Sleeve Shrug Thing

Once, I tried knitting Tubey. It didn’t turn out to well (The top was the right size but the bottom was HUGE) so I ripped out the bottom and was about to do the same with the top. Just for fun, I tried it on.

I like it a lot, actually. It was fun to knit and I highly recommend it. Also, I got a lot of compliments at school.

(Yes, that is my unnatural disaster room in the background. How did you guess?)

 

First batch of acceptable patterns

I’ve been seaching like mad to find good teen patterns on the web. It’s been hard, but I’ve found a few. Most are from Knitty, which rocks.
Tubey – This pattern… Well, what can I say. Everyone who’s seen it seems to love it. I’m not exception; I’ve made my own (though I changed it quite a lot from the original pattern).
Convertable – This is a shrug that can be worn in three different ways – regular shrug, mini poncho, and a cowl-type this with sleeves. It’s not for the beginner, but it would be fun to make if you have some experience. I don’t like the color that it’s knitted in, but this potentailly a very cool thing. ‘
Nagano Sakura – Okay. Almost everybody says this scarf seems like a little noose. But as long as you’re not suicidal (and you don’t ten to pull on the ends of your scarves like I do), this is a cute accesory.
Kyoto – If you’re into Japanese chic, this sweater rocks. It’s on my knitting to-do list.
