Sashay Ruffle Scarf

I recently finished knitting this ruffle scarf using sashay yarn for a friend of mine.  It's a late Christmas present.  I wasn't able to make 5 gifts on my list in time for Christmas, but its nice to be able to make them for the people after Christmas.  

Soda Tab Flowers

I made these two soda tab flower pins this week using crochet thread, size 3 crochet hook, 6 soda tabs / pull tabs each, and a pin back each.  Here is the website where I learned how to make them, however it doesn't really give you a pattern to follow.  I did 5 sc on each tab with the inside color, joined to form a loop, and then dec in all the stitches between the soda tabs.  I dc around for the petals.

Snake and White Woven Scarf

Last night I crochet this snake for a swap.  There are 3 pipe cleaners that have been twisted together inside of it's body.  I used puffy paint for his eyes.  I'm going to go back and sew in the tongue since a toddler most likely will be playing with him.  He is just under 13 inches long.  Here is the free pattern for it.

I also finished weaving this scarf yesterday.  It is 8 inches wide, and I forgot to measure how long it is.  I used sparkly white yarn (its hard to see the sparkles in these pictures) and gray/silver eyelash yarn.  I am donating it to my church for them to sell at their holiday fair in December.  I know it is really early, but we are trying to get people to make things for it all year long.

Pocket Monster

I've been working hard all week to finish knitting this monster with a pocket in time for the Quidditch mascot deadline today (for the Harry Potter Knit and Crochet House Cup aka HPKCHC - in ravelry).  I used puffy paint and a paintbrush for his mouth.  I'm mailing him off for charity next week.  I want to make another one for my son's birthday.  He likes dark blue, so I might use 2 shades of blue or blue and white (kind of nautical looking) for his.  I hope the soon to be owner of this monster likes him.

This is for charity: “The 600 Monsters Strong Foundation” strives to bring monster-friends for children affected by gun violence and other traumatic situations through the generosity of crafters worldwide.

Toilet Paper

I started knitting this roll of toilet paper last week, and finished it 2 days ago.  The paint dried on the face yesterday.  This is going to be a gag gift for my 5 year old for Valentine's Day, if I can wait that long to give it to him.  I'm going to put it on the toilet paper hanger the night before and wait and see what happens the next day.  I will be keeping the real roll close though, because I wouldn't want him using the knitted one, lol.  Here is the free pattern for it.  The pattern itself is really easy, thus making this easy to make while watching tv or talking with a friend.  I used Caron Simply Soft yarn in white and brown.  Then I used puffy paint for the face.  I needed to wet it and iron it to flatten it out, because the sides curled (due to the stockinette stitches).

Adventure Time Phone Cozy

I made this Jake the Dog phone cozy this week (from the cartoon Adventure Time).  It is a Valentine's Day gift for my oldest son.  Here is the free pattern for it.  It only took me 2 days to make it, but you could make it in one day.

Flower Coasters

I made these 4 flower coasters to match the hot pad that I made yesterday. 

Here is the free pattern for the coaster.
