Christmas Knits; Part 2

It is after Christmas and I am still working on Christmas knits. :) I think it is pretty common among knitters.. especially disorganized ones such as myself. I am happy to say though that I only have two more to go! 
First I want to show you some that have already received their gifts :)
Mrs. Judy was really pleased with her zebra colored ruffle scarf :)

Both Aunt Frances and Cousin Karen seemed happy with their cowls. The white one is my own pattern that I made up; I will write up a post on it soon. The beige one is the Drop It! Cowl by Ellen Kapusniak; pattern can be purchased through her website Knitti Politi
Kerstin was also happy with her new Ninja Kitty hat. I didn't really follow a pattern here, just looked at a bunch of pictures for how to do cat ears and then went and knit it :)
Konrad was happy with this hat even though it wasn't exactly what he asked for.. I will have to make him another one soon, but for now he will be warm and stylish in this lovely hat.

These knits are all nestled in a bag waiting to be given out. We are having our Christmas party with mom on Thursday evening, so most will be going to their new homes then.



Black half ribbed hat, I made this for one of the guys on my list.

Sort of slouchy Camo hat, another for one of the guys on the list.

I knit this kitty hat for one of my little great-nieces. My daughter Korina crocheted the eyes for me :)

I created this pattern and it is named Midnight in Georgia.. mostly because that is when and where I thought of it ;) I am giving this one to one of my nieces and making another one in different colors for another niece. Pattern will be posted soon!

Another view of the Elliekit hat and the little cupcake amigurumi I knit based on my Cuppycake pattern.

Here we have two knits waiting on notions.. 

Please excuse my disheveled appearance.. we have been busy remodeling, painting, and wrapping up Christmas and 2012 so here I am in my work short modeling not quite done knits.. This headband/earwarmer is for my mom. It has a simple cable design. I just need a couple of buttons for the back so that she doesn't have to go around holding it on her head as I am doing.
I knit these for my grandma. I still need to add buttons to the top and puffy paint on the bottoms to make them slip proof. I  mostly followed the Parkspin slipper pattern. I meant to follow it exactly but got a bit sidetracked at our last knitting group.

These are my Christmas present to myself from me and my inlaws :) They gave me some money and one of the things I bought was this lovely alpaca/bamboo blend yarn. My hands have been really cold lately so I knit myself some handwarmers and these really do the trick! They are super soft and very warm. Now my mom-in-law wants a pair so I get to make them again ;)


Lovely yarn and a nice pattern.. what more could you ask for? :) This pattern is the Leftover Mitts pattern from Belatedly Tangled. And the yarn I used is Classic Elite Yarns Mountaintop Chalet in Chestnut.
