My first full fair isle project! I knit about 5ft, and stitched the two ends together to create an infinity scarf. The design is my own, though the method was inspired by VeryPink Knits’ Color My Cowl project.I made this flip book in response to some trouble I had reading my complicated 1-page diagram. I’m happy to replicate such a book for anyone who commissions a pattern!I was commissioned to knit another fair isle scarf based in the pattern above. My customer chose some stunning colours to go together: dark teal and golden straw.A Hello Kitty toque for my niece! Lots of fun to knit his one!Tardis mittens! Are they bigger on the inside?The palms of the Tardis mittens: no self respecting Doctor leaves their Tardis without a trusty sonic screwdriver or a banana!Tardis Mittens, round 2! The customer loved their pair so much, they ordered more for the whole family! Clockwise from top left: Fourth Doctor with Jelly Babies, Eleventh Doctor with a Fez, Twelfth Doctor with Jammy Dodgers, and Ninth/Tenth Doctor with Cassandra. (The photo was taken before they were blocked)This commission was amazing to create! The yarn was delicious to work with, and gave a cheerful shine to the finished mittens. (It’s 100% acrylic – unfortunately I can’t remember the brand – I’m not a yarn snob: I’ll work within budgets and find the softest, prettiest, or best colour for the job!)I made these mittens for my niece (the originators of the rainbow design), and unfortunately the photo was taken after delivery… they’ve been well loved, well fuzzed, and soon to be replaced since her little hands are growing up so fast!)A WIP shot of a slip case I created for an iPhone5.This pattern is the only item in the portfolio that is NOT my original design. FuzzyJay shared it on Blogspot a while ago (click the image for the link). I’m sharing my piece because I think it’s a beautiful pattern! This WIP is a sampler I made from cotton Bernat yarn, and it was my first attempt at the pattern (and the first time learning many of the stitches required to construct the piece).I love how flexible knitting can be! This “S” was part of a banner I started. Perfect for children’s bedrooms, or personalizing pillows, blankets, and more!My cat Dexter loves my knitting more than I do, I think! He made a bed out of a sweater I made (for myself!) *The main reason I haven’t shared a picture of the sweater is because it’s not finished yet: I sometimes get ‘second sock syndrom’ with pieces I make for myself: I’ve had a hard time completing the second sleeve!
