So over the last week or so I have started a couple of new projects. I have on my needles, a baby blanket that is coming along nicely. It’s being made from Moda Vera Pure Wool in a lime green colour. The second project I only started last night out of pure whim and it’s […]

So my jumper has been on my needles for a couple of days now. I have managed to get two stripes down and about 9 rows into my third stripe. I would be much further along if I hadn’t had to frog about 10 rows….twice.

As of last night, I started my very first jumper and I’m making it for myself. Winter can be a bitter affair in my neck of the woods and I need a lovely warm jumper to keep me happy. When I was a teenager, I had a black garter stitch knit jumper that I literally […]

Eventually this little bear will be for someone special. A special little newborn. Let’s face it, every newborn is special. But that’s a whole other topic!

So I finished off the pink Hippo softie that I was making for one of my friends who is having her second baby in a couple of days/weeks. Only problem being they don’t know the sex of the baby but I will jigger something when bubs in born.

So the baby blanket for Campbell Jon has been washed, blocked and ready to be sent off today. I am so very happy with how it turned out. The lace pattern is easy to remember after doing a few repeats. There were a few times that I had to frog a couple of lines due […]

Oh so busy… I have so many idea’s of things I want to try but seriously do not have the time to do any of it. We have been absolutely flat out with our little munchkin who is a whopping 15 months old now. One of my first cousin’s have just welcomed a gorgeous baby […]

We had a family lunch yesterday afternoon and I wore my shoulderette that I knitted. My mother in law was impressed and asked me if I knew of any patterns for baby beanies that I could knit up. I said sure but why would you need baby beanies needed? Answer was, she is going on […]

With a couple of false starts (such as twisting the WIP when joining the round on circular needles, not realizing that make one actually meant make one, not knit one), my bag is coming along quite nicely and quickly! The cables are actually very easy (in this pattern anyway). I don’t have a cable needle […]

The next knitting project has been decided. I am going to attempt to teach myself how to knit cables by knitting this gorgeous looking bag. It is a Drops pattern which is free and can be found here. Here’s to the next few weeks of knitting!
