December where did you go

December has flown past so quick, it seems as soon as I picked up my knitting gifts, turned round and they were wrapped and delivered. I love Christmas knitting but this year seems so have flown by so fast, I have not had the chance to really play with the colours and design more.

Here is a few of the Christmas knits I did. I hope everyone managed to get all their knitting done.

Love a bit of bright colour

The great thing about Christmas is the sparkle and all that red , white, green and gold. What more can you want in some bright knitting.
Here is a pair of mittens I did to start my  Christmas knits off.

Did this little cardigan for a Christmas baby. All wrapped up waiting to deliver.

Second little Christmas cardigan done, I used sparkle yarn for the red, it looks so lovely

Mittens or gloves

As the colder weather arrives here in the UK its time to keep them hands warm. What do you prefer to wear Mittens or Gloves?
Here is a new Mitten pattern I have just finished and is very popular already.

Then you have the fingerless glove style which I love for driving

Then you have finger gloves that turn into mittens Watch this space for the pattern release coming soon.

And then of course you have the glove with all fingers covered.

Loving a little pattern on a mitten, then these could just be what your looking for, easy pattern to follow and fun to do.

Bit of fun knits for Halloween

It may be one night a year, but the build up is always so much fun. What better way to keep warm than with a spooky hat.

And for the little ones to join in, they can always have their own little beanie hat.

 

Starting the Winter knits

That time of year again to put away the pastel colours and get knitting the winter warm shades.
Not that I will ever truly put away my baby colours, I just love them too much. Pastel lemon on the go at the moment for a Christmas baby, but of course I will add a few winter pieces as well.

The first of my Winter warmers is this little jacket, It has had some lovely comments already, and one lady has knitted it already in Grey ad blue.




Finished these lovely mittens over the weekend.
So love the deep purple colour.

Knitting a Favourite pattern.

Do you have a favourite pattern? I used to have a couple that came out every time a little one was on the way, now I am getting spoilt for choice and have many.
Here is my latest one done, plus a couple I have done over the past month or two.

Did this in a Paintbox DK yarn, very soft and nice to knit.


 This is so quick to knit and looks so cosy. Knitted in Blue the first time and then a lemon.



This one was requested by a friends daughter, she did not want a girly pink colour.



Love this one, it is so good in all colours,

August already How time flies.

August already, I do not know what happened to my Christmas in July knits !! Time just flew by.

Had some fun the last few days sorting out these little beauties. Back to knitting this afternoon.
