New Knitted Fabrics

Goooooood Morning!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, you may recall from here that the girls were busy creating!  

Well, it got me thinking that there are a few things that I want to do and I always push them to the back of everything else, because sometimes looking after the little peeps and day to day life gets in the way, so this was a time when Bean and Peanut were content doing what they were doing and whilst I was occasionally helping, I could maybe start getting on with some of the bits I wanted to do......

I managed to create all these fabrics.......

Fourteen (14) in total!!!!

Please excuse the creased appearance, but I did not have time to press them, as I was soooooo excited and couldn't wait to share them!!!

I have ideas for their use, I just need to find time to do it, which at this stage is VERY limited! But, I'm not going to complain, as I wouldn't change anything!!!

Well, I best get on.... I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

See you soon!!!!

Hugs

Miniature Cardigan

Welcome Back..........


Do you remember this post? Where I was telling you about my cardigan experiment after the ceiling had collapsed?  


Well here is the finished Cardigan .....

(Bear in mind it has only been hand washed and dried flat, I still need to block it.)

I really like the colours and think it is cute, but I am biased :-) 

But....... here is it's true size........

Yip..... Peanut is wondering if her baby Annabel doll can have this cardi! (It is bigger, but she said "it's fine, she'll grow into it Mummy"...... ahhhh, bless!)

I used a pattern for the sizing, the colours and design are my own choosing, but it is clearly not right!  I know where it all went wrong...... I used a 2 ply wool, rather than an Aran weight, but....... I still enjoyed making it, and I also have a proper sized one on the go as we speak!

Well...... must dash....... got lots to be getting on with!

Have a lovely creative weekend!

Knitting Machine

Welcome Back!!!!


Do you remember me telling you about my catastrophe and how my knitting machine was underneath all the debris????


Well I am happy to report that it did survive, without damage, and I tested it out.......

Everything is working okay, which I'm really happy about.... apart from my calculations! Haha.

This was going to be a cardigan to fit a size 8 person........ I think I'll be lucky if it fits a 3 month old baby!!!  But..... when I've finished it, I will let you see it and explain what happened to it :-) .

So until next time..... happy creating!

Knitting Design

Good Morning everyone!


Well, one of my cushion covers got a hole in, and before I could rescue it, it ended up ripped apart!! I won't go into the details of how this happened...... but it did.


Now...... I don't have much knitted interiors or attire in my house, as almost everything I make is usually for some-one else, either family or customers.


So I decided I would knit a cover for the cushion, but I would have to try and match the colour to the covers we already have, so that it does not stand out too much!


Our other cushion covers are red, brown and beige, so I came up with these........

I couldn't find a brown and my beige doesn't really match, so I thought, never mind, I'll just remake all the covers!!!!

I started off with the stripes and then decided I may even have one with spots!

I like the back of the fabric as well as the front! Decisions, decisions!!!  

I guess you'll just have to wait and see which way I use them....... but that won't be for a couple of weeks, as I am going to be away the rest of this week, so...... until next time, have good fun creating!
