Knitted up this item on circular needles using some balls of wool left over from previous felted bags. Used alot more of the cream wool this time , and stripped it with some non felting yarn as well for effect. Am still deciding where to go with this project, had all sorts of ideas. Was initially going to sew denim pockets on to it, but my daughter when bllaahh....so I guess not !
I have knitted up a shape and was going to sew it on to the front as a pocket, but then I got the idea of maybe using that as the closure for the top. I,ll see how it goes and post a pic when its done. Don't know why this project hasn't come together quicker...ah well. I think I know why...coz I started this blog ..lol now I,m spending MORE time on my laptop than before....




Put these cushions together for my daughter last Christmas so they would match the colours in her room. Sewed the knitted fronts onto metalic purple cushion covers and they didn't turn out too bad. They look great on her bed....when she makes it ...




More of my furry little friends ..lol Love the contrast of the white with the brightly coloured bobbles.



And other one..... anyone want a cosy ..lol
Found a few more of the "Teacosies" I made last year. They really are so much fun to make. I love the fact you can use any yarn and the brighter more textured they are the better...well I think anyway lol


Love this one, it fits any size pot, just fits right over the top.




This one is tiny, love it coz it's purple lol





Knitted this jumper early last year for my husband to be at the time, so he could wear it in Tasmania on our honeymoon .It had been 23yrs since I had knitted a jumper ! So this was a huge feat for me at the time.He loves it, so thats all that matters. And I followed a pattern !!! Pat on the back for me lol





Ah my trusty lill friend, my eyes case...er glasses case. Made from some yummy 100% wool gathered from Spotlight and Bendigo Woollen Mill....(love that place ). Got really bored at a fair I was trying to sell stuff at, forgot to take any knitting so ended up sewing the beads and hearts all over it for something to do !

I love making teacosies... I have made all my friends one. I just ask what their fav colour is and and make them one that suits their teapot. I think all teapots deserve a cosy !!!!
This is my " I dream of Jeannie " one.



This one reminds of me of something off" Sesame St"




A everyday hat the was made of jumper left overs. Its really soft and goes with everything "purple "




This one was made to be sold, but I fell in love with it. Every row is a different colour. It did take awhile to knit and sew ALL the threads in.....






This lill black number was experiment in slouching. It worked well using really soft yarn. It has a purple/green trim and gets worn lots. Made a lill scarf to go with it..nice combo.
