Halloween

This was an impulse buy from Savers, I find it hard not to buy wool or go past the colour purple so I bought it. I do however have a use for it. I am going to make myself some fingerless/wrist warmers and a bag to go with my Halloween outfit. It tones perfectly with the ruffles on the coat.

Charity Makes for 2011

Knitted baby booties, mittens and hats all waiting to be sewn up.as well as a crochet blanket.
These were all made since Saturday when i was given by a friend all this lovely yarn for my charity makes. I did not ask for it and it was a wonderful surprise. I am loving all the wonderful colours and textures.
This is the rest of this lovely yarn. Some of it is 3 ply, 4 ply, 5 ply and 8 ply as well as some mohair. I am one very lucky lady.

This is the baby sets so far. Each set has a blanket, cardi, booties, hat and mittens and soft toy I have 5 baby blankets to make and a toy to stuff to complete these sets. The next progress shot will be the bears, rabbits and baby dolls with their quilts. I need to get more bags to put them in first.

Books

I thought i would share with you some of my favourite books. These were bought for me many many years ago for Mothers Day and every year i get them out and make something. either for charity or for gifts.

Pram Blankets

What i am making now is Knitted pram blankets. This is knitted on the diagonal in garter stitch, (every row knit).

and crochet pram blankets. This is just a square in treble crochet.
These should keep me busy for a while.
Both are done using 8 ply yarn.
