Favorite Pattern Friday - Projects from fellow Ravelers

I will use this Friday to show some of the awesome and extremely creative work that's done by people like you and me on Ravelry. If there are any knitters/crocheters/weavers out there, that haven't signed up for this website yet, they should do so immediately! And if you are a person that would like to craft and do things, but think you are not talented enough, just try it! There are tons of websites out there that offer help and instructions for beginners.


But now it's time for 10 of my favorite Raveler projects:

 Joorwol's Blackburn

Orig. Pattern: Blackburn by Martin Storey

This project is from a Rav-friend of mine. Thanks to her, I was able to knit the beautiful Shibuya pullover I've blogged about before. She has tons of beautiful projects in her gallery, so it was hard to pick only one.. but I really like this sweater. It's a perfect fit, the yarn creates a really nice texture and the picture she took of it is really cool too! I'm not surprised her boyfriend wears it so often.

villapeikko's Arch-shaped socks

Orig. Pattern: Arch-shaped socks by Jen Showalter   free!

Awesome color & great modification with the rib pattern! 

strikkefrenzy's 14 Totoros

Orig. Pattern: Paper Dolls by Kate Davies

There is a reason this pullover pattern has 562 finished projects and is in 2,360 queues (including mine).. It is gorgeous and the possibilities of the yoke design are endless! Kate, the designer of Paper Dolls, wrote about some of her favorite customizations on her blog.
My favorite is and always will be the Totoro version from strikkefrenzy!

Purlescence's Catasaurus Rex

Orig. Pattern: Cats love Sweaters by Christine Landry   free!

I think this one is self-explanatory!

Taina's Miralda's Triangular Shawl

Orig. Pattern: Miralda's Triangular Shawl by Nancy Bush

Stunning Lacework! I love the color! 
I really need to buy some more yarn soon..  

KNITTINGinHI's Chullo

Orig. Pattern: Four Egg-Cozy Hats by Miriam G. Briggs

This is the coolest little kokeshi chullo ever!


More projects after the break!

knittingma's Patterned Yoke Cardigan

Orig. Pattern: 113-17 jacket with raglan sleeve and pattern on yoke by DROPS design   free!

Wonderful & elegant cardigan! Great photography to show the yoke!

knittimo's heather lavalette

Orig. Pattern: Lavalette by Kirsten Kapur   free!

This free pattern is so basic and simple.. it's stunning how people can transform it into something so special and sophisticated!

LizArrow's Woven Kindle Case

It began as a scarf and ended to be a kindle case I'm extremely jealous of!

aliciamarin's Mary Jane

Orig. Pattern: Mary Jane by Sarah Moore

aliciamarin obviously knows how to modify a pattern to make it fit perfect!
I love her changes - especially the left out eyelets and longer sleeves!
