just for me

Well, I'm still waiting on one Christmas package to arrive at its destination, so I thought I'd post some pictures of things I've made for myself over the last few months.

This is the toque I knit on Christmas and Boxing day out of the yarn Chris got me for Christmas (picked out all by himself?):

This is my new mini-purse and camera bag. I love the camera bag, but I don't like the strap on the mini-purse. Live and learn, I guess:

I had to replace the little tray that came with our bathroom set because it got all warped and weird when it got wet. Like a tray in your bathroom that holds your soap and cup isn't going to get wet. Oh well, we can test my tile design to see how it holds up!
Finally, I made myself this needle holder (as seen on http://www.splityarn.com/). It was really fun picking out a book at Value Village for this project. Since I was only concerned with the size, I didn't even look at the title of it until I got to the cash. As the girl was ringing it in I realized it was called "Political Wives." I didn't read it first.


I have one sock and one mitten done for me too! I have to redo the cast off on the sock since it turned out too tight. I desperately need the mittens as it seems that the leopard print fleece mittens I've been wearing for the last two winters are shoddy merchandise. I wonder where I got them...

Now I can post all of the embarrassing photos I've taken of all my friends over the years! Just kidding, if anyone wants me to take any down, just let me know, I don't want to humiliate anyone :)
Here's a preview:
