I think I'm getting pretty good at hats ;) Another gift, this time for a guy so I tried to make sure it was "masculine" :)

While making Christmas gifts I decided I had mastered basic hats and wanted something more challenging :) I really like how this turned out (and think I need to make myself one).

Glittens (glove + mitten) were requested for Christmas. Having never made them I had to learn a whole lot of stuff (like how to use dpns and knit in the round). It's terribly complicated and a lot more detail oriented then I'm used to, and the thumb turned out crazy huge (I'm thinking I used the wrong needle size). But hopefully the right hand turns out better and I get all the kinks worked out for the gift pair ;)

I made my first handmade knitted Christmas gift :) The mittens turned out pretty large and the hat pointier than I would've liked, but she liked them and that's all that matters ;)
