Knit: Sage Colored Cowl
This is my first knitted cowl! I used Caron yarn for this since it was really soft and breathable. I'm not too experienced with knitting so I got this done in a couple of days. Crochet is definitely something I'm much quicker with. I think the length of the cowl ended up being close to 10 inches long. Now I'll love to move onto doing an infinity scarf next!

Amigurumi: Panda Octopus
I'm really happy with this design! I wanted to mix an octopus with other animals for awhile so I started with a panda bear since I thought it would be super cute. Soon I'll make this in other colors like blue and pink.
I even took him out for a drive :)12.02.2011
Knit: Simple Bows
I decided to make these cute knit bows using the pattern from Knitted Fox Trot! I just put a bobby pin through it to secure it onto my hair. The pink bow is a crocheted one for funsies.
Oh! My hair is faded SFX Pimpin Purple if you're wondering. :)
Feel free to pin :)
Materials:
-Vanna's Choice yarn
-Scrap tiny yarn probably: fingering/sock/baby.
Hooks:
-I(or H) for the actual slipper
-G if you need a snug fit around & the back of the heel.
-10 (1.15mm) for the white circle button.
Follow the pattern for a US 7-7.5 fit.
People have said this pattern is too loose, try a smaller hook!

Latest Crochet Projects
I made a triangle scarf awhile back and suddenly got the idea to make a strawberry/watermelon version of it! I used leftover yarn so I'm not sure what brand I used. The pictures aren't great since my walls are a dark purple and it blocks decent lighting.
Edit: I put up a pattern for the Watermelon Scarf
I also made some octopuses! I don't have safety eyes yet so I used beads and buttons.
