Luvachicken Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I adore the penguin diary cover, knitted wreath, jewellery ..........etc..... Well done all I love that wreath too (as well as all the other gifts of course) but how can you tell it is knitted ? I was hoping it was crocheted so that when I finally master that skill I could make one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the blue one Luvachicken? I think it is crocheted too, not knitted. But my knitting skills are non-existing. So who knows...! My scarf is crocheted too, but in a stitch I've never seen before! Something I have to investigate further! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much to my secret santa, I love my gift and my mum is Whens the nest swap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyBean2605 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 got the pictures the wrong way round nevermind, you get the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Great gift and I love the fabric. I've not seen a triangle one before and the ring and thread to hold it together is different. We need a tutorial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My scarf is crocheted too, but in a stitch I've never seen before! Something I have to investigate further! Oh yes Cat tails, the blue one with the snowman and snowballs and little bit of bunting through the middle. Well, I have neither skill but was hoping it was crocheted as my Mum was adamant it was knitted - now I can tell her she was wrong Great gift and I love the fabric. I've not seen a triangle one before and the ring and thread to hold it together is different. We need a tutorial Plum, I think there was how to make one on one of those Kirstie at Christmas programs, although it may have been a while ago. I think I need to learn some new skills ready for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I owe my 'elf' an apology! It's obvious to anyone who isn't slightly penguin-obsessed that this is, in fact ... a robin! I still love it, and yes it was obvious once I looked properly and saw the red tummy! I should have added in the description of mine that it is all (according to my elf) made from upcycled materials, Kirstie would be proud of you!

Egluntyne Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Here are mine. The picture does not do them justice as they are really lovely. Sorry it seems to be upside down, but photobucket won't co-operate. Thank you again to my swappee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Jane Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 This is my beautiful bunting - all my visitors have admired it. And my hot water bottle cover, which I love and which matches my bedroom... Excuse the sizing - I have been wrestling with photobucket for almost an hour, and it just wasn't working for me this morning Thank you so much to my talented swapee, I love my gifts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Ohhh I do love snowflakes I am trying to learn how to make a beaded snowflake - might have mastered it in time for the next swap On a different note, a snowflake crystal landed on me a couple of years ago and it really was beautiful, I mean of course I have seen snow before but never a crystal, just loved it.

kinsk Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Still to post my pics, I have taken them just need to upload them. Some amazing gifts, we are a lucky bunch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Snowflakes look really neat. Love the hottie I could have done with that last few days. Keep trying Kinsk you can do it. It takes me ages nowadays with photobucket. Anyone have an easier way? It would be so good if we could load pictures direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
