Teeny Tiny Handbags

Posted by Elaine B on Wednesday Nov 16, 2011 Under Bag, Felt, Flower, Gift, Pampootie

Little felted handbag keyrings – the first designs and creations I ever sold!
Feels fantastic when people like what you have made so much that they are willing to pay actual, real live money ! Admittedly these were sold to friends, so perhaps they were being kind but, either way, I was really thrilled and carried on making….

Meditation Cushion

Posted by Elaine B on Tuesday Nov 15, 2011 Under Crochet, Cushion, Gift, Pampootie, Pillow

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…………..

Turtleneck Shrug

Posted by Elaine B on Monday Nov 14, 2011 Under Christmas, Gift, Knitting, Pampootie

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!!

Two Tone Shrug

Posted by Elaine B on Saturday Nov 12, 2011 Under Christmas, Gift, Knitting, Pampootie

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.

Lisa Vintage Purse

Posted by Elaine B on Thursday Nov 10, 2011 Under Bag, Gift, Knitting, Pampootie


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.
