On My Needles, A Knitting Update

I finally finished a project!! It feels like lately there are more half-completed projects around this house of ours than anything else! I want to start out by apologizing for the poor pictures. Our house does not have good natural lighting, and it was super early when I took the pictures, so the light outside was not any better.
Anyways, let me tell you about this completed project of mine. I have short curly hair, and it tends to be a little crazy, because of this I use lots of hair accessories to keep it looking cute and under control. Well, all of those hair accessories end up all over the my bedroom and bathroom. It was starting to drive me crazy, so I made a soft basket to contain some of them.

I got the pattern for this basket in More Last -Minute knitted Gifts, by Joelle Hoverson. I used a brand of yarn called I love this yarn, which is found at Hobby Lobby. It is a cotton yarn, which I do not really like working with, but I felt like it was the best material to use considering it is going to be spending time in my bathroom. (I made one of these baskets for Miss O two summers ago to serve the same purpose.)

Now on to one of my many unfinished projects. I started this sweater for Miss O back in September, but I had to put it aside for many different reasons. I had Halloween costumes to make, and Christmas gifts to make. Oh, and I can't forget the needle that broke in half, and the time it took me to buy a new one and have it shipped! This has been what I have been working on lately, and hopefully I can get it finished before it gets too warm or she out grows it.
