Möbius scarves

More, Woodland Grave by Luise O'Neill,

 

This one is a gift for a friend for her birthday.

 The green one is mine!

 Both have been knit with handspun yarn

Last primary school teacher gift

The last primary school teacher present I will have to make.  It is Cameron's s final year at primary school.  I love this pattern, Woodland Grace, by Luise O'Neill. Using handspun merino yarn.

Spring Shawl.

 

 

The original pattern is called Spring Shawl, by Emma Fassio. It's a gorgeous shawl pattern (when you read it correctly! I made a mistake in reading the original pattern, and decided to make the error into a design feature, instead of ripping back 10-15 rows. This is handspun merino and black silk.

3 Hour cowl, that took me 6 hours

Obviously I am not the world's fastest knitter, and this project was a good indictation that I must be a slow knitter, (although I wouldn't have thought so), anyway, this cowl is lovely.

I bought this handspun silk on the Isle of Skye at The Shilasdair Shop. The silk has been sitting in the stash for a long time, as I have not found a pattern that I thought would show of beauty of the yarn.

Pattern 3 Hour Cowl by Ijeoma Oluo

It was a fun pattern to do, and knits up really quickly. I think this pattern would be interesting made up with some art yarn.

Art Yarn Handwarmers

I knit the art yarn into hand warmers to see how they look and feel.

No pattern, just played around until I found the "right" amount of stitches to put on the needle for a comfortable fit over my wrists.

I love the randomness of the colours

Claudia's 18th birthday present, my Möbius #2

This möbius scarf is very addictive.

At the end I added a simple K2tog, YO for the lacework pattern

Taught by Bernadette how to cast on the Cat Bordhi way, I have fallen in love with the Möbius scarf.

This one is using handspun yarn I chain plied.

2012 Tour de France project.

This year while watching the Tour de France, I knit this vest.  It's been on the to do list for many years.

The pattern is from Patons book, #1235, called Asymmetric Wrap Vest.

Lacy Rib Socks

These socks have been on the needles for a few years.
Finally completed them.

Pattern, Lacy Ribs Socks by Wendy Johnson

Left over blankets...

So I have a leftover sock wool blanket, for the left over sock wool I have from projects, and balls of sockyarn I bought, but don't want to use it for socks.
Pattern is Ten Stitch Blanket by Frankie Brown (I am only using 5 sttiches on this one)

and, I have a leftover-leftover sock wool blanket for the small bits of leftover wook from the 1st blanket.
Patterns is Ten Stitch Twist by Frankie Brown

Now I have started my 3rd leftover blanket, using handspun yarn I have leftover from projects, as there is no way I can possibly throw out left over yarn that I have spun.
Pattern is called Lizard Ridge by Laura Aylor

Premmie Beanies and scarves

With some left over Rico baby wool, I made these beanies and sent them up to the premmie ward that Alexander spent some time in after he was born.
Pattern from Carissa Browning, Premmie Hats for Charity.

With some left over yarn in the stash I made 8 scarves for our charity run at out Spinners and weavers group.  These scarves went to the Prahan Mission.

No pattern, just cast on and knit each row until wool runs out.

Baby Jackets

Using up left over handspun yarn, I made a few baby jackets.

Pattern is Baby Yoda Sweater, by Cari Luna

It is such a great pattern to follow, and something small that can fit into your handbag, and knit while waiting to pick up kids from sports and school

Mobile Mittens

Alexander asked me to knit him a pair of mittens for riding to school.  It is getting cold here.

Pattern is called Mobile Mittens by Maria Moesby
Yarn, Naturally Vero

Handwarmers

A few pairs of handwarmers for the Fingers and Gloves exhibition at the Guild.

No pattern used, just cast on 40 stitches, K2,P2 until I ran out of wool.  Fergus was very helpful modelling these

Toddler dresses

Pattern by Lion Brand Yarn, called Sweet Sweater Dress

using handspun wool.

198yards of Heaven

Handspun fibre from Alaska, "A tree huggers wife", I managed to knit this little shawl.  My first attempt at chain plying.

 

It's really warm around your neck, and so soft.

 

Pattern is called 198 yards of Heaven by Christy Verity

 

Justin's hat

Handspun black merino top, finally knitted into a slouch hat for Justin's 21st.

Justin's birthday was in October 2011, and finally I finished this in March 2012. Lucky he has forgiven me for being so late.

 

Pattern is called Graham by Jennifer Adams

I made it a bit longer

Kelly's Shawl

Kelly's birthday is in December.  Lucky that she loves me enough to know that I am usually late with her birthday present.  Last year has been no exception, so I haven't let me track record down.

 

The pattern is "Summer Flies" by Donna Griffin

Yarn is Misti Alpaca Lace Solid on 5mm needles.

 

The shawl is so soft and light and the main thing...Kelly loves it!
