Knitting And Things

Here's Santa!

2005-11-26T20:33:00.000-08:00

I found this pattern for a stuffed Santa and I thought I'd try it. He turned out very cute (except next time I need to pin the arms before I sew them on; they're hanging a little low).

Christmas!!!

This is the set of stockings I knit last Christmas. I think they turned out really cute!

Here's me at the Giants game (against the Dodgers and we won!) with my Giants purse. Brian said I looked like I was going trick or treating!

These are the fingerless gloves and hat I made to wear in London. I loved the gloves and wore them quite a bit. (The hat...not so much!)

This is my very first felted bag. I know it's a little silly that it is going up long after all of the other bags!

Here's the up close picture of one of the hearts!

This is the baby blanket I made for my cousin's baby girl, Elizabeth. I made it awhile ago, but I'm just now getting around to putting up the picture!

Go Giants Purse

2005-04-12T11:13:00.002-07:00

This is my first ever design. I had to chart out the SF and knit it four times before it came out right. I thought the fun fur at the top gave it a little something extra. I am making an Angels bag (hey, I moved to Southern California and I cannot root for the Dodgers and so I go to a lot of Angels' games!) I am changing the pattern to be more like the Sophie bag. I am knitting the bottom and then knitting in the round. I also think I am going to do fabric straps instead of store-bought handles so it will be more handy at the games. Look for the finished product to be posted soon!

I love these extra thin scarves. I think they are perfect for spring!

I love the way this purse turned out!

This is like the brownish purse. Don't know what happened. Here's the link of what it is supposed to look like: http://www.joann.com/content/projects/projectsDisplay.jhtml?articlePath=/content/projects/static/new/knitted_felt_purse.jhtml&CATID=25293

Sophie Bag

This turned out a lot bigger than I expected. I used the pattern from Magknits. Here's the link: http://www.magknits.com/warm04/patterns/sophie.htm It took a lot longer than expected too- much longer than the buttonhole purses.

This was my first bag made from strips of fabric. I like the way the metallic fabric frays. I found the pattern on knitty.com and I think it is called "Tinsel". I just think it is perfect for a fancier dress!

Partitioned Purse

2005-04-12T10:55:00.001-07:00

This was a fun and quick little bag. It has the partition down the middle which is nice. I also like the strap on this one (I was getting sick of doing I-cords!)

Buttonhole Bag

2005-04-12T10:54:00.001-07:00

So, after my green buttonhole, I decided to get a little more creative with my colors. I love the way this one turned out. I also changed the handles a bit so they came out bigger (much better for everyday use!)

Brownish Purse That Wouldn't Felt

2005-04-12T10:51:00.000-07:00

This was supposed to look like the purse on Joanns.com, but that just didn't happen! No matter what I did it would not felt. The yarn is half wool half acrylic and the wool is supposed to felt and choke the acrylic. Oh, well...

Green Buttonhole Purse

2005-04-12T10:50:00.000-07:00

This was my first buttonhole purse. It turned out a little small, but I still loved it! For those who don't have a link to this pattern, here it is: http://www.masondixonknitting.com/archives/2005_01.html

Hi! Welcome to my blog. My name is Melissa. I am an avid knitter and decided I need to at least get pictures of my works before I give them away. I have been knitting since I was seven years old, off and on. Thank you for visiting my blog!
