Here are some of the knits that earned this knitter a knighthood (or… things I made before I bought the domain!)…\u00a0 work-in-progress…<\/p>\n

Many of these are knitted using needles and yarn bought from charity shops.\u00a0 Now that I can\u00a0actually<\/em> knit, I buy good yarn for making proper gifts… also my stash is festooned with quality yarns given to me as presents!\u00a0 Thank you lovely people \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Teeny Whales<\/h2>\n

Great quick knit to keep the fingers busy…<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Bluebird of Happiness<\/h2>\n

Bit of a grisly end, probably my fault for stuff it with nice viscera-coloured yarn!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Quite a complicated one – done mostly on a long flight (can’t remember when\/where) – involving short rows, picked up stitches etc.\u00a0 Trial by fire, but a really nice result.<\/p>\n

Pattern on Ravelry<\/a><\/p>\n

Late 2016?<\/p>\n

Koala<\/h2>\n

Love the way the ears work on this fella!\u00a0 My first “make pieces and stitch together” piece.<\/p>\n

Baglan hat (Fairisle)<\/h2>\n

Trying to force our friends’ hands with settling on a name for their imminent baby via hat gift!<\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Used a nice simple hat pattern (pattern on ravelry<\/a>).\u00a0 Added lettering by creating a “pixellated” image using Paint.Net.\u00a0 Yes, that’s Arial \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 Fairisle (i.e. carried the yarn behind) Embroidered red flower.<\/p>\n

May 2016.<\/p>\n

First time with DPNs and knitting in the round.<\/h2>\n

Messy, loose, and sloooow… and before I’d learned about doing ribbing with smaller needles etc, but a fun first go!\u00a0 Much of this was done in Australia and on the way home.\u00a0 Have yarn will travel.<\/p>\n

(pattern link pending)<\/p>\n

Original Scarf, 2015<\/h2>\n
