Been getting lots of knitting done. Today I completed mittens for future sister-in-law's muppet Olive. I just wanted a simple mitten pattern so I used a christmas ornament mitten pattern and upped the needle size to my largest double points bamboo needles. They turned out really well. Unfortunately the muppet and owner were not in town this weekend as I previously thought so they are currently being cared for by Beaker :) Hopefully I'll have pictures soon of Olive decked out in her cool scarf and mitts 

My hat/headband (Calorimetry) is finished, as is my scarf that I've had stashed under my bed for a couple months. 

I've started working on a lace and cable scarf for my mom. She liked the last one but now that she has a short scarf she wants to wear it like one of her long scarves. She has asked for another one in any pattern I want to try out. This is my first adventure into lace. It has a rocky start but I think it will look really nice when its done. 

33mm Hat

I'm knitting this hat for my film student brother. I've been meaning to make it for him since I started to learn how to knit but the double knit thing scared me till I actually tried it. He is up in Thunder Bay and its getting very cold, he tells me :P so the double knit will be excellent for him. 

Its been one month and a day since I started it, I thought I finished this evening only to find it sits a little weird and its quite big. It looks pretty good as long as its not on someone's head :S 

Luckily I chose to make it out of real wool I picked up a few months ago... and since I don't think I can ruin it much more, there's no time like the present to try my hand at felting. If it comes out a bit too short I'm thinking of trying some ear flaps on it. 

Thus far I have put it in some warm water with a little bit of soap and agitation for a few minutes. Will wait for it to dry, and see how it is tomorrow.
