I haven’t posted any finished objects for a while and that doesn’t mean I haven’t finished anything - I just haven’t had time to post.

I’m still knitting away to make items to sell for Breakthrough and have just signed up for a stall at the Christmas Bazaar of my friends’ kids school on December 2nd so I’m on a deadline now!

Here are some photos of the items I’ve finished over the past week or so…sorry the colours are not good, I am not at home during daylight hours except at weekends - if weather is good this weekend I’ll take some daylight shots.

Anyway, here goes -

 

A couple of pairs of socks - Opal Prisma in a royal blue knit to a child size (around age 6/7 I think) and a really tiny pair of baby socks knit from the remains of the Opal Lollipop I knit my first every pair of socks from…I underestimated how much yarn was left so there was enough for the little bag as well. I may fill this with lavender or simply put the baby socks in it….

Toddler “elf” hat and booties from red & white double knit. This was some baby double knit yarn my mum donated to me, there is also some orange. I made a hat and mittens for age 5/6 years in red/white/orange stripes with some of it. This pattern was in a magazine I bought the other day and I thought it was fun!

Not too happy with the cast on edge of the hat as it’s a bit loose but otherwise it’s fine.

Two hats and a scarf from bright red baby aran. Colour doesn’t show in this photo at all- it’s a really lovely bright red, very cheerful!

One hat and the scarf are in moss-stitch and another hat as a cable pattern on the front. All are to fit age 2/3 years. The yarn is lovely and soft and cuddly.

Next some more Pixie-feet slippers, I love these. They knit so quickly and look so cute….this is the slippers pre-felting…

and after…

these two pairs were knit from Twilleys Freedom which is the yarn given in the pattern I followed. They only took one wash in the machine whilst the hand-dyed yarn I used for the other pair took 2. However, this time I put an old towel in to help the felting process.

They also turned out slightly smaller than the others. I need to make pom-poms for the twos and sew them on now.

Finally, two more fun-fur scarves, one in a mauve Lion Brand Fun-fur and the other in a deep red eyelash yarn from Paradise yarn in Turkey bought on eBay.

the red scarf is about 3″ wide and 64″ long, 6mm needles, 12 stitches, garter stitch till the yarn ran out - very stylish for Christmas. The mauve is about 5″ wide and 60″ long - 6.5mm needles, 14 stitches, garter stitch till the yarn ran out.

I’ll post some better photos when I get a chance. On the needles at the moment are a pair of socks from Knitting Vintage Socks - Little Child’s Sock in Regia stretch in a Denim colour.

Also, my friend had her baby so I really need to finish the border on the baby blanket and sew it on.
