As we draw near to Christmas I have started working on some gifts that I really need to get completed. First up is a hat and scarf set for one of my sister's-in-law.
I knitted these on my loom using the Red Heart Team Spirit yarn but I also wanted to try to jazz them up a bit. At first I wasn't sure about how to do it and then out of nowhere the thought hit me to try making fabric yoyo's from some leftover collegiate fabric I had. Off the 'net I went in search of how to make these yoyo's but alas it was not to be. I just couldn't get it right. .............. Then I found where I could purchase a tool for making them at Joann's. And not only that but they came in different sizes! Talk about being in heaven.....
After making a few yoyo's in different sizes I sewed them on to my scarf and hat so as to make them a little more "official". Oh, and I was lucky enough to find some elephant buttons which I sewed in the middle of the yoyo on my hat. How awesome is that? Now if I could just find buttons like that for other team mascots........
