Hat and gloves with scarf

I have added another colour, to this scarf I am making I found in my stash a dark blue. I have made a hat and fingerless gloves to make a set. Now I can continue finishing the scarf.

Multi Coloured Yarns

I am using up my spare balls of yarn to make two multicolour scarves each with tassels and possibly a hat and maybe fingerless mittens to match. Scarf width approx 10" Length quite long. A very easy pattern in stocking stitch quick and fun to make. Balls of yarn Made a start Adding more colours

Orange and Yellow Knitted Bag

I made this bag this week, my own pattern. Its knitted with Patons and wool 77% and viscose 33%. It is knitted in stocking stitch. I have this pattern for sale here. My mohair wool arrived in the post and these colours will go so well with the mohair I have already to finish the shawl I am making. I will be going to London to stay with my two daughters can't wait from the 1st of July for a few weeks and to celebrate my birthday, can you believe it I am nearly 64 so won't be doing too much blogging while I am away!

Cardigan and Jumper

Here are the finished knitted chunky cardigan and jumper. The cream off the shoulder is very soft and warm and the blue one too. I added one button as I think it suite this style of cardigan with the thick wool better than all buttoned up. I think that both of them look quite good.

Knitting a Cardigan and Jumper

Jumper and Cardigan

After making two cardigans and a sweater from scrap yarns I asked my two daughters if they would they like me to knit them a woollen.  Fiona said yes please either an off the shoulder cream chunky or a black Chenille and Michelle said yes too and chose blue colour.  It was an easy choice as I found this pattern ideal! a cream chunky off the shoulder, quick to knit on 12mm needles. Then I found a stripy cardigan pattern using blue throughout with a moss stitch ribbing.

I have made the back and fronts of the cardigan, still have the rib around neck and fronts which I hope will knit up nice and neat, and the sleeves. And the back and front, both alike, of the jumper and sleeve.


I knitted this cream jumper with two strands of chunky knit and thought that would be thick enough but I think it could do with a thicker yarn and may have to start again. I dont really mind as it is very quick to knit.
