Busy Day!

Finished my sister's scarf in Dee's OOW yarn that came before Christmas. She chose the pattern.

Can't you just tell I had a day off and got to spend it at home with no visitors!

Another finished knit and book

This book arrived today.



I knitted this Crystal Palace bag as a present for an aunt. She's not into handbags but this is more of a shopper or beach bag. :)

Another Cashmerino scarf

In case I've been hiding this, I love knitting with Cashmerino. I knitted this for a BiL for Christmas. The end pieces are black/silver moss stitch with Stocking stitch to wrap around the neck for softness. Again I grafted two pieces together, as if I hadn't enough to do ;) :)

Grafting!!!!!

I've unsucessfuly tried 4 times tonight to graft another scarf which is ready, but for this. Each time I keep getting interrupted and then a mistake happens...........I'll do something else instead but oh the frustration!

Finished without grafting.

I finished this last night and it was fine without grafting. It's for my lovely baby minder for christmas.

Another finished knit

I had knit this ages ago with SWTC Karaoke Bloom. I bought it in the clearout sale at Stash Yarns. It isn't as soft as Karaoke Mermaid, strangely, when knitted but the pompoms are very soft. I was originally going to knit i-cord circles to decorate the ends but I was short for time and also thought the pompoms would be softer. They are. I made the pompoms last night and sewed them on this evening. Voila!

Sideways scarf for Nephew

I knitted this for a 14 year old nephew. I like the fashionable 'sideways' scarves in the shops now, but they are knitted in nasty acrylic. This is in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran. It was one of the nicest/easiest scarves I have knitted recently. I hope he likes it.

Some detail.

Wristbands for nephews

My son and nephews asked

for Man United wristbands
instead of scarves or hats.
I couldn't find a pattern
anywhere so I made it up.
This first one was more of an experiment than anything else but it worked out well.

DB Baby Cashmerino Arglye Vest

A litte detail.


All done, blocking worked a treat Kay Anne, now just to add buttons.

For my Godson

I knitted this my little Godson, he's a big 16 month old (the same size as my 2 year old who is a little fairy child), so I knitted it in the biggest size. I had bought the yarn originally to knit Sherwood but when I got DB Baby Cashmerino book 2 I knew I would be using it for this.

Kay Anne advised me to block it before finishing etc so that the 2 colour work will look as good as is possible :)

Silkwood Contessa Scarf

I knitted this scarf in Silkwood Contessa, a silky soft thick thin wool like Colinette's Point 5. I use Colinette's Poppy pattern from Artyfacts. Another Christmas present.

more scarves

This scarf is knitted in plain black Debbie Bliss Superchunky. It's like butter soft. I will hate giving these up but they are presents :)

This scarf is also knitted in DB cashmerino but superchunky this time. The pattern is from Out of Town and I chose different colours than in the book.

Scarves knitted for Christmas

One of several scarves knitted as Christmas presents. This one is knitted in 3 shades of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran. It is very long and soft.
