Pacman and Blinky headband

Who's our favourite circular 8-bit hero?
Pacman of course.
This pattern was one of the first I got the idea for and it was very satisfying to finally make it.
It feels like I'm starting to get the hang of the whole knitting thing and I'm extremely happy with the outcome of this.
As mentioned in last weeks post, I'm working on the matching scarf for this set and it seems like I'll be able to finish that in the upcoming weeks.

As always, I have also posted this pattern on Ravelry.

Curly bracket mittens


Time for the weekly update. Been working on a Pacman scarf all of January and it seems to never get finished. However, I have some already finished projects to display here meanwhile =)

So, up this week is a pair of mittens that has no relation to 8-bit things at all. I made these as a gift for a colleague that was nice enough to be support backup during the christmas holidays. The curly brackets, { and }, are used in the syntax for C# (and some other programming languages) which is what we use at work. Perfect mittens for coding at our ice cold office.

The pattern is as always available on Ravelry.

8-bit mushroom mittens

Happy new year! It's time for the first post of 2016 and I start off with a pair of mittens I completed mid-december last year. They are the fourth component of the matching mushroom set and now I only have the socks left according to my original plan and so far I haven't come up with any new ideas for additional mushroom accessories. The socks must however wait a bit as I'm still trying to figure out where to put the mushroom =)

So, back to the mittens. They are made to wear inside when it's cold and I'll probably mostly use them at work as it's really chilly. Also perfect for playing your favourite game this cold season.

Pattern is of course as always available on Ravelry.
