Christmas projects

Phew! It's been a long time since I last wrote! I'll try to update the blog more often as a New Year's resolution. I've been pretty busy this Christmas knitting away and I'd like to share some of the results:

I started off by making these fingerless mittens . They were really fun to make. There's some simple cable and a lovely wool bundle on the top. I got the pattern from Ravelry. It's called Wristful Thinking.

This is a great project for people who want to start with cables and are looking for an easy project. I used Katia Oxford.

I'm really happy with the results, they ar really warm and handy as your fingers are still free.



Another project I completed during the Christmas holiday was this shawlette:



This is the first shawl I have knitted and I followed a very easy pattern. It's basically stocking stitch with some nice eyelets which make it look lacy and nice. I love the yarn and how it changes color in a subtle way. I used Katia Darling.






Right now I'm working on a pinkish purple neck warmer. Hope I can finish it before school starts! :-)
