FOs up the yin-yang

Isn't it funny how you might type something in a blog that you would never, ever say in real life? Wouldn't you think it would be the opposite? Like that title, for example. If I heard someone say that, I might punch them. Anyhow, on to the knits.

I actually finished this scarf quite a while back, but I haven't had a chance to photograph it.




Good thing I waited, huh? Because those are such great photographs (bleh).

Pattern: My so-called scarf
Needles: 10s
Yarn: Malabrigo in Stonchat (1 skein)
Notes: I knew that I had to make this scarf because I loved My So-Called Life. (Did you know you can watch some old episodes on YouTube? Hop on over there and see. Remember? Remember the pain?) That show was everything I needed at the angst-ridden age of 15 years old. Claire Danes and her scrunchy-up pre-crying face? Seriously, girl, I feel your pain. As for the pattern, it's fun. I liked it. The scarf didn't come out as long as I would like, but I am not going to lengthen it, so there. The yarn is super-soft and awesome, although perhaps not best suited for this particular pattern.

I finished these up too.




Pattern: Snickets (I can't seem to find a link for these, but if you are on Ravelry, it's easy enough to get. If you are not on Ravelry, then what's wrong with you??)
Needles: 1s
Yarn: Knitpicks Risata in Burgundy
Notes: Remember when I was bitching about the holey heels before? Well, I won't repeat myself. This pattern is pretty fun. At first, I thought, who could possibly maintain such a complicated pattern for as long as two whole socks?? But I got used to it and they came out pretty good. I think a lighter color would have highlighted the pattern better. So, maybe next time.

I finished these Matrix mittens a while back too. Love them, but they need a little more work still. One is longer than the other (not sure how that happened...) and I want to change the thumbs to a solid color. Here's the semi-finished products though.

Rawr!




And, last but not least, I finished knitting up the felted clogs for my mom's birthday.

The cats think, Are these kitty houses?

The obligatory wow-look-at-how-big-these-are-before-you-felt-them picture.

I will try to felt them tonight. (Fingers crossed).
