I knit Willow up some leg warmers, because I was bored and wanted to do something that would be real quick.
Once the leg warmers were done, I figured she needed a matching headband.
Flash Dance anyone???

Merry Cables
I just finished this cabled scarf this evening, my last Christmas present that I needed to finish! Wahooo!!!! Now, I can start on maybe some socks or something or maybe work on the blanket I was knitting for Willow before I decided to knit all my Christmas presents.
This pattern came from the Knit Noel book.

More Christmas Gifts!
I've finished some more Christmas presents!
One more thing I finished up this morning was this hat for my father-in-law. Jayden decided he'd like to be my model, after he saw how much fun the balloon was having. :)
First we have some slippers for my dad. My track record for slippers for my dad is very bad. For some reason, I cannot knit slippers that will fit his feet. I have tried pattern after pattern, I've even created my own. I'm starting to think my dad has freaky shaped feet. Now let me clarify, this is actually pair #2 that I have knit up for him for this Christmas. I figured while he was living in my house, I would knit a pair of slippers for him so he could try them on every step of the way. The first pair was going along swimmingly until I got to the cuff. Dad likes them nice and tight around the ankle so they won't stretch out and fall off. Well, I made the cuff a little too small and he couldn't wedge his feet in them (wierd shaped feet, I tell you), so now I have a lovely pair of green slippers to keep my feet warm. But here are the ones he'll get for Christmas, hopefully this pair will work!
Next up, we have some wristlets for my favorite rocker in the family. These are so fast and easy to knit up, he may get a few more of them than what is in the picture, in his present!
Here's my super easy pattern:
Using sock yarn, or fingerling weight yarn and size 4 dpns
Cast on 42 sts
Divide over 3 needles and join into a round
K3, P3 around for 2" or however big you want it
Bind off in pattern
