Harley Quinn Fingerless Gloves~

"Weee! Look at the pretties~!"

I decided to modify my design for the Harley fingerless gloves I made a year or two ago. I really like how they turned out! I used size 4 DPNs and these fit me perfectly, so for most other people they'd be a bit bigger. I've decided to sell these awesome geeky gloves in my shop!

The red yarn is a true red, not a dark red. This picture pretty closely captures it:

Pretty sweet, eh?

My own Mario hat!!

After making the Mario Transformation hat I got the bug to make my own version! I decided to make it Super Mario World-themed based on the fact that SMW is my jam, and it'd be awesome to speedrun it wearing a hat made just for that purpose. And now I can make versions to sell since it was completely my design! ^_^

My only qualm is that I haven't really made hats for other people so I'm not quite confident in my gauge. I used size 3 needles for the brim of the hat (which I ended up doing in 2x2 seed stitch and turned out looking wavy and interesting. I like it!), and then did the rest in size 5 circular, trying to keep the tension pretty tight.

This is how it turned out! I'd have pics of me wearing it but I got my wisdom teeth out on Friday and my face is really puffy still >_<

Thanks for reading!

Some long overdue scarf update pics

I knit one special scarf a year for a friend before I open the design up to make for others. Last year it was this Sailor Scarf for my amazing friend Courtney:

This year I'm working on a Mega Man scarf... shhhh don't tell!

I did one really cool custom scarf for someone last winter. I really enjoy custom projects; I wish more people would take me up on that!

Mario Transformation Hat wee!

I used this pattern to create the hat.

The first attempt ran quite large - it was even big for my boyfriend, and he has a big head. My knitting gauge is average, sometimes perhaps running on the tight side. Other people who have made this hat have made the same observations. So.

I love it, and have gotten a lot of compliments on it!

I will probably make a variation on the hat so that I can sell it in my etsy shop ^_^

It's a little big for me even now - if I made it again I would size down even more for the ribbing (I ALWAYS forget that I should do that!!). I already have a fantastic idea for a new hat. This one is stretchy and can fit anyone's head. I'll probably make it a gift and make myself a new one!!
