Trey's Mitten - Update

So since its Trey's bday, and I suffer from SSS or SMS as the case may be haha, I decided to start his mittens today - the cuff is SOOOOO cute - it looks really small but its VERY stretchy. I'm thinking its gonna work.



UPDATE: Trey's first mitten is done. The cuff turned out very well - definitely my best cuff to date. :-) He hasn't put it on yet, but I'm sure it will fit fine.

Sydney's Mittens

Mittens #1 (Last row of increases before moving thumb to holder.) The bottom isn't really all screwy like it looks in the picture, I had to put the 2nd needle across the mitten to keep it from curling up. [And I know you love my polka-dotted scarf!]



UPDATE: I personalized them for her - my first Fair Isle stiches!!



UPDATE: OMG! I knew they were big as I was making them... but wow - they fit ME and they are soooooo long. The pattern I used SUCKED!! I think I realize where the error was made though, I think the cuff should have been about an inch longer and this would have cut down on the hand length some. IDK if I should frog it or just let it be... *sigh* hate a wasted evening like this! I'm not even sure she'll wear them. We'll just have to see in the morning, err well, in a few hours considering its 2am. But anyway - I just hope I can duplicate the error in the next mitten ><.

Finally!!!

This is Trey's sock. This particular one is the 1st one I made and its actually wrong, but you can't see it in the picture. I accidentally made the foot of the sock 20rows instead of 16rows so this sock is about an inch longer than the other one, but he doesn't care. And the 2nd pic is my Cascade Fixation sock (and my very first sock on dpns). It is MUCH smaller than I'd hoped. I made it for Syd, but while making it realized that it would never fit, so thought I'd make it for Ally... well, it barely fits her either but she plays with it anyway. Notice how the cuff is so big? I'm trying to solve that problem on the current sock I'm knitting but we'll see how that goes. (Yup, you guess it, only one made so far...)



Ally's mitten. (No, I haven't knitted the 2nd one yet - I can't find my sz8 needles ANYWHERE...) I just love this cute little baby bootie. (It also uses the sz8 needles that I can't find, so there is only 1 made so far)... (I suffer from SSS severely lol).



The next two are of Syd's sweater. It's a WIP, but I have had to put it down for a few weeks because I've screwed up part of it and frogging an inch or so isn't appealing to me right now so I'm trying to think of a way to hide the error without frogging. Unfortunately each time I grab the sweater I stress out about it so it's on hold. The stitch is called something like "stacked blocks" but its hard to see in the photos.



This is Ally's fuzzy hat, she adores this hat, its just so "her"! :-)
And this is the hat I crocheted last night, cute huh?? Maybe not as cute as my AC/DC hat I got for $5 at Wal-Mart, but still very cute. :-) It's kind of hard to really see his hat in the picture because of all the open areas.



Last but not least and totally OT, but this is Athena, our Rottweiler, with my super cute AC/DC hat (and somehow my toe...) LOL
