Tardis wristwarmers

Just made a pair for a good friend of mine.  She's a total Dr Who nut!

Also made a Cunning Candy Corn Colored Earflap hat for another friend.  She's taking a trip up to Alaska and wanted to show people that she's afraid of nothing!

Easter Sheep

And here are Frannie's Easter Sheep.  I just fell in love with them so I knitted up a whole family. 
Pattern is from Ravelry.com, of course.  The fleece comes off the sheep so you can shear them or change coats.  Very fun!
One of the gals I work with loved them so much that she asked me to knit her one.  She gave me a nice lavendar sack in exchange.  Yea!

Stuffed animals for Frances

I have recently gotten into making stuffed animals for my daughter Frances.  Her Easter basket was full of them.  The sheep were a particularly big hit.  I should post a pic of them.  I need to take a picture first...
Anyway...she was disappointed not to get the egg that becomes a bird that she wanted.  I was looking for things to make her for Easter on Ravelry and found this pattern that, unfortunately, came in a book rather than just downloading from the site. 
Recently I found a great book called Topsy-Turvy, Inside-Out knitted toys.  I love it!  I can't wait to make them all!
Here's the Flower Fairy in a Tulip.
And the egg...
that flips inside out to become a penguin.
Too cute...and, so far, easy!
I think I'm going to do the egg to alligator next.  Then I might try the dog that flips inside-out into his doghouse.  Although, I do have the colors of yarn to make the Hedgehog/Squirrel.  Too many cute things!!

Jayne hat no more

So, there's now a cease and desist order on Jayne hats.  Good thing I don't make those.  I did sell 2 Cunning Candy Corn earflap hats at Comicon this spring.  But to be safe I'll stick to trading these or being a little more cunning with them.  tee-hee
