Gosh looking at it all like that makes me tired! .. but knitting is great fun - and wonderful at making use of car traveling! ... i'm also working on a few wee baby things for a wonderful friend of mine .. and wow not only is newborn quick to knit they are so cute and little!!

knitting I've been up to lately

So its not quite a year since I started knitting and I have to say with a great bunch of motivated women you can't help but stay on the wagon, chugging along creating some great items for the wee ones in this house. Here are some photos of what I've been creating lately - Full details are on Ravelry :)

Firstly some swaps i was in:

TNN #1 in 2010 .. i got this Foliage Package ... Yummy LOVE it! you'll see it knitted below ;)

TNN #1 2010 - I sent this Lavender Package

Rebeccas Stripy Pants

Rebeccas Hand Warmers

Earflap Hat

Cute wee Beca ... and a hat i whipped up in 48 hrs!!! (no i wasn't knitting for 48 hours!)

Ravlery Link - with details :)

Beca's Longies are finished!!

Really LOVE knitting this pattern .. this time I magic looped 2 legs at once .. was great to have finished when i got to the bottom of the legs

Love how the wool has knitted up - certainly are original - if you remember back to the First Naki Yarn Swap this is the wool that Trudi gave me!

Look great -- silly me let the sun on them when they were blocking so the front is a touch yellowed :( … But they fit great! .. touch to long so folding up the hem - but that means they will certainly last all winter! WOOHOO

… now planing a avocado hoodie to match YUM!

and of course Ravlery details

Here it is!

So having dabbled in my first batch of dying yarn (completely experimental) i ended up with this:















then after hours of looking through Rav, and not finding anything that i really wanted to knit with the tools i had available i decided to cast on a singlet which turned into this funky wee dress, I'm rather stoked with the result even found a pattern some cute booties - and designed my own headband to match! and heres my Wee Princess modeling it all :)
