Yarn Ball Boogie

Envy and Clean Teeth

This is a little number I finished a while ago, but couldn’t post until now. I was waiting on the images from Mr. Photographer. And now that I have them, so do you. I’m going to edit this post and add the pattern (for free) a little later today. I’m in a rush and have to get to the dentist by 9am. Nothing like squeaky clean teeth. Dirtay mouth? Clean it up!

    Omg. I’m in love. I might just have to *try* to knit this one of these days [still in the “beginner-ish” stage…].
    Great design!

    When saw this super cool neck warmer, I fell so in love with it.
    I didn’t knit anything since years. But now I ordered yarn and sure I will knit more than one of it.

    The yarn you used isn’t available here in Germany but I found a similar one and will knit it in pink.

    Thank you for the wonderful pattern.

    Greetings from Germany,
