Frogs!

It turns out I'm not the only genius that went frog themed for Scott's cousin's leap year baby. Sigh. However, it took me a while to create my frog, and I finally finished just in time to give the little tyke a late birthday present / Easter present.

There are a few changes I would make if/when I make it again (use an acrylic, and not a cotton, learn to do a proper mattress stitch, etc), but I love how it came out, any way!

When an Ooops?! becomes OOOH!

I distractedly started a knitting project while watching a hockey game one night. It was about a third into it when I realized the neckwarmer was about twice the width than what I had wanted. I took a chance and kept going. When it was the appropriate length, I cast off, and tried it on. It was perfect - for a giraffe.

A couple buttons later, I had a solution - a collared neckwarmer!
