Fit for a baby

Hello,

I've been busy making a hat for a soon to be new born baby. It's the first project I've knitted and I've nearly finished it. 

I'm also in the middle of making some jubilee bunting. I haven't got that far yet and I'm just stared to pin the bunting. I'll keep you posted on how I get on. Maisie x 

Baby Blanket!

 My knee is feeling better and have just taken off my huge bandage. The doctor has said that I need to rest  it and am having the stitches taken out in two weeks. Am hobbling along for now but it should soon get better. I think I'll stick with knitting for week or so!
Have been knitting a baby blanket and it is so nice! I am using some very nice Debbie Bliss wool called cashmerino aran. I have not used very much Debbie Bliss wool as mainly use Rowan but I love the colours I am using and the softness of it is lovely! It is also a very easy knit. I know I should finish a project before I start planning my next but I have found a nice pattern for an embroidery in a Cath Kidston book. Here is a picture of the blanket.

hazardous hobby!!!!!!!

Reporting from A and E as have a sewing needle in my knee! Don't know how long it has been in there but became infected. We thought it was a little piece of dirt but NO! Sewing does have it's consequences! Am going to have an general anaesthetic. Have been here since 7.45 and it is now 3.30. Have moved from 1st to 4th on the list. This is going to be a long day!

Knitting in the Alps

Just had a week skiing in Alp d'huez.I was knitting away secretly in my spare time making a hat for my dads birthday. I just managed to finish it  in time for the big day. My dad wore it the next day on the way to the airport. The wool was so nice!It was called rowan lima. So soft!:) I am just about to start a lovely moss stitch baby blanket for a new born baby. Daddy said - "I love it! Better than anything you'd get at the shops! Perfect fit too!"

Comfy cushion

I have been doing lots of sewing these last two months. I made a cushion for my grandma 's room when she comes to stay with us. It took a little while as we had our friend with us so there was lots of chatting. It took ages to pin the trimming on but I am really pleased with the result.
 Come back next week and see how we are getting on. Have a lovely Mothers day tomorrow. Maisie xxx :)

Another hat finished!!!!!!

I made a hat with very nice Rowan wool. The wool was so soft and cuddly:). It didn't take as long the other ribbed hat and the pattern maybe my favourite. This hat was made specially for my other uncle. It was for his birthday. It has been very annoying not being able to put it on the blog as it was a surprise so it is great being able to post it now.  I now have both of my two uncles both with my homemade hats! I just need to find some more uncles now!

Happy Half Term Sewing!!

I had very busy half term but managed to squeeze in a day of sewing! I had a great time sewing with my friend. We both made envelope bags. It was great fun even though I stabbed my finger with a pin by accident OUCH! About to go off to a sewing party so will back to much more stuff to put on the blog:). I think I will make a bag.

My friend's bag.

My bag full of stuff!

Sewing heaven!
