Knit Gifts

Lately I've been knitting items for gifts and here are the latest. I really tried to take good photographs of them but it's not easy even with a remote trigger. :0

Neck warmer: adult and for dog

Next up, we have a nice lacy button cowl with knit with bulky yarn is nice green tones. The lace will add to your fall/winter wardrobe and will look great under a coat or with a T-shirt. The cowl will provide added warmth while the lace prevents the wearer from getting overheated. :)

The button along with the lacework allows lots of possible ways to be worn.

Here is another versatile item which can be a scarf or a shawl. There is a row of buttons that can be used to secure the shawl. You can tie it, button it or drape it. There are many ways to wear this lightweight yet warm knit. The yarn is a fingering weight which is the same yarn that is used to knit socks. Sock weight yarn is great for scarves/shawls especially in SoCal where it can get chilly and you need a little extra warmth.

Unfortunately I don't seem to have knack to wear this with flair but I know there are lots of people with way more style and can totally rock this look.

Here it is all laid out to show the shape...it has a lovely drape to stay on your shoulders too. The eyelets by the cable columns double as buttonholes as needed.

Lastly, I have a nice hat and cowl set knit with a bulky weight yarn with pale green/beige colors.

Just as the temps are dropping, this is the perfect set to look great and beat the chill.

Thanks for looking!

A finished knitted item. This one is a cowl that I love the concept of but haven't been able to find one that suits me. I like the idea of loosely wrapping it around the wearer's neck and not struggling with stray ends of a scarf since this is a loop.

I'm sure I can find someone who can love all that is has to offer...
