Finally Up To Date

Having not blogged for a long long time I thought I'd post all the little goodies that have dropped off my needles. Am still thoroughly enjoying knitting and am gradually working my way towards a HUGE knitted blanket made up of different designed squares. 4 done, 200 to go!!!!

I am 2 1/2 stone lighter than I was in May, knitting has played a massive part in my evening 'knit don't snack' routine so it's all coming together, my wish to be thin (ish) and my love of knitting!

I have joined my local knitting club with my sister in law who is just learning so once a month we go along and have a nosey at what everyone else is knitting. A lot of it isn't my thing but some gems are emerging!

The knitting group may also help me in my quest to learn crochet, the two go hand in hand yet I just can't seem to get to grips with the hook!

Easter Cosy

Little Cotton Rabbits (website adress in post earlier today) have this egg cosy pattern for sale, worth every blimmin penny, I love it! This one was for my Mum on Mothers Day.

Franklin's Penguin

My nephew Franklin was born in July, he deserved one of my knits so I made him a penguin! Pattern from a book a friend of mine bought me on eBay!

Bunty Bunny

This Debbi Berkin pattern is really easy to knit, I changed the ears on the second one though as I preferred the look of them in moss stitch. Bits of this pattern really helped me making my own bunny pattern (as seen in other post from today). Have had a few 'make me one' requests after people saw these!

Happy Fingers

Mum gave me a pattern, yarn and 5 double pointed needles to make gloves, she has said they don't have to be for her but I will give them to her! I have made one, my first attempt to knit on four needles, it's not too bad, but I expect I'll make 2 more and keep this one as a size guide for future gloves as there's a few things I want to improve on!

Rabbits

As those of you who know me are well aware I have been trying to perfect a rabbit pattern for over a year now! Inspiration came from www.littlecottonrabbits.typepad.co.uk. She makes stunning bunnies and the little jumpers are so beautiful. I am trying now to put my own spin on them so they're not just a copied version, but meet Flo and Hank

Ed the chunky monkey

Have been really playing about with my monkey pattern, I love this new 'fatter' version, he is currently living in a red and white stripy jumper
