Embroidered Hoodie


I embroidered this hoodie for my stepdaughter for her birthday. I found a peace sign graphic and digitized it with my Digitizer Pro software. It turned out well for the most part.

Another Kids' Club Skirt


I made a Kids' Club Skirt for my daughter that I had started before she was born. I finally got around to finishing it. It was supposed to be a size 12 months, but I think it'll fit her until she's 3 because the waist stretches so much. I just used acrylic and eyelash yarns from my stash since it'll get a lot of wear and tear and will need to be washed frequently. I really like the color combination.

Scrubbies


I made these scrubbie face cloths for my SIL. She really enjoyed the first one I made for her a few years ago. I somehow lost the pattern and couldn't find it again even though it was a free internet pattern. Fortunately, my neighbor located her copy again so I was able to make 3 more in no time flat.

Transformers Hat with Charted Autobot Symbol





I'm really having fun knitting basic hats and adding a charted design with duplicate stitch. This time it's an Autobot symbol hat that I created for my son. He loves Transformers! He was quite happy that I finished his hat now that winter is approaching.






I've included the chart I used below in case anyone else wants to create an Autobot hat. I'll probably type up the simple hat pattern soon I've been using for these hats so that others can create these hats, too.

Colts Baby Hat with Charted Horseshoe


I had previously knit a Colts hat for my brother last year. Now that he has a son, I wanted to knit him a hat, too. Since a 12 month old's hat would be way too small for the original chart, I decided to go back to the drawing board and design a smaller horseshoe.




I knit this hat in the round, and used duplicate stitch to add the smaller horseshoe just like I did with the original hat. Since the hat is a gift, I tried it on my daughter's head to make sure it fit properly. I think it turned out well, so I've included this littler charted horseshoe, too.
