I made a flower in white.

Sometimes …. well…

Library - Knitting partner in crime.

Ollie, ( The original Ollie) was made for my friend Angie, then Caro, said she wanted an Ollie for herself , so Ollie Too was born. Then she commented that she hoped Alex, aged 5 wouldnt steal Ollie…. So Mini Ollie was born. ( I cant resist that young mans charming smile)

I really must stop having silly conversations ( the pattern explains the who, why, what ,etc )

So its a warm Tuesday afternoon. I decide to make a needle/case or book . The original inner piece ? Pfffft didnt like the look of it , one little bit , once that Id made the outer case, so I changed the inner liner, to look like the pages of a book ….clever eh.?.. its a book for needles :)

Another Jess inspired make . Well she will sing the Rainbow song, and I did have the yarn, and was at a loose ned …..

My grand-daughter was singing one of her favourite Peppa Pig songs - Rainbow Rainbow - Red and Yellow and Green and Orange and Purple and BLUE ( with the emphasis on the blue)

Im a bit hazy about size, as I just tend to put the number of loops required to start a garment on my needles of choice and go ( it was the way I was taught) Having to think about whats needed to go into a written pattern isnt coming easy, but Im getting there.

The Beanie that goes with the socks, that will go with the mittens, possibly (if the mittens make an appearance)

These socks came about as part of a conversation , that I had with my knitting friend and partner-in-crime :) I remarked, that I had some black and orangey coloured yarn, and “Wouldnt that look good as a pair of bee stripey socks…..” and so they , the socks,were born….

This edgeing is a garter stitch pattern, that I made as, I needed a fairly broad border, with a row of eyelets as embellishment, to fit around the project I had just finished, in this case an Afghan made from large squares of either crochet or knitting.

A simple pattern.made for my Granddaughter, so she could “turn me into a frog” :)

This project uses small amounts of DK yarn , perhaps no more than 25g per pair.

A simple garter stitch poppy flower pin, with leaf detail.
