Some unfinished stuff

2011-12-26T07:56:00.001-08:00

I am making a vest for Henri. It is almost done. Just have to put this fabric to the other side and make button holes and put buttons and he wanted some snowflakes also on it:)

Here is a blanket what I am making. It will take me some time to finish and it takes quite a lot of yarn. I usually can finish two squares with one skein of yarn of each color. I am using Lion brand yarn for this and I just made up the pattern.

Mittens

2010-12-01T08:20:00.000-08:00

I just remembered that I can take photos with the laptop camera. Here are the mittens I made. The calendar has to wait until the cable comes since all the numbers are reversed with laptop camera.

2010-11-28T12:47:00.001-08:00

I can't post any pictures for some time since I lost the cable to transfer photos from the camera to the computer. I bought one thing from the store but it didn't work. So I might have to order it online and hopefully will be able to show some photos after next week.
I have finished two pairs of mittens and some ornaments, snowflakes and just finished the christmas calendar. You can see the pattern for it in HERE
