These knitted gingerbread ornaments look good enough to eat!
Photo note:
"these are the kids christmas ornaments I made this year, knitted gingerbread boys and girls.
Berroco Ultra Alpaca and Crystal FX with scrap yarn for the face and buttons
I stuffed them and added a piece of fabric inside doused with gingerbread scented oil to make them smell like they came right out of the oven"
I wish I could have seen this knitted gingerbread house. It looks amazing.

And just one more. To see other designs she's made, please click on the photo. There are many other images, all of them just as captivating as this one is.
Her photo note:
"Please see our profile, thank you very much for your comments!!!"
Keep knitting and inspiring!
Here is a close-up of one of irregular expressions' neck pieces . . . isn't this fun? A riot of color, texture and textiles~
This knitter has captivated me with her whimsical knitted neck warmers!
I love it when knitting goes beyond the normal knit and purl and into the realm of fun and fantastical. And, as all the photos from this knitter show, they all look great with this cute black scoop neck tee.
Nice work!!

Perfect~
Poetry Mittens
Photo note:
"Mittens inspired from Poetry in Stitches by Solveig Hisdal."
These are so beautiful, the colors rich!
Beautiful! This knitter tells us:
"I read in Latvian Mittens just how important mittens are in Latvian culture. How brides need 120+ pairs of mittens to give away at their weddings...how there are mitten folksongs and poetry, etc. Here's some evidence. They show mittens on their stamps!"
Luxurious in red - great knitted scarf!

You did an awesome job! Cute photo, too.
Love it! Great man's scarf. Click the link to visit this knitter's site:

So many scarf designs, so little time!
This knitter says:
"Once again, using up left over yarns, I knit up this scarf...I am liking it so much I think I just may keep this one for myself!"
Let's hear it for left-over bits of yarn! That's a whole 'nuther focus. . .
Photo note:
"I rarely photograph my knitting. This scarf is knit from hand spun yarn my mom gave me last Christmas. The cool weather inspired me to finish it. The ruffle is crochet in a contrasting hand spun yarn."
I'm glad you did take a photo - I love how this turned out!
Another variation from the same knitter. This time in a garter stitch, using variegated yarn.
Photo note:
"This super chunky and soft scarf neckwarmer was hand knit with a 100% wool yarn.
The nature of the stitch makes the yarn extra thick, so it will keep its wearer toasty warm and it is wool yarn super soft.
Width: 5.9"(15 cm.)
Length: 34"(87 cm.)
If you would like a different colour, or different style of button feel free to contact me with your choices and I can set up a reserved listing for you.
Material: 100% pure wool, ribbon
Cleaning: handwash in cool water and lay flat to dry."
I love this. I made a similar scarf for my daughter last year, and need to photograph it for the blog.
This knitter says:
"Hand knitted scarf neck warmer color blue-gray. It is attached with two buttons.
My clothes can be used directly on the skin, even those sensitive to wool, as it produces no itching or irritation.
Width: 5.9"(15 cm.)
Length: 28"(71 cm.)
Materials
50% wool, 50% acrylic
Buttons."
One of the things I like about this neck warmer is the moss stitch, which is so versatile, and can turn many yarns into something even more special. Not to mention how the work lies flat, which is nice for regular scarves as well.
Very pretty! This knitter tells us:
"Blogged here
I am knitting this scarf with size 17 Brittany birch knitting needles. I love all of my fiberarts tools!"
It's scarf season!
This knitter says:
"This has been a work in progress for quite a while. It's probably about 75% done now and I still love it. I just don't knit enough right now.
I was playing with the boyfriend's camera this afternoon and couldn't resist some knitting pictures in addition to the cookie pictures I was taking.
This scarf (in case you don't know) is from Last Minute Knitted Gifts and is being knit with Socks That Rock mediumweight yarn in Farmhouse and Watermelon Tourmaline. It's awesome. The yarn, I mean. You would never guess that it's wool. Really."
Another view, and notes:
"knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTcalorimetry.html
Calorimetry from Knitty for mom since she wears her hair back all the time."
This is such an interesting piece, I was curious to learn more.
Here are the notes and links to go with:
"knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTcalorimetry.html
Calorimetry open so you can see the way the yarn all matches up. Knit in Patons SWS - a soy wool blend in the color natural earth. Took one skein with some left over because I wanted the pattern to match up."
This knitter has been busy, and what a gorgeous piece. Here are the notes to go with the photo:
"Project Specs

Pattern Source: BrooklynTweed and The Canadian Spool Cotton Company
Yarn: Malabrigo Merino Worsted, 287g Pale Khaki (620 yds)

This is another one of those gifts that I'm sad to have to part with! I definitely won't mind knitting one for myself someday though. :)"

Very cute. Again, knitted mini Christmas ornaments.

These are just adorable~
Photo note:
"This is my replica of the mitts worn by Alice Cullen in the upcoming movie New Moon. The pattern is at www.ravelry.com for free by adnilamyrf.
This design is all about the yarn so I dyed it myself using Wilton cake dyes, vinegar and the microwave. Check out my project area on Ravelry for complete details of my process."
I gotta make one.
Photographer's note:
"Yay! a crafty project that came out well!
I used Fuzzy Mitten's siamese cat pattern, with minor modifications (mostly, I did the ears differently than directed."
Knitted Cat Toy, Knitted Cat, Knitted Siamese Cat
Photo note:
"Yes, I can. I have spent quite a bit of effort teaching our cats that my knitting is not a toy. Here I've put my knitting down next to Catrina, who has been sleeping at my feet on the couch."
This is totally precious. I love it!
Photo note:
"my cat looking for a warm place to snuggle as I knit"
Cute!

"I finished the knitted cat today^^
Pattern from "Knitted Toys" by Zoe Meller"
Another great, knitted idea!
Photo note:
"Recycled tin can (washed of course) filled with homemade snack mix, decorated with scrapbooking left-overs and topped with a hand knit dishcloth. Wrapped up with yarn scraps and topped with a vintage acorn button."
If you're like me, you still have lots of apples left from the apple trees.
This knitter has put apples to another good use!

Here's the yarn used. Again, the link from purl bee:

Cute! This knitter/photographer says:
"I didn't give him a waddle, although I could. Does he need one?"
Naw. . .
A knitter with one of my favorite colors knitted into a lace scarf. Gorgeous orange!
This photographer says:
"All of these were knit by my mom and me on knifty knitter looms for fall decorations/fall festival fundraiser"
So pretty! What a wonderful shawl to wear for Thanksgiving~

Pattern: Turkey from Born in a Barn, Volume 4 from CraftyAlien.com
I started this guy late yesterday afternoon and finished him up this morning. He's a special Thanksgiving surprise for Camdyn. I knit the head, body, and beak in the round and felted everything in the machine, which really sped the whole thing up!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! blogged

It's been awhile since I've added anything, and with Fall in full swing, it's time for some fall knits.
I love these knitted pumpkins nestled in with real squash~
