The "Abby" Beanie

Another "Ruffled" Beanie.

This is just like The "Serene" Beanie but with a pom pom. This is called The "Abby" beanie, well, because I visualize someone named "Abby" wearing it. LOL.

Again, the "ruffled" part of the beanie is made using a basic cable stitch.

The "Serene" Beanie

 This particular (blue) beanie was knitted over a year ago, I just never got around to taking pictures until about a month and a half ago. I call this beanie "Serene" because the first person I ever made this beanie for (besides myself) was my co-worker whose middle name is Serine. I knitted hers about three to four months ago- hers was a maroon colored one, which I wish I took a picture of. :/

I used a cable needle to achieve the "ruffled" design. Honestly, it was a straight forward basic cable stitch pattern- very easy to do!

Anyway, I am still not over how the How I Met Your Mother series ended. I would rant about it here, but that will just get me more upset. Just search #HIMYMFinale on Twitter, all the negative reviews you read will pretty much sum up how I feel. It's like the Sookie Stackhouse novels debacle again! Ugh. I can't... I just can't.

Studded Slouch Camo Beanie

Because I loved the last (studded) beanie I knitted so much, I decided to make another version. For this one, I decided to use pyramid studs instead of the random ones I used on my last one. I figured since I will be selling these, I need to use studs that I will have an easier time acquiring. For the last beanie, I pretty much just used studs collected throughout the last couple of years.

 
This Studded Slouch Camo Beanie will be available in two sizes - XS/SM and MD/LG. The studs are available in 3 colors - gold, silver and gunmetal, which are the ones on the beanie I was wearing in the picture. Please visit www.charmed.etsy.com if interested.

The studs are available in gold, silver, and gunmetal.

Studded Slouch Beanie

This has got to be my favorite beanie at the moment... after the Loki Beanie, of course! :)

It is so me- studs, skulls and all! I am thinking of adding them to my etsy store, but I am probably going to use different studs. Right now, I am still working on stocking up my store so I have been knitting non-stop. 

I am also thinking of adding stitch markers to my inventory...

Bows and skulls, of course! LOL. These can fit up to US 15 (10 mm)needles... What do you think? Should I start selling them too?

The Hulk Beanie

 
I made this beanie back in late November (2013). I never got around to taking decent photos though. I made it for a "Superhero/Villain" themed party that my sisters and I "hosted" (inside joke). LOL. My sister, Peejay, was The Hulk. My other sister, Phoebe was Spider-Man. I, of course, was Loki. Duh.

I actually went back and forth between being Loki and Thor, much like my personality... Good v. Evil. :)

Toadette Beanie

Another "girly" beanie! I made this Toadette Beanie for one of my closest friends (more like a sister), Lyssa. This is actually a very late Christmas present. She had requested that I make her this beanie over a year ago, and of course, because I am the Queen of Procrastination, I only got around to making it now.

I made this beanie using a combination of knitting and crocheting. Originally, I was going to attach the (ball) pigtails to the beanie, but my sister, Phoebe, pointed out that Lyssa may have only wanted a Toadette inspired beanie (just the pink with the white spots), and not an actual Toadette-looking headpiece. Since this was to be a gift, I couldn't really ask Lyssa without giving the surprise away, so I decided to make the pigtails detachable. That way, it can be worn as a plain beanie/beret, or it can be worn as a whole piece- pigtails and all!

 

I have yet to give this to her, but I am too happy with the end results, and way too excited that I have the need to post the pictures. Since I do no think that she reads my blog, I figured it was safe to post here first. I'll post it on the other social media platforms after I give it to her. I hope she likes it. :)

P.S. - Photos were taken by my sister, Phoebe. Thank you! :)

Knitted Fingerless Gloves (Magic Loop Method)

  

Needle Size: US 6 (4 mm) Addi Turbo Circular Needles (29 inches)

Yarn Weight: Worsted / 10 ply ( 9 wpi )

This was knitted using the Magic Loop Method, which I prefer over double pointed needles any day. I was originally knitting gloves for the husband, but it was too small, so now they are mine. :)

I actually finished this last week, but I never got around to taking pictures. This project took me longer than planned due to my friend, procrastination, visiting. But if I really focused, I could definitely knit a pair of gloves in a couple of hours. Right now, in addition to other projects and orders, I am currently working on another pair for him. Hopefully, going up a needle size would work fit/size-wise. We shall see, I guess...
