Last Christmas my fiancee and I bought a tiny fake Christmas tree to decorate ourselves. I decided it was finally time to knit up some ornaments!

Both of these little guys are the design of Anna Hrachovec. She is my favorite knitter if you can’t tell from the other projects I have done :) I also knitted two more snowmen to hang in my car and my fiancee’s car. They are just too cute!

I knitted some more renwood bunnies :) I have had this cool multicolored yarn for about two years now and I only just got the right needles for it a few months ago. I finally had an idea for what to make…cute tiny renwood bunny!

I also knitted up an orange one for my honey for Valentine’s Day this year. I think they make a cute little family all together.

I apologize for the lack of posts…I actually have things from Christmas that I never got around to posting. I feel pretty silly posting them now, but I will be sharing them soon! 

So I have just been the worst blogger, but I hope this makes up for it a little! I was asked by dowhatyourbodywants to post about my yoga bag I made. I will not be posting a pattern for it, but I can lead you in the right direction to recreate it!

For most of the bag, I followed a pattern entitled the Grrlfriend Market Bag (found here on ravelry.com or here from the author’s website). I followed the instructions for the base and made it as large as necessary to cover the bottom of my rolled up yoga mat.

I then proceeded to follow the instructions for the body. I kind of measured out how long the bag would be and tried to figure out about when I should start the tree part, but I just kind of guessed. I put tried the bag out as I went to see how my mat would fit and to try to center the tree section. 

Once I had my desired length, I referenced my modified Twining Trees chart (the original chart can be found here on ravelry.com and here on the author’s website) and started working on it. I kept the part surrounding it simple by just doing stockinette stitch and just followed the chart, modifying it due to knitting in the round instead of as a flat panel. 

After I finished the chart, I went back to knitting the body of the bag in the Grrlfriend Market Bag pattern until it was the desired length. I just used some yarn for a drawstring.

I hope this helps anyone looking to make a bag like mine!

I have been very busy this past month. My dog passed away (making me exceptionally emotionalism), school has been crazy, and most recently I was sick last week. I have been feeling pretty unmotivated when it comes to knitting, though I have several ideas for projects in the works. I am sorry for the lack of any consistency in my posts. I plan on starting a collage completely devoted to my dog (which will eventually be followed by a knitted project related to her as well). I will probably share pictures when I finish :) I hope that my knitting motivation will grow next month so I can share my ideas and projects!

I hope everyone is well and that you all have a great Thanksgiving week!

This is something that I have wanted to knit since I first purchased Knitting Mochimochi. It was the project that caught my eye the most and made me absolutely certain that I needed to buy that book asap. It’s odd that it took me so long to actually knit it! I decided to give her a bow using the left over yarn from the inside :) I just adore her. I was so excited the entire time I knit her and I’m so pleased with how she turned out! She is my favorite thing that I have ever knit! 

My boyfriend joked the night that I finished her that she should be named Mufflepuff (seeing as both he and I are Hufflepuffs), and I think it’s cute and witty!

I just love tiny mermaid’s long flowing hair :) I kept thinking about the mermaids in Hook when I was choosing the colors for her, but I just didn’t feel that I had the right mix of colors to make one as bright and pretty as they were. Another from Teeny Tiny Mochimochi, though I’m sure you realized that! 

Another quick knit from Teeny Tiny Mochimochi. It turned out pretty good. Wasn’t my favorite, but it’s cute nonetheless :)

This is my yoga bag for my mat :) It took me far longer to make than it should have. It got to be a rather boring knit after I finished the tree. I modified the pattern for the Girlfriend Market Bag for the body, as well as the cable pattern for Twining Trees for my tree! I know the green clashes with my pink mat, but I really wanted the bag to be green for the tree :) I may add a strap sometime, but I got so burnt out with this project that it will probably be quite a while if I decide to add one. 

This is my rainbow hat :) I made it to match my rainbow scarf (which is still in the works…). I was inspired by Susan B. Anderson’s Rainbow Marley hat in her book Itty Bitty Hats. I’ve really wanted a hat with a big pom pom at the top, and I felt this one was perfect! I couldn’t resist making the pom pom rainbow too! I made this without a pattern (just a picture!), which I don’t do very often, so I’m pretty proud of how it turned out :)
