Randoms

Here are a few projects I've never thrown up because I forgot to-


Ignore the HORRIBLE coloring in these pics of the bag. I made it for a friend for Christmas, and the red is actually GORGEOUS.






Pokemon wristband. I have made several of these, each a little different as I try different techniques for how to get all three colors to look nice and even together:



<3 Wristband. I thought it was cute!


A Cactuar wristband. I wanted to see how it would look to try to make one! I'd definitely not give this to anyone - it came out very large and kinda sloppy, but it was a fun experiment.

And finally, a Link KNITTED CARD I made for Courtney. It was SUPER fun. It was my first attempt at double-knitting, and I made sure to keep the two sides separate save for the edges so that I could successfully duplicate stitch it. I didn't take a pic of the inside because it wasn't as cool as the front and back of the "card."



Currently I'm working on Knive's scarf from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. It's a little over 5 feet at the moment and soooo cute! ignore the ends that haven't been weaved in yet:

Bag for my Suzi

So, that meme thing went around where you had to make something for someone and they had to make something for you. I chose this bag simply because I immediately thought of it when my dear friend Suzi replied. Although she's trying to expand her knitting herself, she can suck it and enjoy the gift!


It was easy and fun, and in the second 2 pictures the bag is comfortably holding 2 skeins of Caron Simply Soft.

Pattern found here.

I used the first pattern, made in Caron Simply Soft on knitpicks options size 7 circulars (although the beginning was knit on size 6 DPNs because I have no 7's). In making more bags I will alter the stitches so the pattern is k5p2 instead of k5p1 because the ribbing really doesn't show, and that's rather annoying. I also knit the drawstrings in i-cord because I didn't want to just braid or twist yarn. Plus, i-cord is stretchy and durable :)
