Snowy Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Poor Piperkit - not sure if she's embarrassed or posing there! Well I've finished the advent calendar. A bit of a rush job as I thought I had another night to work on it! But my children kindly reminded me that they expected it to be fully functional by 6am tomorrow! In all its glory (I'm afraid my camera really isn't up to close ups in dim light): It has the tiny gold jingle bells along the bottom and top. Every little pocket has some kind of embellishment now, some with beads, stars and ribbons sewn on, others just decorated with glitter fabric paint. I really enjoyed doing them, these are my favourites: Christmas Pud Christmas Tree with teeny gold star on top: Reindeer with a tiny gold jingle bell and gilded antlers: Tree with tiny red beads: It was very fiddly and I don't normally have the patience to do things like this, but I am very pleased with how it's turned out - just hope the boys enjoy it tomorrow!

Egluntyne Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I cobbled together a beanie hat to wear to go out to the hens in this awful weather last night. Did it during the 2 episodes of Coronation Street. I used the most hideous colour I had in my wool stash, to put the boys off the idea of 'borrowing' it. Looks a bit pathetic following directly on from Snowy's masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadietoo Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 A beret and some fingerless gloves for my DD's christmas stocking...also the beret was the first time I've ever blocked anything and it worked well...(although I am wishing I'd knit it a little longer at the back for more drape)...still overall really pleased, and the wool was lovely too...Debby Bliss Cashmerino Aran...very soft and lovely to work with... I also recently knitted a great snood and some funkier fingerless gloves, but took pity on DD when she visited at the weekend and gave them to her early...... all patterns free from Ravelry as already mentioned in my other post. I'm loving the little christmas trees....think they will be my next project!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Socks! First pair of wellie socks knitted for Middle Son: I skimped and tried to get a pair out of a 50g ball. Didn't quite make it hence one sock has an orange toe!! He's gone to bed in them Just about to start a pair for Littlest son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I've just been through the whole thread and I'm very impressed! I can only knit socks, but would love to learn how to crochet and make one of them granny square blankets. I'm hoping my MIL will teach me over Christmas so that I can get started.
