Waving Lace Socks

I have started some new lacy socks, they are Waving Lace socks from the book "Favourite Socks" by Interweave. I am really enjoying knitting them, the yarn is lovely to knit. It is Posh Yarn, Lucia in Stonewashed colour way.

More socks!!!

I have finally finished my "Not for Goths" Fluted Bannister socks, they have been OTN since July so its about time I finished them. They are knitted in 100% sportweight Merino in "Not just for goths" colourway, from Middleearth Yarns. The yarn is fab, they are so snuggly and warm, definately house socks ;)

Christmas Knits started

I have started some Christmas knits, the first is a Chevron Scarf (top picture) from Last Minute Knitted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson, knitted using Colinette Jitterbug in Florentina and Gaugain. It is coming along well and is now about 12 inches :)

The second is a Clapotis scarf knitted in South West Trading Company Bamboo in purplexed. It is a stunning yarn which feels so soft and silky.

I am really enjoying knitting both at the moment but scarves are notoriously repetative so we'll see how I get on ;)

Premature baby hat

This hat took me about 2 hours to knit, it was a lovely easy pattern from: http://carissaknits.blogspot.com/2007/07/preemie-hats-for-charity.html
It is knitted in Sublime baby merino, silk & cashmere and is sooo soft. It is knitted for a colleagues sisters baby, Taylor, who was born 6 weeks early at 4lb 9oz.
It is so tiny I thought I would put the coin in to give it some scale :)

My Swap Bag

Here are some before and after felting pictures of my bag that I knitted for the AY bag swap, it was a variation on the B4 bag by Bloomoon Creations and it was a lovely knit. The beads are glass and it has redy/pink buttons and acrylic handles.

Luckily my swap pal Funkypixie really liked it. All in all a very successful swap!!!

Angel Yarns Bag Swap

Wow I received my bag from my AY Bag swap pal Sonic, it is absolutely beautiful and I am so happy with it. It is knitted in Manos Del Uruguay and the pattern is based on the Stafford bag by Magknits (http://www.magknits.com/June07/patterns/stafford.htm). It is so beautifully made, well done Sonic :)

I also got a ball of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran in a lovely green (to knit some matching Fetchings :)) and some Green & Blacks Ginger Chocolate. What a lovely surprise.
