beautiful bunting

hi,

This is a post that I meant to post ages 

As an end of term present for one of my teachers this year,  I made some bunting out of some colourful Cath Kidson fabric and some striped ribbon instead of the usual bias binding. We went to a sewing shop called Beyond Fabrics in Colombia flower market where I bought the ribbon, and they where selling their own bunting which had ribbon on so thats where we got the idea. The shop owner told us  that putting ribbon on was much easier than putting bias binding on but it wasn't !!! (it took double the time than it normally would) My teacher loved it though and is going to hang it up in her class next year ( And it looked really pretty with ribbon on!)

Have a great week

Cosy cushions!

Hi!

I have been very busy knitting some beautiful cushions with the best rowan book ever, winter warmers. It has loads of really easy patterns in it hat look really effective. I have been making moss stitch heart cushions, one for my form teacher as an end of year present and one for my godmother's birthday. This cushion is called a moss stitch cushion because the heart inside the border is knitted in moss stitch.. It is knitted in alpaca chunky. It only uses over half a ball, so still have tons of the second ball left. Any ideas what i could do with it??

I forgot to take a picture because I gave them away but my godmother has promised she will send a picture so will update you as soon as I get the pictures, I have got a picture of the wool for the moment though. Have a nice summer!

Bye!

Cosy Hot Water Bottle

Hi!
I have had this Debbie Bliss Hot Water Bottle kit for ages and my mum and I decided that we just had to sew it up quickly other wise it would never get used! I got it for christmas and finished the knitting of it quickly but never got round to sewing it up. It is in a lovely blue and a really nice cream. In the picture you will see that the neck is white. This was not in the original pattern! Unfortunately there was not enough wool in the kit so I had to use the cream wool which was for the flower. I was lucky that it didn't use that much wool as my stitches were tight and I still have enough to go on the front of the hot water bottle. The flower is in the making as we speak.

Happy knitting!

Five hour cardigan

I have been making a cardigan which should take five hours. I am hoping that it will only take five hours, but I am already an hour and a half in and haven't even finished the yoke yet! It is looking great though. It will be so cute when it's done. It is in a Debbie bliss wool which is really lovely to knit with. I will update you next week on how it goes.
