Big Lacy Scarves

I just finished up a couple more Christmas presents.  These scarves came out of the More Last Minute Knitted Gifts book, and thanks to the big bulky yarn, each only took a few hours from start to finish.

 

Now, excuse me as I get back to finishing up a couple more knitted presents.  :)

Willow's Doll

This doll turned out so cute!  It knit up really fast, and I wasn't so sure I was going to love it, until I searched about in my scrap yarn and found this yarn to make curly hair!

 

I made this out of the Knitted Toys book, which scrap Cashmerino yarn.  I used the body of the Airy Fairy pattern and then knitted the dress from the Dress-Up Dolly pattern.

Cabled Fingerless Gloves

I have a gift exchange coming up next week, so I quickly knit up this pair of cabled fingerless gloves.  They took longer than I wanted because I screwed up the cables on both gloves and had to start over! Booo!   I'm sure it was because I know how much knitting I have left to get done before Christmas and I didn't feel like I had time to start over.  But I did start over and thanks to doing the cable pattern so many times, they went much faster the second time. 

At first, I wasn't really liking these gloves because of how long the cuff is, but I've put them on a few times and I have to say it's growing on me, I just might have to knit myself a pair!

 

These were made out of the More Last Minute Knitted Gifts book.
