Skulls

I made a couple of skulls from scraps of yarn, top one was a free pattern, I'm not impressed with how the jaw is lopsided, as is the skull. Also, one eyebrow is thicker then the other as you have to slip stitch to get to the end.

The second one I based off an item that was sold on etsy, it had embroidered eyes, I just used a sharpie and winged it. Again the jaw is lopsided.

V stitch shawl

I made a simple v stitch shawl/cover up. I used ice yarn again! DK weight, 3 different shades. I love ice yarn, it's my new favourite. I have a thing for variegated yarn, and they do loads! In packs of 4 too.

I haven't edged it, can't decide whether to do so or not. It has quite a soft, flowing drape at the moment, and I don't want to lose that.

Baby mittens

I made a set of baby mittens for our little girl, expecting her towards the end of January! Made with ice yarn, DK weight. 

It was a free pattern that said to use worsted weight, but mine ended up the same size and I followed the pattern exactly. I'm thinking of connecting the 2 together with a chain once she is born to go through coat sleeves as it will be winter when she arrives.

Home poncho

I finally finished my poncho, it's a bit of a short one, but rather warm. At first it was made with leftovers, odds and sods, then the 2nd half was made with some Ice Yarn. All done in DK.

Kittens and crochet

On the bed you can see a kitten. Behind her is a crochet cat nest which I made for her and her sister. They lie on it sometimes, not in it.
