Scrap Yarn

Getting rid of more scrap yarn...And I found the cutest pattern EVAR at ATERG Crochet's Etsy shop!  Who doesn't need a wee owl to keep company with??  ;)

Lowland Originals has a quick and easy shawl/wrap pattern to use up some of that leftover sock yarn you have lurking about...It's here.  You could totally make this out of worsted scraps as well, for when it's really chilly out.

I love how she's encorporated buttons into this little decoration.  Perfect for a kid's room, or your art room!

SHEEP PILLOW.

Um...Patterns I Love???

Yeah.  Totally not making this one.   :O

Great way to use up some of that bag of acrylic your cousin got for you at Goodwill "because you knit, right?"

I bet these could be prettied up a bit with some ribbon and pressed into service as holders for notions, makeup (washable, so yay!), or almost anything!

It's starting to get colder, so I am embarking on my yearly search for the perfect slouchy hat pattern...Look at this!

So cute!  So cute!!

This one is close to perfect!  Free Rav download too, you can't go wrong with that.  :D

Dalek Chart

I don't really have the Mad Knitting Skillz for colorwork, though this would go great on a hat or for a pair of awesome geek mittens.  I think I might need to do it as a framed cross stitch though...Evil Black Dalek for the kitchen wall?  Yuss!

EXTERMINATE!

Sheer genius.

Procreating ungulants, indeed!  :D

OK, so I may have mentioned before that I am The World's Worst Knitter, and the thought of trying lace just scares the bejeezus out of me, but this shawl's little bit of lacy edging might just be a possibility...

Whatcha Doin'?

In spite of the crappy cellphone picture, I am quite proud of this:

From a Michaels pattern book, done in Bernat Softee Baby, and I finished it the very day the baby was born!  :D

Rav Patterns I Love

I am totally in love with this pattern from Knit Cat's Blog...

 

I have been keeping my eyes peeled for quick, simple patterns to use up some of the handspun I've got just lying around the house, and this is perfect!  I think I might do it flat and seam it, simply because I don't have the circs, and money's a little tight this semester, but it should work out fine.
