Hat #2: Christmas Tree Hat
Sorry, for some reason I can't get these pictures turned and my husband just quickly took the pictures before packaging. Anyway, a relative of mine cuts Christmas trees up on the mountains and then sells them, so I thought this hat would be a funny Christmas present.
Here's the front of the hat. It has Christmas trees and snow flakes and a saw. This was so much fun to make. It's 75% wool.

Potholders #6: Cherry Blossom Tree in Green and Tan
Made from an order. This little girl wanted these for her mother for Christmas and picked the colours herself too. They look really great together! They are 100% cotton.
Here's the full front.
And here are the backs.

"Mittens" #9: Fingerless Engineer Gloves
I made these earlier for my husband's birthday present but forgot to photograph and archive them. My husband's studying electrical engineering so I crocheted the word insinööri, engineer, on them. He loves driving with them when it gets cold (or work on his electronics in the cold basement).

Mittens #7: Tricolour Children's Mittens
I struggled with these mittens for a long time. First idea of these mittens was a blueberry inspired front and this finished pattern on the palm side. The blueberries didn't really work out, and the palm pattern looked prettier so I decided to start over and make them smaller too. After that I had problems with the thumb and ended up unraveling a finished mitten just to make a new thumb that I designed after making the first mitten. Pooooh, here they are.

Mittens #6: Baby Mittens with Flowers
My friend just had a baby girl (VBA2C!) so I decided to welcome her baby with these thumbless baby mittens made of baby safe bamboo yarn. Now for the matching flower headband and some Finnish chocolate for the mama :) Congratulations, Mandy!

Mittens #4: Striped Mittens with Letter Badges
I made these as a birthday gift for my niece. They are made of 75% wool blend that is washable. Made with two colours crossing so they are extra warm and more wind resistible.
Headband #17:White Flower Headband with Leaves and Button
Sorry for the bad picture quality for this one. I made this as a baptismal gift for my niece. It's acrylic and the leaves are silver colour.

Update
It's been quiet here, huh? Not because I stopped knitting and crocheting though. I just completed a big order of flower headbands, and wanted to photograph them all at once when I was done instead one at a time. (We did also move, minor detail.) But when I was done I simply forgot to take pictures! I guess I was very anxious to get it done...
