Funky Fluffy Scarf For My Mom

This is a scarf I made for my mom a LONG time ago. I didn't have pimples then. It was probably like two years ago or something. I used a blue fun fur yarn with another yarn that I'm pretty sure was called Softie. I just knitted for this scarf, no purling. I made it sixteen stitches long. The only problem is my mom never wears it!





Oh, bother..........doesn't she look like she is sighing.

Lacy Washcloth




This is a washcloth that I made from a blue and white cotton yarn. I found the pattern for it in a little knitting booklet thing called Knit Dishcloth Sampler. It took me a few weeks to finish it. As you can probably tell, I'm not the fastest of knitters. The cables were really fun to do and I love how they came out.

The only problem is that after I first washed it, it became this ugly super wide short thingy. It isn't as pretty as it used to be now, but oh well. I mean it's only a washcloth, right?

A Scarf For My Twin Sister




This is another scarf I have made from fun fur yarn. I made it for my sister Maddie. It took me so long to finish it because I kept picking it up for a few minutes and then I'd put it back down. I finally got so annoyed with it that I didn't stop knitting until it was done.

A Fluffy Scarf For My Aunt




I made this scarf for my Aunt Cindy, my mom's sister. I love the colors in it. She really likes fall colors so I thought I would use a yarn like this. I made it out of fun fur. I think it was sixteen stitches long. My aunt has worn it so much the ends of the yarn that I weaved in are starting to come out! At least that means she likes it.

Dog Poncho

Here is a little poncho that I made for my stuffed animal dog Muffin. It was really fun to make, and easy too. If the stuffed animal you are making it for is smaller, don't cast on as many stiches, don't knit the rectangle as long as you would, or use a thinner yarn. If the stuffed animal is bigger, then do the opposite.


To make the poncho you should use some bulky wool yarn on about a US 10 needle. All you do is cast on 20 stitches. Then, knit in garter stitch until the rectangle is about 11 inches long. Then you cast off.

Next, weave in the ends. Fold the long side over about 1 1/4 inches. Then, sew it together just like that.
