Studded Slouch Beanie

This has got to be my favorite beanie at the moment... after the Loki Beanie, of course! :)

It is so me- studs, skulls and all! I am thinking of adding them to my etsy store, but I am probably going to use different studs. Right now, I am still working on stocking up my store so I have been knitting non-stop. 

I am also thinking of adding stitch markers to my inventory...

Bows and skulls, of course! LOL. These can fit up to US 15 (10 mm)needles... What do you think? Should I start selling them too?

The Hulk Beanie

 
I made this beanie back in late November (2013). I never got around to taking decent photos though. I made it for a "Superhero/Villain" themed party that my sisters and I "hosted" (inside joke). LOL. My sister, Peejay, was The Hulk. My other sister, Phoebe was Spider-Man. I, of course, was Loki. Duh.

I actually went back and forth between being Loki and Thor, much like my personality... Good v. Evil. :)

Toadette Beanie

Another "girly" beanie! I made this Toadette Beanie for one of my closest friends (more like a sister), Lyssa. This is actually a very late Christmas present. She had requested that I make her this beanie over a year ago, and of course, because I am the Queen of Procrastination, I only got around to making it now.

I made this beanie using a combination of knitting and crocheting. Originally, I was going to attach the (ball) pigtails to the beanie, but my sister, Phoebe, pointed out that Lyssa may have only wanted a Toadette inspired beanie (just the pink with the white spots), and not an actual Toadette-looking headpiece. Since this was to be a gift, I couldn't really ask Lyssa without giving the surprise away, so I decided to make the pigtails detachable. That way, it can be worn as a plain beanie/beret, or it can be worn as a whole piece- pigtails and all!

 

I have yet to give this to her, but I am too happy with the end results, and way too excited that I have the need to post the pictures. Since I do no think that she reads my blog, I figured it was safe to post here first. I'll post it on the other social media platforms after I give it to her. I hope she likes it. :)

P.S. - Photos were taken by my sister, Phoebe. Thank you! :)

Owl Beanie

Apparently I do not make enough "girly" beanies. Honestly, I don't know why... Is this "girly" enough? LOL.

Owl Beanie

 This beanie was commissioned by a friend... It was to be a Christmas gift for his cousin. If it were up to me, I would have probably added more details but this is how he wanted it. I still like it though... I just wish I took better (and more) pictures, but I was crunched for time.

My friend had also requested another beanie, but I don't know... I am not entirely happy with the end result so I don't really want to post it yet. Everyone else loved it but I don't... I am in the process of making it better, so once that's done I will post it. :)

On a sort of different note, my etsy shop is going through changes right now. I hope to have it fully operational in 2 weeks. I am still taking custom orders though, in case anyone is wondering. In the meantime, you can browse through here:

If you see anything you like, just shoot me a message (preferably via etsy).

I also hope to be able to sell more "girly" items. I am currently working on a project right now... It's pretty "girly." :)

Happy New Year!

This post is late, I know... I just didn't have the time to update with all the orders and holiday shopping I had to do. My Christmas was great though. As usual, it was spent with my loved ones... family and friends so I couldn't really ask for more. How was your Christmas?
