Flirty Ruffled Fingerless Gloves

I just left one of my favorite knitting shops, Loopy Yarns.  I was inspired by the Malabrigo Twist yarn I purchased.  It is baby soft Merino Wool.  Oh Malabrigo, is there anything you can't do?  I don't think so.

I started knitting with this and am so enamored with the project, I had to share it before it was completed!  I just love the yummy color (it's called Tender) and the girly wrist ruffle.

Two Knit Toys in One (Bunny and Duck)

I love knitting toys.  They are usually quick and easy to knit for the instant gratification knitter like myself.

Here is an adorable mini-toy!  It is a reversible bunny and duck.  That's right.  It is actually two toys in one that can flip inside-out.  AWESOME!

 

You can knit this little guys in just a couple of hours.  Get the pattern for FREE, courtesy of Spud & Chloe!

Color Blocks and Stripes

This striped hat was a nice knit and easily finished in a day or two.

I used any worsted weight yarn I had on hand along with size 7 DPNs
and a size 7 circular needle.

The inspiration for this hat came from an old pattern I found for a similar
hat but it was done bottom-up.  I knit this hat top-down (my preference).

Knit this hat in colors of your choice. Get the pattern from Ravelry.com for $1.
