A christmas reindeer!!!

It took forever but I have finally worked out how to knit with 5 double pointed needles! Yippeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am making a beautiful reindeer. I am really proud of it. The wool is amazing to knit with as well as being in gorgeous colours. I started my first one last night and am more than half way already!! I might even finish it today as have a long drive up to London. I will keep you posted.

Intense fair Ilse!

Hi!!
Over the last week I have been knitting like crazy as I really want to finish my christmas stocking in time for christmas! At least I don't have to do two sides because if I did I doubt it would be done for next christmas! I have never done fair Ilse before and am starting to get the hang of it! Any tips???? There is a little mistake on one side, but I will just turn it round and hope that Santa doesn't notice!! I hope you like it!!

P.S am still waiting for that wool!

Santa Claus is coming to town

Hi,
happy first day of advent, Ho! Ho! Ho!
This is our advent doll bursting at the seams with goodies! We didn't make it though. But this week i've been busy making some christmas bunting, which is now hanging up on the stair way!
I used some Pom Poms for the top of it, which I'm really pleased with.
Not sure what my next project is yet, any suggestions?

Christmas is coming!

For my birthday last week I got a delightful book written by two men, Arne and Carlos. It has 55 christmas balls which are all beautiful!!. I think my first one will be a snowman!!! The only thing was the lovely wool which they used in the book wasn't stocked in the U.K!! Had to call on America! I bought some 100% wool batting for stuffing which they suggested and has just arrived. So soft! I also got the lovely Dale of Norway "Miela" wool in cherry red and Off white and petrol blue. I hope they arrive on Monday! Will update you when it arrives! I was also going to get a silver and gold but could not find them. I will have another look on the Internet but might have to have it from America!!!!!

Christmas stocking!!!!!

Hi!
Yesterday went round to our local sewing and knitting shop were I bought a lovely pattern for a stocking made with Millamia wool. I have already done tons as is it such a nice project to do in front of the t.v. Lovely wool which was much cheaper than I expected it to be. Only around £5!! It might even be nicer than some rowan wools!!I am making the stocking on the far left!! I wonder what it will look like when it is finished! Cannot wait till Christmas now!!

We have been in Japan for 10 days and got some really nice material I'm going to make a cushion out of! ( I got one metre of it.)

It was a really nice shop with lots of lovely things in. Come back soon to check out how the cushions turn out.

Have a great rest of your weekend

My First video!!!!!!!

Hi!!!!
This is my first video on how to cast on using the thumb method. I was really nervous making it and that's the reason I couldn't do a basic knot at the start of the video but it got easier as I went along. I hope you like it!!!!!!!
