AuburnChick's Adventures

Well, since I got such wonderful comments on my other projects, I thought I would post pictures of other things I’ve finished — especially since it’s going to be a while until I finish anything else since my classes started up again.

This was the first booga bag I ever made. It’s the Black Sheep Booga Bag pattern, and the yarn is the one recommended in the pattern — Noro Kureyon.

I loved the first one so much that I made another one! Noro Kureyon yarn again!

I really like making socks. The pattern is Chevron pattern from Sensational Knitted Socks. I do not remember what kind of yarn I used, but I know that I love these socks! They are so soft and not too thick.

This pattern is called Fan Lace from Sensational Knitted Socks. I tried two different bind offs, trying a new one from the More Sensational Socks book. The Picot bind-off was not easy, and it did not stretch as much as I wanted, so I went with a traditional bind-off the second time around. Oh, and these were my first toe-up socks. It was a bit hard at first, but I wound up loving it because I could try on the socks as I knit, which allowed me to size them better (although I did knit the first sock too large and had to completely frog it). Knitting these socks taught me the importance of gauge. 😉

These are my anklets, made with Lorna’s Laces yarn. The pattern came from a sock pattern leaflet I purchased at a chain craft store. For some reason, I found the pattern difficult. I don’t know why. I guess the easy ones are the ones that get you. Regardless, I just LOVE these socks! The sock is incredibly soft. I’ll probably make another pair with a different colorway of Lorna’s Laces that I purchased at the same time.

These were my first pair of knitted socks ever. It’s the Mock Cable pattern from Sensational Knitted Socks. The yarn is from Knit Picks. I’m not crazy about the color of the yarn, but the socks are functional.

These were washcloths I made for a couple of people I knew who were having babies. I found the patterns online, free of charge. The yarn was Patons Grace — too flimsy for the projects though.

This was a hat and booty set made for my daughter’s teacher, who had just adopted a baby. She was supposed to have a girl, but things changed at the last moment (after we had given her these items), and she became the proud mother of a boy! We all got a chuckle, and she gamely took a picture of her baby wearing the purple attire. She was a GREAT sport!

I made the same teacher this washcloth for the baby. It goes with the school theme. I was proud of this cloth. I don’t remember the yarn, but the pattern was free…online.
