More baby blankets on the way thanks to this wonderful lot from Savers in Greensborough. Using 6.5mm needles and garter stitch this knits up lovely and soft and light. This yarn is called Chenille Yarn from Craftworks.

More knitting done, I have cut out 10 toys to sew for tomorrow, but i am really loving knitting at the moment.

Knee Blankets

Whenever I finish a project, and before I start the next project, I knit knee blankets. I do a section at a time before starting my next sewing project. I call it my in between project. I use odd balls of wool/yarn. They are in garter stitch, 4mm needles and 8 ply wool. It is made up of rows that are joined as you knit This saves time and each row is 35 stitches wide. When they are the size want I finish them off by doing a couple of rows around the edge in crochet.

This is the first piece of knitting my niece has made for her baby due in early January. A baby blanket.I am so proud of her achievements. i am now teaching her how to increase and decrease and knitting up a seam and simple eyelet patterns for her to do baby booties.

This is what i am working on currently. Making roses brooches for Christmas. This is what i am making for each of the cloth doll club members 50 of them to go.
