and I love them. They're made from Sirdar Click Chunky and are doing a great job at keeping my hands warm. I used 4.5mmDPNs and they were finished the day I started them.

Although I originally designed them because I find other gloves/mitt patterns are large on me (even the smallest size) according to my sister-in-law they fit her great and her hands are quite a bit larger than mine.
It's probably not a great pattern, written or otherwise but it's my first and I love it (like a small child LOL). I've a free PDF available here, if you do make them I'd so love to see a picture if you wouldn't mind sharing.

My first ever knitted bag.

This was one of the first things I ever knitted. I was just doing a sample of the stitch but it screamed to be made into a bag. So after a little thought and planning this is what I came up with. It's lined and held stiff with thick cardboard( bad choice looking back). But I was pleased as I'd never come up with my own design before (okay it's real simple but still, it's mine). As you can see I'm uploading pictures of the things I've been working on for the last few years. I'll update the posts as well with details of the designs.

New Year knit 2

This is the scarf I made to go with the Drops hat. I didn't follow a pattern just made it up as I went along.

Youngest likes both items (fell asleep in the hat on New Year LOL)
