Toys and Gifts - it's "make stuff for people you like" time again!
Gifts for:
kitty ear wearing, manga loving teenager
mum
friendly coworker
friend
First up:
Snowme by Alan Dart. The link is to the pattern on his own website, mine is made from the pattern in Simply Knitting magazine.
Knit in Sirdar Snowflake Chunky on 4mm needles, with the accessories & nose in scraps of King Cole Superwash DK wool.
Teenaged Duckling, from The Duck Family in Jean Greenhowe's Knitted Animals.
Gift for a teenager. It's hard to give a duckling angst, though. The duckling was knit in Bernat Satin, in yellow, with the hat & beak in scrap yarn. The pompom & hat "ears" are in remnant sock yarn.
Noro Striped Mittens... birthday present
These do NOT go with the Noro Striped Scarf I made prior. They are also fraternal twin mittens. I still like them, though. Noro Kureyon 100% wool, 2 colourways, no idea which.
Simple scarf: SWS in Natural Geranium, Broken Rib pattern. Gift for a coworker who REALLY likes pink. Scarf is about 6' long, and took 2 balls.
