Doll dressing is always fun

As requested I have started a doll collection for all to enjoy. It is always fun picking outfits. Then you can mix and match to make your own style. Who said dolls were just for little girls !
These cute outfits will fit 18inch dolls like the American Girl, Our generation.

Wanting to be a little different I designed this sweet cardigan with beads on the fronts , great for some one wanting to learn bead knitting as it is not to big pieces. Looks really great finished.

It has to be done

I know it is only September but you just have to start your Christmas knits now or they will not get done. With so many lovely patterns around it will be hard to choice where to start.
This is one I did last weekend.

Christmas Baby Set


I do love my little blanket projects and this is so good for a beginner or more experienced knitter because you can mix and match the squares to what you like doing. What a great way to learn how to do cables on a small square.

Getting colder started the winter knits

I cannot believe how quick it is turning cold,. The good thing is it gives me more time to Knit (and that is a bonus anytime)
My latest creation is proving very popular so I thought I would post for all to see.

August time alraedy

Well what happened to July turned round and August was here. Started my Christmas in July projects between the start of autumn knits and that was it, August arrived.

Here is a cute little cell phone design that was fun to do. You can make the strap longer and have a little cross body purse.

More planning for Halloween ideas

Finally one Blanket finished or a lovely wall hanging as my friend has said she is going to make. I made a couple of cushions as well using the same pattern.

Well I got a little side tracked from the blanket and did a baby cardigan and these two little cuties.
I must get back to finishing the blanket otherwise Halloween will have come and gone. I suppose the good thing is it can be put away and used each year.

Been a busy couple of weeks with family and friends but still find time to knit, it just has to be done I would go mad without my knitting.
Here is some of what you can see coming to my pattern store later this month. The blanket is not stitched together yet, work in progress. It was really fun to knit not to long a project, the puzzle of getting the squares together and sewing has been the longest part.

Planning ahead can be fun.

Could not resist knitting up this lovely colour even if I am in the middle of other projects. The neck warmer looks so cosy and warm I did a slouchy hat to match. The pattern looks harder than it is to do, the rib pattern for the back of the neck warmer matches well and would make a lovely scarf if knitted longer.
Plenty of time to get those needles clicking for the fall weather, if like me you have a pile of projects stacking up it is good to have patterns sorted ready to do.
Always happy when I am Knitting.
