Some fingerless mits for Knit4Charity, I'm going to donate to the Knitting for Brisbane's homeless which is in next months charity knits. I need to get knitting as I've only got two things made and want to be able to donate a bit more. These where made using Bendigo 8ply.
And a beanie for the baby girl, knit using Woolganic 8ply, colour Blossom. A customer asked me what this yarn was like to knit with, I hadn't yet used it so thought I better give it a try....a extremely soft wool, so soft I would use it for baby knits, knits beautifully...I haven't yet blocked this hat so I don't know how it washes. I will be using this yarn again (once I've worked through the stash a bit :) ).I've also made a start on my Origami Bolero, I've knit the first panel, the next step is to sew the sleeve seams - I dislike sewing up so projects tend to get left when I get to the sewing point.....
I've also nearly finished a cardigan for the bubba girl, just need to sew some knitted flowers around the edges...more sewing....ahhhhh
Everything I've been knitting lately has been fairly plain, even the Origami Bolero is an easy knit - looks more complex than it is, I've been having 'cravings' to knit something more exciting, trouble is my knitting time is either when bubs is playing by herself so it has to be something I can put down anytime, or at night when I'm usually too tired to tackle charts and complex instructions. Ages ago I bought some Bendigo 5 ply to knit a cables jumper for myself, I've knit about 3 inches of the front and haven't looked at it for months, maybe I should pull that out again.....
