With the upcoming Olympic Games, a friend of mine has been bugging me to make these things, which are sold in stores:
The designs are sewed on, not knitted, but I managed to pull off these instead, with the maple leaf knitted into the mitten:
The scarf that they sell in stores looks like this, I think:
My German language exchange partner is heading back to Germany in a few days and I whipped up a smaller buttoned neck warmer as a going-away thank-you present.

Great work! 
Wow! Nice job!!
Nicely done! :yay: :yay:
Yes I have seen these cheap Olympic hats and mittens(made in China:noway: ).They are very sad indeed!!
I’m glad you made some nice gifts!!
Canadians ROCK!!:woohoo:
Very nice!
When I first saw this post I thought it said “[B]scary[/B] knock-offs”. :roflhard:
Wow!! They look awesome!!
Those are both awesome! Great job!
Those are awesome. I really like the scarf. I have a pair of the mittens (I got them when the torch went through Regina as the stores can’t keep them on their shelves) and I agree they are really cheap mittens. I think I am too used to my homemade ones I have made and how warm and cozy they are and made to fit perfectly on me.
Very nice! They even look warmer than the other ones. Home made is best!
Beautiful!
I used the maple leaf pattern again, this time for a hat. It’s a bit too narrow, having cast on only 68 stitches, but hopefully it’ll stretch out a bit.
Nice work!
