Pampootie

A special cushion I designed and made for a friend. Crocheted in the round with lots of different yarns – mainly wool and silk. I’m pleased how it turned out as I didn’t know what would happen…it evolved! Delighted to say that Berni loved it. Happy meditating…………..

Knitted from a  Teva Durham pattern, this was a Christmas gift for my Mum. She loves this and wears it a lot – especially when walking as her arms get chilly. She also wears it as a scarf with the sleeves wrapped round her neck – versatile or what!!

Here’s the latest shrug from my needles – a Christmas present for Mum. It’s Stephanie Japel’s shrug from ‘Fitted Knits’. My first attempt at ‘top down’ knitting and it’s so easy. I used one colour, rather than two as the pattern suggests and instead added some gauzy kid silk haze to the edges for a delicate look.
I’m really pleased with it and Mum is too. More pics on Ravelry.

A small bunny egg cosy, with big bunny ears. My very own crocheted interpretation of the knitted Noblin Bunny by Abi Flynn Jones (magknits April 2006).

A little zippy knitted purse insipred by the green and pink flowers on the piece of vintage fabric used to line it. This gorgeous fabric came from my Grandma some years ago and I’ve always loved it and wanted to make something pretty with it.
