Here's Amber in her hat. I must admit I do enjoy working with fun fur. So far I haven't had to pay for it... wonder what will happen when I run out.
Doesn't she look adorable in it? I love the way the fun fur frames her face. I've also started a bit of loom knitting with the knifty knitter looms. I loomed a banana berry hat for Amber with a bit of fun fur in the rolled cuff (I hope to get a picture of her in it later). I'm currently looming a baby blanket in blue. I may be adding a sage green crochet edge to it afterward as the ends tend to curl a bit. Hmmm... tends to curl. We truely are knitting models of the universe. Reminds me of Kristi's mobius straps. Anyway, I was thinking. If you can do ribbing on a loom, and you can switch between two colours, then there's no reason you shouldn't be able to illusion knit on a loom, though the design would have to be quite large. Pretty cool, an optical illusion in a loom knit garment... worth a thought.
Well, I gave up on the Alphabet baby blanket, bit too complicated really, and decided to make a honey comb hat for Savanna. The bees were solid glass so I sewed on little yellow buttons and superglued the bees to them. I added a a little off white yarn to the very end (I was running out of yellow and I wanted more of a cuff) along with some white fun fur. I used the same combination to put a line of crochet along the bottom of the cuff. I think it turned out rather well.
And here are my little green booties. I showed them to the mother-to-be and she seemed pleased. I've started work on an alphabet baby blanket. Hopefully I'll have a pic of it in progress soon.
I love Amber's scarf so far, though you can see some of the texture here the picture doesn't do it justice.
Here's Kristi's project. A quiver to be felted and worn across the back. It's looking great so far. She's really inspired me to try felting something, not sure what yet...
