For the Twilight Fans...











 I found an incredible thing the other day. Alice Cullen inspired fingerless mitts!  I knew the Twilight fans out there would really dig these, so here you go!  Of course I had to find a pic of Alice sporting hers, and below you will see the version I created.

Truth be told, I found a pattern for them online, but when I finished them they looked like a chicken leg.  Not attractive at all!  So I rewrote the pattern to my liking and this is what I produced!

Now for those of you who are die-hard Twilight fans, there are specific yarn types available that have been inspired by the series.  You can find them all over the internet.  Please check out the Accessories page for ordering details.

Gents, this one is for you!

Ladies and gentlemen, but mostly gentlemen, tonight I bring you the Beard Hat.  This creation came at the request of a family friend, and unfortunately the request was a while ago.  Luckily, I was able to find a way to make the beard, which is what was slowing me down, and have finished the creation.
Also tonight I am happy to announce a first for That Yarn Girl: a model.  I want to thank Bryce Maughn for being such a great sport. Enjoy and tell all the guys you know!

For the Boys

Here is the gift idea for the little boys out there, as promised.  This is a lovely little sweater.  Unfortunately I could not convince Landon to model today.  He is too busy running around the house to actually slow down enough for pictures.

12 Month Size Shown
Here is a cute tidbit about me while I was making this sweater.  I was on a business trip and had taken this along with me for a time killer.  I was working on the sleeves and knew they were supposed to measure 8 1/2 inches in length when they were finished.  Me being the skilled person that I am found a letter size sheet of paper and measured.  Only problem was I used the wrong end of the page.  The sleeves on this one measure 11 inches. 
This project ranges from 6 month size to 2T.
Now for the pricing on this awesome sweater: $15.00
Don't forget to email me with size and color requirements.
