52 Knits // #44-47

#44: toast variations

Pattern: Inspired by the toast pattern

Yarn Used: ONline Linie 310 Alpaca (100% Alpaca)

Needles: 4.5mm DPNs

Modifications: see below

Note: I started these thinking that I would knit the toast fingerless mittens that I've had in my queue for forever (probably since the day I signed up on ravelry). Well, after only a couple of rows I got pretty bored and thought 'Why not use these to practice your stranded knitting skills?' so I did. I also added 1 2x2 ribbing and made them waaay shorter than the pattern suggested.

#45: Big Mug Hug

#46: Brown Mug Hug

#47: Lacy Mug Hug

Pattern: Mug Hug by Rebecca Gunderson

Yarn Used: worsted weight leftovers

Needles: 4mm DPNs

Modifications: added different design elements

Note: A variety of mug hugs for some friends. I made a large one for my dad because he thinks the average size is too small for men hands. The brown and the red ones are for friends. These are really addictive to make, the design possibilities are endless and everyone enjoys a hot cup of coffee/tea/hot chocolate, right?

These are projects #44-47 of 52

As part of my 2012 goals, I want to finish 52 knitted items this year. You can see all the items I knitted so far on my blog or on ravelry.
