I made the Amanda Hat [pdf] for Nichelle. The yarn is Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice 100% acrylic in Kelly Green (172) and it was knit on US 9 needles.

Fetus’ 1st Christmas Ornament
I made this ornament for a pregnant friend whose mother-in-law is already buying “Baby’s 1st Christmas” things, even though the baby isn’t due until March. I found the graphic online and altered it a little bit while turning it into a usable chart.

Merry Christmas Ornament
I finally learned how to cross stitch so that I could make some Christmas ornaments. Here is my first one, from 101 Christmas Minis Book 2 by Holly DeFount (Leisure Arts 2535).

Robot Blanket
I made this Robot Blanket (based on the Robot Hat) for Owen. The yarn is Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice 100% acrylic in Kelly Green (172), Espresso (127), and Beige (123). It was knit on US 9 needles. I duplicate stitched the robots on instead of knitting them in because it presents a slightly neater back with less loops for little fingers to get stuck in.

Sewing Screen
This sewing screen was made to match one my mom has that her grandfather and aunt helped her make when she was little. My dad made me the frame for Christmas and my mom helped me put together the background and pockets. Then I had to eat lots of jelly to get those empty jars but it’s finally completely finished.

Ancient Greek Tunic
I made Butterick B4572 A for a Seven Deadly Sins themed costume party. I went as Bacchus for gluttony. Crepe-back satin and all notions are from JoAnn’s. I made it a little longer than called for and added a liner.

Baby Yoda Sweater
I made the Baby Yoda Sweater [pdf] for a friend’s baby that will arrive in March. It was knit from Mission Falls 1824 Cotton 100% cotton in color #303 on US 6 needles. The size is 0-6 months. I changed the inside ties to crochet chains instead of i-cords since I thought the cords would be too bulky.
