Hermione Hat for Me.

Note from Heather:  I found Janet's Hermione hat to be spectacular.  And I had the same yarn in my stash in a different color.  And I did read the first 5 books of the Harry Potter series.

More fingerless mitts, but for me!

Note from Janet: I love fingerless mitts, but I think this is the first pair I've actually made for myself! I got this yarn from my sister for Christmas and made these to go with my black fleece jacket for fall and warmer winter days. (huh? what are those?!?!) I've also been known to wear them in the house while I'm knitting :)  The colors got a little funny with the hand increases, but I still love the colors and the pattern, although I think I'll frog them to make them longer over my fingers. They just go to my knuckles now.

Love this yarn!

Note from Janet: I loved this yarn so much that it took me a year to make a hat, scarf, mitten set out of it. I know that sounds crazy, but I loved this hat pattern that was a lot of work, but I figured I might as well take the time to do it w/ this great yarn. The colors are perfect (2shades of gray and 2 shades of brown) for me, the neutral loving gal :)  I made the mittens next, from my trusty mitten pattern. It took me a while to find a scarf pattern that I loved to go with it and then I found the rib and cable scarf - 3 ribs and cable down the side. This is a great set that goes with anything - dressy, casual, white, cream, brown... It's my fav!!

crazy long fingerless mitts

Note from Janet: These truly are "fingerless" because you can hardly see my fingers in them!! I made my sister-in-law a regular size pair for Christmas and she LOVES them and wears them all the time. When we went running together one weekend, she was wearing them backwards, with the longer wrist part over her fingers! So when she requested another pair, I told her I'd make the fingers longer this time, and that they are!

Yep, I'm going to mosey in my legwarmers

Note from Janet: I wondered if I'd really wear these as I was making them, but they were too cute to not make! I finished them last fall and wore them once w/ a denim skirt, but they are pretty loose and kept sliding down my leg. They are perfect w/ jeans though! It's been such a snowy and sloppy winter, but they were wonderful on a freezing cold day!
