Karen's scarf!

My first experience of lace work! I really enjoyed this and apart from the frustration of trying to frog sections that went wrong (very hard to do with patterns like this I've discovered) I really enjoyed it!
This WIP photo shows the colour off to the best advantage.



Leftovers....

Rather than waste the leftover grey acrylic I made Chef a lovely ribbed iPod cosy!! Of course now I'd do it in the round but then, it was folded in half and sewn up!

The world's shortest scarf!

I love this scarf and the pattern was alot of fun, but why oh why did I listen to the pattern and only do 43 rows??? Very peculiar and so short it barely goes round my neck! Teen has taken custody of it and now wears it like a cravat!

If you go down to the woods today.....

When your children cry "Mummy, knit me a teddy" what can you do but pick up your needles?
Brown yarn courtesy of a 99p mystery lot of yarn from eBay! Scarves from leftover Debbie Bliss cotton from the stripey bag!



Jolly red socks!

My 2nd attempt at socks, and my first actual pair. Made with superwash wool with merino these were dead cheap and dead comfy!

My first experience of double pointed needles and socks!!!

Made as an experiment on huge needles with cheap nylon I only made 1 as I wasn't intending to wear acrylic socks!
