It turned out to be a 70 inch scarf. Took me three weeks to finish (I didn't work on it everyday, though). So, anyway. Here is the finished product.

I made it with a whole skein of 100% Merino wool yarn my fiance bought me for Christmas. I love the yarn it's so soft. Expensive but soooooo worth it. If you have very sensitive skin like I do, Merino Wool is the way to go people! Please comment.

So you're not exactly a knitting novice. But you're not exactly an expert either. The perks to being an intermediate knitter is that you are at the point where you know you can knit, the hardest part ( learning) is over, and you still maintain an appreciation for harder patterns.One problem the intermediate knitter also commonly comes across is learning yarn and its abilities/attributes/expectations. I myself fall in this intermediate knitter category. I still have major problems with gauge and yarn types. Perhaps it's all because of all the "yarn boom" we've experienced since the 90's. There's just way too many different yarn types to choose from, which can honestly cause some frustration as well as confusion.<div>So on my quest to find the ultimate yarn book I </div><div>have finally, finally, finally found the book of yarn life. It is an absolute must must must. Meet ( and buy at Amazon.com) <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Knitters-Book-Yarn-Ultimate-Choosing/dp/0307352161/ref=sr_1_25?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1249424901&sr=1-25">The Knitters Book of Yarn: The Ultimate Guide to Choosing, Using and Enjoying Yarn (Hardcover)</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><img style="display:block;

She is a wonderful woman from California, with 6 kids, nieces and nephews. She made an Alchemy request for 15 different children's hats: 9 knitted baby bonnets, and 6 crocheted visor hats with detachable flowers of different colors. (She also asked for a crocheted clothing line of which I will post here soon. It's really neat). It's been a bit tough trying to find the colors close to what she wants, but so far it's been a good experience...I'll be posting pictures up as I make them so get ready for more posts! :)<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;">Flour Sac Hat <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggqTBSwenbHkYdRYfhoUaL8wRE7gmAnE71sT4WmhOB29EyJqRZEFItY6kFIJIewI5P-XMPJWdCMJ758Oq2kaEFrCNGTTN4z518lKrJsluljsblzho-6n1gh_IvYIEwSVPsm5FLeEXMjaPj/s320/IMG_0009.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306214368334583762" /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYYLdoB4g0a0HByUsFGRUqxevM0wUgiuKHd03Y244LrXMop_8G7OdASzHPPdFxlKMcFOEtSA-_1m8RTtdpE9TcFwcm41nHAUtU7m93GHCukEJVK5hFQmocBtWgEM8gC3nT8ISaY0l02FHW/s320/IMG_0007.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306214358683515458" /> Pixie Hat<br /></div></div>Thumbelynahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01717888426329817755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386039507220787755.post-89151034232333536602009-02-07T03:40:00.003-05:002009-02-07T03:51:42.733-05:00Amazing...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghMeFi152rQ-XRNkpZXVIkElAt2JDXxVuyGOoXQFOr0W9VeXRrdKA2kDNXlZ80RIp1cST89f5_Gn6UvDZAoxOxbPJa6ZMkOfGIUuiuGLTIdfy2wLFg4DnC9b4cscaWYcaQg4PBdaFbWlS_/s1600-h/il_fullxfull.17311198.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghMeFi152rQ-XRNkpZXVIkElAt2JDXxVuyGOoXQFOr0W9VeXRrdKA2kDNXlZ80RIp1cST89f5_Gn6UvDZAoxOxbPJa6ZMkOfGIUuiuGLTIdfy2wLFg4DnC9b4cscaWYcaQg4PBdaFbWlS_/s400/il_fullxfull.17311198.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299972967928785778" /></a><br />Wow...just...wow...

He's a bit of a stale looking fellow, however, underneath the leather exterior hides some pretty humorously soggy interior that just takes some probing to discover. I'm still thinking about making it for him. If not I could always amuse myself with it instead...me thinks. I'm guessing the designer made the thing for his or her child since the pattern holds the title of <a href="http://kimberlychapman.com/crafts/knit-patterns-dna.html">Baby's First DNA Model</a> (Yes, the link is connected to the pattern).Thumbelynahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01717888426329817755noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386039507220787755.post-49594404758164045152009-02-05T23:03:00.007-05:002009-02-05T23:16:31.239-05:00Knitted Hellboy Plush Toy...I found this on a blog on which the author was actually dissing crocheting. The post was entitled "13 things not to crochet". The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Hellboy</span> toy, however, is not crocheted, but knitted. The blogger apparently does not, or can not, tell the difference. Whatever...Who cares, right? Knitting and crocheting are both awesome!

