I want to show you some puppets I made some weeks ago - I was waiting to finish the collection (I mean cow, duck, rabbit) to post the pics, but now I´m working a lot in scarfs, mittens and winter stuff. So here they are, at least the farm boy, chick, pig, and the first attempt at making a horse.

OVERALL and SWEATER

To make the overall and the sweater I used the technique you can see on this pics. I started from the overall (Single Crochet), making a circumference, and I made the sweater making Single Crochet - pass hook over overall stitches to start the sweater.

Be careful not to pass the hook to the other side of the overall, as I accidentally did - can you see two white dots in the overall?

Horse puppet was a little more complicated, I´ll try to make another horse when I return to this project.

I think I´m obsessed whit Edgars… This is my third one and I hope the last one, at least for this winter. After trying with other patterns for scarfs, I always choose Edgar.

I had a very nice Malabrigo to make “Rainy day Scarf” (visit Ravelry or Yarndemon for the pattern). I was looking for a warm and easy project, so I started Rainy day (you have to knit 2, purl 2 basically).

As you can see, the “wavy effect” is not so clear - I think because of the yarn colors.

So I unmade this scarf and started with Edgar!

I´ll try Rainy day with a different yarn, ´cause it´s a nice pattern but not aproppiate for this yarn…

See ya!

I made another Edgar Scarf with this beautiful red color. I bought this yarn to make scarf, gloves and sweater, everything RED.

I started with the scarf - you can see the pattern on this post or visit Knitty.com.

I´m about to finish the gloves, and the sweater is growing slow because I start small proyects every week. I promise to post soon!

Hi, I´m back although the technical problem continue. But I can post again and in some days Arts and Crafts will be completely fine.

This weeks I knitted a lot, especially gloves and scarfs. I bought this wool (very cheap!) cause I wanted to knit gloves…

I confess I´d never knitted gloves before, so I search on Ravelry for an easy and nice pattern.  And this is what I found: Fetching (by Cheryl Niamath). You can find the pattern HERE.

The only thing that I modificate is the number of sts of the circumference (I co 35 instead of 45 - Knitty.com pattern - because my hand is really thin)

I just love them!

I want to tell you that I´ll post again ASAP; there´re some technical problems that needs to be solved and it doesn´t depend on me.
:(

See you!
