Dino baby booties

These dino booties were fun to knit - the doggie seems to like them too :D

Yarn Novita 7 Veljestä lime green and orange, total 60 g

Stay-on baby booties

Very easy baby booties: apparently these should stay on even on a hard-kicking child.



Instructions in English at Ravelry or here.
The booties were originally knitted flat, but I knitted them round to avoid the sewing of the back seam.

Winnow socks

These Winnow socks were great fun to knit. Not too hard and not too easy. I really enjoyed making this pair! Otherwise I followed the instructions but I changed the toe to a round one - it looks better in my opinion :)

Two hats

I am trying to clean up my yarn storage - these two hats emerged out of the two skeins of microfiber yarn I had bought a couple of years ago. To my life I cannot remember what I was originally supposed to make out of the yarn but I am quite satisfied what I ended up making with it :D

Poncho

I was not satisfied with a pullover I had made earlier in 2009 - so I reused the yarn and knitted myself a poncho. It is quite useful on those autumn days when it is too cold to go with a thin jacket but it is not yet thick jacket time.



Yarn: Cheval Blanc Laponie (55% acryl, 45% wool) 900 g, sticks 7
Pattern is my own, instructions only in my head :)
