It's me again, with new projects!

Hey it's my 6 month check in. It's been a busy couple of months with planning a wedding and everything. Here's some of the work that i got done in that time.

This first piece is a work in progress for my grandma. It's her favorite flower and her favorite colors so i really hope she likes it!

The color scheme, bright spring colors

The inner squares alternate colors

Adding the border in the lovely yellow

4 squares all complete

Going for 8 squares now

It isn't complete yet but it will be ready by Christmas!

The next was a birthday gift i made for my sweet cousin. I didn't use a pattern for it and i think it turned out pretty well!

The Owl Bag

Theses are brick stitch hats that i thought were super cute! 

With a brim

And without the brim

Lastly these are some of the projects going for Christmas. The fingerless gloves are my specialty that work up pretty fast. The shell stitch blanket will actually become a mermaid blanket for my lovely little sister as per her request.

Half Arm Fingerless Gloves

So taking time aside from the orders of hats and blankets i decided to knit myself some half arm fingerless gloves.

 My sleeves are normally rolled up to my arms for some reason and i decided that instead of just dealing with having my sleeves down (and driving me nuts) i would make these gloves. I custom made them to fit my arms by going inch by inch and measuring my arm then using my gauge. For the upper arm part i made it an inch less and then i kept the same amount of stitches from my middle arm down to the hand.

I took a different route on the thumbs and just did a bind off when i reach my desired amount of stitches.

All in all they turned out pretty fantastic and they only took me 5 hours to knit from measurements to binding off! My next project that involves gloves or socks i will try the two at once magic loop method. For now though im using these bad boys to keep me warm on my walks.