It's called Drops Design by Garn Studio, and it has a plethora of FREE patterns. I couldn't believe it at first but all of the patterns are free. Plus the patterns are nicely designed, not at all like the crappy ones you find when googling for free patterns ( well, most of them anyways). It's an incredible sites for women's, men's, children's, and miscellaneous patterns. I'm so excited about it I've already bookmarked over 2 dozen patterns. Yeah! There are just so many patterns! :::swoons::: The site also sells other knitting and crocheting products as well, such as crochet hooks, knitting needles, yarn, etc, etc. This site is sick...<div><br /></div><div>Here's the link: <a href="http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en/kategori_oversikt.php">Drops Design</a> (Click on "Patterns")</div>Thumbelynahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01717888426329817755noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386039507220787755.post-21809723026173361252009-01-29T14:38:00.005-05:002009-01-29T14:55:23.350-05:00For the Roomie<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjECF8DVeCWI8_cm9KOFSjWcn-3mMiZ0dUq0NEHbYpP9Re3rC5sw2VM1PM96fo7g5NbozxJK1AH3A2VTKHxhxyRhYdtplpPLt2CoXdKr8RUuq1mAqNvJRRFThRRMsFlVIvTJTxvF_ZueGMV/s1600-h/IMG_0135.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjECF8DVeCWI8_cm9KOFSjWcn-3mMiZ0dUq0NEHbYpP9Re3rC5sw2VM1PM96fo7g5NbozxJK1AH3A2VTKHxhxyRhYdtplpPLt2CoXdKr8RUuq1mAqNvJRRFThRRMsFlVIvTJTxvF_ZueGMV/s320/IMG_0135.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296803338037185010" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKBnYAAQyoYMHWFmLIpQ9-Iktw8Gunj-3VGcwqL8N8Ah5tl9i4PnpvEAJGHJVgWymM-uYxB5LUko9NKMguwLCnzDnUY0UiahwLXELRecdprN3q2_oCms9IqrZtNZf-hVh9iLyPftaAvTWp/s1600-h/IMG_0134.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKBnYAAQyoYMHWFmLIpQ9-Iktw8Gunj-3VGcwqL8N8Ah5tl9i4PnpvEAJGHJVgWymM-uYxB5LUko9NKMguwLCnzDnUY0UiahwLXELRecdprN3q2_oCms9IqrZtNZf-hVh9iLyPftaAvTWp/s320/IMG_0134.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296803323334976482" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKBnYAAQyoYMHWFmLIpQ9-Iktw8Gunj-3VGcwqL8N8Ah5tl9i4PnpvEAJGHJVgWymM-uYxB5LUko9NKMguwLCnzDnUY0UiahwLXELRecdprN3q2_oCms9IqrZtNZf-hVh9iLyPftaAvTWp/s1600-h/IMG_0134.JPG"><br /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaZrAFugOPhsFmb2-F4HpPRYucNwb_Xynpxfd-lZ4OS6JtJbOFMiF8N3e8xAaeeL-kU0DFh73ejsrMaEVVfK7h2AS8n7ROAfqNCQ2B18xnZy8MYNvdbWqIZhyphenhyphenIgO6zhrsw5I1zMRtw5BSF/s1600-h/IMG_0133.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaZrAFugOPhsFmb2-F4HpPRYucNwb_Xynpxfd-lZ4OS6JtJbOFMiF8N3e8xAaeeL-kU0DFh73ejsrMaEVVfK7h2AS8n7ROAfqNCQ2B18xnZy8MYNvdbWqIZhyphenhyphenIgO6zhrsw5I1zMRtw5BSF/s320/IMG_0133.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296803317856271234" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaZrAFugOPhsFmb2-F4HpPRYucNwb_Xynpxfd-lZ4OS6JtJbOFMiF8N3e8xAaeeL-kU0DFh73ejsrMaEVVfK7h2AS8n7ROAfqNCQ2B18xnZy8MYNvdbWqIZhyphenhyphenIgO6zhrsw5I1zMRtw5BSF/s1600-h/IMG_0133.JPG"><br /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">I had some Lion Brand Wool-Ease Chunky yarn that I never did anything with and so I decided I'd make something for my room mate.
