So, yesterday was the now infamous christmas party, so I bring to you an update! I've been wanting to put up pictures of peoples presents for a month now and finally I get my chance.
First up, my friend Sam's scarf. (Modeled by my lovely sister) It's a novelty mohair blend yarn, that I thought was going to be enough for a scarf, but it ended up a little short. I thought that the color would be perfect for her and I was right.
Next is the heart scarf I made for another of my girlfriends. (Modeled by me this time) The yarn was a soft acrylic that I've actually fallen in love with, I have about 4 skiens of the red in my stash. Kind of a fun project, making all the hearts got annoying after a while though.
And now, the shrug I made for my third best friend. (My sister once again modeling) I used the "Shrug This" pattern in the book One skien wonders, but changed the yarn to make the shrug a little warmer. I added a contrasting colored stripe towards the bottom, which you can't really see, and a crocheted trim.
And finally, because this was not only a regular gift exchange, but also a white elephant party. Meet the white elephant. (He looks pinkish because of my afgan) This cute little guy is completely cheap acrylic I found at a garage sale, and polyfil stuffing I kidnapped out of my mom's stash. I've tried making another elephant since, but its turning out looking more like an aardvark.
