Almost Complete

The knitting project I started a couple of months ago is about 95% complete - just one more band to knit and some side seams to sew. I'm finding it very hard to make myself do it though!

New Knitting Project

I bought the yarn, a mohair/wool blend, ages ago. Finally found a pattern I like, and am about to start knitting.

Sock

I need a knitting project for the winter, not sure what though. Last thing I made was this sleeve for my kindle.

Crochet

While browsing in a shop today I saw this amazing handmade throw and met the crafter who made it. So beautiful! Made my fingers itch to do some work with wool again.

I'm nearly finished my latest knitting project, but am about to run out of wool. Rats!

Blankie

I'm so pleased Trixie seems to love the mini-rug I knitted for her (spoilt little princess).

Stitch


I finished another woolly hat today. This pattern was really fun to knit.

Hats Off


For the last few months I've been knitting woolly hats in my spare time. Today I attached little tags, parcelled them up and sent them on their way to my friend Carla who runs a farm stall on the Garden Route. Hopefully she will be able sell a few... it is certainly cold and wintery enough to wear a knitted cap at the moment. Now I need a new project!

New Yarn


I get excited about new balls of wool... so many possibilities! I think I'll be knitting these two up into a woolly hat.

Knitting Needles


I'm making an effort to finish a knitting project that I put aside mid-year. Progress is slow.
