Pictures...

Hello there! May I wish you all a belated happy and healthy New Year. With Christmas being over and life back to normal, I now have time again to tend to my blog...here are a few pictures to start the year...

Firstly, the Advent Calendars for my children. I have to say, they were a big hit and very gratefully received! They had them numberless this year and have asked if I would sew numbers on them for next year. Blue felt ones on the cream set for my dear daughter and cream ones embroidered onto the blue for my son. As you can see, I have made a start!






Next I have a Christmas mitten ornament for my friend using the same pattern as the Advent Mitts...




and a bauble using a snowflake chart by Erssie Knits which is one of my first attempts at fairisle!



My lovely scarf was knitted with Katia Ondas. Started Christmas Day, finished Boxing Day. Its soooo soft and light and very, very pretty. Interesting to knit with - its like stretchy netting!





and finally I leave you with a Jean Greenhowe Little Darlings doll for school. They need little dolls in uniform to pop around the displays showing pupils' work...sweet huh?



I must also tell you that my beautiful Lace Advent Scarf was sent to the frog pond. It ended up sooo narrow and long that I knew it was not meant to be. I will however, be casting it on again further on in the year making it as wide as the pattern intended ;~)
