Tech knits

Tonight we open Company! But before that, we had a lot of time in the theatre doing tech. Which means, I had a lot of time to knit. I made:

A pumpkin hat:

An apple hat:

A cat-like cowl:

Things I made in tech.

 

Now on to the show, happy opening!

Cat Cowl

I found this fuzzy, bulky skein of yarn in my stash the other day and whipped it up into a cowl. That's 15 stitches on size 15 needles, just straight garter stitch and sewn together to form a circle.

I think the yarn looks like a nice fuzzy tabby cat!

Quick n easy project and hey, one less skein in my stash :)

Kensington Craft Fair 2015

Well that was fun! Saturday was the Kensginton Craft Fair. Here's my table, all set up:

It was freezing in the gym! They had some kind of heat problem, so I stayed huddled against the wall. Here's my view.

I had some visitors, of course.

This one liked my minions!

And this one liked the mini marshmallows in the hot chocolate!

This cowl scarf was my best seller. I made a whole bunch of them and only 2 remain, including this green one.

So it was a lot a successful day and a lot of fun too :)

IKEA visit

We went to Ikea for breakfast - it cost $1. But I added on some heart-shaped waffles because, why not, they were too cute!

I also picked up a dress form to display my loom cowl scarves. I think the hanging birdies in the back approve.

Yellow brick cowl

I finally finished making something out of this yarn! I just love the colour, it's perfect for sprain.

I used a stitch pattern from a great book I have. I'll hopefully write out the pattern later. It curled a lot right off the needles, but a nice wet blocking got most of the curl out. I love it!

Loom Scarves

I've been hard at work with my loom again.

Making scarves:

And more scarves!

Green cowl

I'm back to knitting on the loom. It's so FAST and EASY! Here's a green cowl I whipped up.

I added a little wrap around band and a nice big button.

So cozy!
