Pencil Scarf

Every year for my son's birthday I give him something hand made. This year he told me he wanted a pencil bigger than him. So I was browsing some patterns and ran across this pencil scarf! He loves it! I have to force him not to wear it in the house! It was super easy to knit, the only thing I changed was I did a few less gray rows and a few more pink, I thought it needed less "metal" and more "eraser". I am very happy with the outcome! Here's where I found the pattern:

Here's mine:

Little Legwarmers

These are the legwarmers I made for my niece. Her mother wanted white, so I added little buttons to give them some flare. They worked up super quick and look adorable on! Here's what I did:

Little Legwarmers

CO 32 sts on size 7 dpn's.

Work K1, P1 for 1 inch. Continue in St st until piece measures 9".

Switch to K1, P1 ribbing again and continue for 2". (I left the bottom a little longer to stay on her socks and to put over her shoes a tad) They really looked cute like that!

BO all sts. weave in ends. Sew on buttons or whatever other embellishments you'd like! I also thought they'd look cute with some of the decorative buttons you see everywhere, but I wanted a more vintage look for these ones!
