Beanie - Gryffindor Colors

Well, it looks like Gryffindor colors when you're holding it in your hand. With the flash it looks like a Cheesy Poofs hat:

Here it is without the flash, for a better idea of what it looks like:

Drawstring Bag - Finished!

The whole thing used the entire skein of "Marble" yarn. After I finished the main part of the bag, I chained the rest. I tried chaining that chain, but the result was too short, and I wound up folding it in half and tying knots roughly every six inches to make the handle.

What do you think?

New Project - Drawstring Bag

About halfway done here:

No real pattern to it, just made a circle and after five rounds I quit expanding. Three or four rows from the top there'll be a space every three stitches for the rope handle drawstring to go through. :)

Then yarn is Lion Brand Tweed Stripes, but is identical in feel and style to the Marble Yarn. (In fact, I got a skein of yarn identical to that marble yarn so I'm guessing they're from the same manufacturer and just called different things in different countries. :)

Rainbow Beanie - Medium Stripes

And this one is finished too, AND I worked out the kink about switching colors! :D

It's available here at my Etsy shop, along with the thin-striped rainbow hat!

Rainbow Beanie - Thin Stripes - Finished!

Best angle:

This side you can see some of the tie-offs on the side. I expect the next beanie--which will be medium stripes--to be better about visible tie-offs.

And here's me, modeling the hat. Unfortunately my camera is not good at sharp photos sans flash, which sucks for me because if I take a picture of myself using the flash, all you see is the big white spot on the mirror.

Oh, Balls. ;P

All the stuff from the last "stash" post, plus a whole bunch of Red Heart Super Saver yarn that I got on sale at Wally World. I love the richness of the colors, and I love the price even on non-sale days because cheap yarn is awesome for practice pieces. :)

Rainbow Beanie - Thin Stripes

Almost halfway in...

And my desk, overrun with balls.

Tee hee, balls. *is ten*

I love the rainbow pattern and it's not just the queer in me--though I'll definitely be making myself one to wear to Pride events once I get to New York!
