Autumn colours are so lovely to knit

Started my Autumn colour knitting this weekend. The sun was shining but very breezy so it seemed a good time to start.
My first hat knitted is this lovely patterned beanie.


Here is the matching cardigan, I loved how it knitted up.

Cute Booties are fun to do.

Loving these cute little booties I am doing for a friends baby girl. I am so lucky I have so many lovely people to knit for.
Booties and bonnets are so quick to do and always fun, don't you think?


Did these for a friend, loved the colour so pretty.

Bright start to the day.

How wonderful I feel to have got up to a few nice emails and a wonderful review about one of my patterns. I had to share with you as it has brightened my day.

This is part of the email, as an independent designer this is so lovely to read.

I made it too, also in a bright green, for a one-year-old boy, and I made another in pink for a newborn girl. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photographs of them.

The pattern was very well written, detailed and easy to follow. I was delighted with the finished garments - as were the mothers of the two babies. 

It was this little cardigan that was mentioned.

July Joy for sales

Oh my goodness the first week of July has gone already, and I am waiting on my squishy yarn to arrive : ) Not sure if it is a good thing or bad, but the Loveknitting yarn sale has some gorgeous colours, I just had to buy them.
I have even planned what to make with some of the colours.
So looking forward to me parcel.

Knitting in the sunshine

Well the weather has been good these past few days, it has been so nice to get in the garden.
Knitting in the sunshine is so wonderful it melts the stress away.
The only downside is hot hands making the stitches stick on the needles, I can live with that to stay out in the sunshine.
I am working on this beauty at the moment.

It has been a while

Well it has been a while since I did a new post, many reasons adding to running out of time. I thought about closing my blog but have had a couple people ask me to carry on because they like to see what I am knitting next.
So back I am posting one of my last knits to share with you. I hope you like it.

Summer cardigan to brighten up a summer outfit.


Glad I carried on blogging, look at this gorgeous version of my summer brights cardigan, knitted by a friend for her grand daughter.

What is on your needles

Well it is nearly the end of April, time has been against me for blogging, designing and getting stuck into a new project.
Been a very busy month with family and friends, which is what life is all about enjoying your days. Knitting of course is always the icing on the cake, but don't tell Hubby that he thinks he is !!

April was productive on finishing projects that have been a round for a while, only managed half, but hay half done not half left is what counts. Here is a few of the finished pieces.

Finished this one, buttons to be added then it is being gifted to a beautiful little girl. Gorgeous colour for summer.

I managed to get this one done beginning of the month, it is the second one in this colour lilac, it is so sweet. I love it.

                   
Did this little set for a friends charity event coming up in May. I am going to do a second set in White as well.
