Intarsia name banner

So I have a new small person to knit things for, and I took this on with gusto managing to get this done within a week of her being born! I was hoping for 'Jane' but what can you do...Annabelle it is!

A banner in All Seasons Cotton. Hopefully will encourage people to Knit!

Baby Clothes

So I am soon to be an aunty (my boyfriends sister is having a baby)! An obvious excuse to knit very cute little outfits for a new small person. I have done a 4ply baby grow and 4ply garter stitch cardigan in gender neutral shades. I can not wait to find out if it is a boy or girl as this will allow for more specific (read colourful) knitting projects!

Rita Raccoon

The second 'oddbob' knitted from Donna Wilson's book, Knitted Odd-bod Bunch. This is Rita Raccoon! Her tail is about 35cm long but she is only 20 cm tall. This is just for me, I needed a raccoon break form knitted a 4ply baby cardigan that is really tedious.

Here is Donna Wilson's website:

Fair isle hat take #2

This is my second attempt at this hat pattern. The first one was fine, just small. It was the right size to the pattern it just would not fit most peoples heads! I need to find it a home with a small headed person.

To make it big enough, I added in a repeat of the pattern and knit it on a size larger needles. Posted it to the recipient last week, only 6 weeks after Christmas...

SNOOOOOOD!!!

SNOOD! A free Rowan pattern off their website. I used the same King Cole yarn as I did for the cape. I think it could have done with an extra repeat of the cable pattern to go round the shoulders as it looks a bit stretched. If I knit it again I'm definitely doing that.

Christmas hats for two little girls

In the spirit of Christmas I dived into my yarn stash to knit some little gifts for a two little girls in the family. I adapted a Debbie Bliss pattern for the larger size as the pattern only went up to 24 months and they eldest is 4. I love making tassles.
