I made this scarf and mittens for a friend. I used a shell pattern repeat for the scarf and used a knit ravelry pattern for the mittens. I converted the knits into single crochet. I weaved ribbon through the wrists to help it stay put.

Birthday Dress
My Birthday Dress for April 24th. I have the broche and the black gloves, I just have to figure out which smoking hott shoes I need to buy.
It worked up super quick, even though it is knit. I love the cables and the eyelets that run down both sides. I think I got enough practice with the bobbles, but I still don't like them. They poke through the wrong side perfectly. I was thinking about getting those tiny rubber bands and wrap them around each bobble so that they stay put. I wonder if there is a special way to block bobbles?...
I am sure that I will get a better picture at the party. Also, I need to reattach the halter strap because it stretched so much from the weight of the dress. The dress could weigh ten pounds, easy.
It's worked in bulky wool yarn with US 10.5 needles.
I got the pattern from Vogue Knitting Holiday 2008. Designed by Nanette Lepore.
