Library Capelet

This is a free pattern from Lion Brand Yarn Company. I used most of 2 skeins of Lion Brand Homespun and size US 10 1/2 29 inch circular needles. It was easy to knit. The first few rows are in seed stitch (k1 p1 and then you knit the purls and purl the knits in other rows) and then do stockinette stitch (alternating knit row and purl row). I would like to put a shawl pin on it. 

Owl Boot Cuffs

I just finished the Owl Boot Cuffs. This was a free pattern on Ravelry. Once I figured out the pattern, they were quite easy to knit. I used Annabel Fox Chunky Donegal yarn and US 9 16 inch circular needles.

My First Fingerless Mittens

 
I knitted my first pair of fingerless mittens. This is a free pattern on Craftsy. This pattern had me knit in two colors. I used your basic acrylic yarn and size US 8 10 inch straight needles. These were easy because you knitted flat and seamed them up leaving a "thumb" hole. My seaming needs a little work. Of course, I knitted them in "Giant" Orange and Black!

Highland Gauntlets

This is a free pattern from Lion Brand Yarn Company. I learned to make a thumb gusset. It is an easy pattern and will quick to make two gauntlets. I used Lion Brand Heartland, the color is glacier Bay. yarn and size US 8 10 inch straight needles.

After making these gauntlets, I am ready to learn to make an actual thumb on fingerless mitts.

Two Heats as One Dishcloth

I knitted this from the Knitting Calendar 2014. I used Lily Sugar n' Cream cotton and size US 7 10 inch straight needles. I like to knit dishclothes, it is a good way to practice new stitches. It is like doing big swatches.

Honeycomb Cable Dishcloth

This pattern is from the Knitting Calendar 2014. I used Lily Sugar n' Cream Cotton in yellow and size US 8 10 inch straight needles.
