Tiny Ted

I have just finished knitting a tiny ted. He is only 2.5inches tall, and utterly adorable. He is from a Free Pattern from http://littlecottonrabbits.typepad.co.uk/ It used very little 4ply yarn and was quite quick, if a little fiddly. But I love fiddly, so it was all good.

You can also see tiny ted with babe, she is smitten with him, and wont let him go.

Jester Medieval Mouse

Just finished the Jester mouse from Simply Knitting's Medieval Mouse collection. I am so pleased with how it came out. I actually had to make two because when my friend saw it, she wanted one too!

Walk the Wight

Steve completed the Bembridge to Carisbrooke section (the hilly bit)of the Isle of Wight Walk the Wight today. There was a torrential down pour on the way, and he got very muddy, but he did it! Yippeeee!

The hat had to cope with a lot of rain and being squeezed out- its still looking fine though!

The knitted replica of the village of Mersham, near Ashford, was created by the 40-strong Afternoon Club.

My First Sock

Today I finished my very first sock! I am so chuffed. I had finished the knitting of the sock last week, but had been putting off doing the kitchener stitch but I found a great tutorial

I used Regia 4ply color

Walk the Wight Hat

I've just finished knitting a hat for Steve from Wightcat Crafts to wear when he Walks the Wight
on Sunday 17th May.
I was very pleased with it. When I started to do the decreases at the top of the hat, I was a bit worried that the ribbing was going askew, but I went with it and it turned out brilliantly.

When I started to knit the hat, we were having a bit of a cold spell, and to support Steve I started to knit...since I have finished it, it has been too warm to wear it! Typical!

(I used Sirdar Country Style 4ply in Magenta)

Cornish Organic Wool Bag

I made this bag using Cornish Organic Wool

I adapted a pattern from Let's Knit Magazine. I changed the brim from stocking stitch which rolled over to ribbing. I also added a crocheted handle

Knitted Babe

Meet Babe....my latest creation :)

Spring has Sprung!

We were just merrily driving along a road on the Isle of Wight at the weekend, when by the side of the road we saw this....isnt he gorgeous!

Rose

I made three of these little roses for my cousin and Aunty. The pearl in the middle is from my Great-Gran's necklace that had broken. The rose was quite simple to make, just stocking stitch with decreases, the hardest part was sewing it up.

Teddy Bear

This is a teddy bear I made quite a while ago, but never got round to taking a picture of, but the sun was shining this morning and my camera was just there, so I seized the moment. This is one of the projects I am most proud of, and it has pride of place on my shelf.

Lacy Pencil Case

This is a little bit of lace I did to decorate my pencil case. I was a bit worried about sizing. It wasnt worth doing a tension square because it was such a little project but it was my first time doing lace and I can never bear to undo my knitting. It was a little wide, but I turned the edges under when sewing it on, and I am really pleased with it.

Wool Delivery

After a big delivery, the wool area is looking pretty!

Knitted Gingerbread House

Last year, I went to see the Knitted Gingerbread House in Brighton. Here are a few pictures of it. Isnt it incredible!

Pullover

This is a pullover I did a little white ago. It is a wildly altered pattern! I made it using Patons Jet as a substitute of Rowan Little Big Wool and it worked really well. Sadly Patons Jet is now discontinued :(

Mini Socks....lots of them!

Lately I've been knitting mini socks...they really are quite addictive little things! I am not sure what I will do with them. They might be decorations for the tree, or if I get 24 I will make them into an advent calendar. Doesnt hurt to plan ahead for once now, does it?
