First we have the stenciled hoodie:
I made the stencil from this image, which my partner indicated she liked. Doing all the little stripes for the tights was tough! But I am so happy with the way it came out. I want to make one for me.
Here's another pic:
Next up, we have the item that gave me the most trouble, and with which (to be honest) I was the least satisfied.
For some reason, I just couldn't get my act together with the sewing, and the skirt ended up being a lot shorter than I intended. It's not bad, but it's not my favorite thing, either.
I also spun up a quick skein of bulky yarn:
This should end up sort of striping black/white, with a little bit of gray. I am having fun with the bulky yarns lately, trying to remember how to make them.
Although the swap was only meant to be for 3 things, as usual, I had way more ideas than that, and my partner had specifically asked for fingerless mittens, so I knit her some black and white striped ones.
And then crocheted a scarf to go with:
Overall, I am really happy with this stuff. And making the scarf rekindled my love of crochet, plus I have a bunch of that yarn left, so I may make more.
Now I can get to work on my stuffed animal for the Stuffie swap. :)

What a lucky partner you have! I love the handspun....I am relearning how to spin bulky too. The skirt looks cute and would be perfect to wear with leggings under, but my favorite thing is the scarf. I love how that came out!
