midwinter! due to increased indoors time i have been finding a bit more space in my week to make things which has been lovely.  have a couple of knitting projects on the go and have made a few more woodland creature items which i have added to the felt shop....

knitted cushion project

have been playing around with making knitted cushions this week.  am loving the chevrons on this knitted square.  i used an old jersey for the back of the cushion and attached buttons along the side for the cushions opening.

'little sister's dress' knitted in the round

after enjoying knitting my son's hat in the round, this week i have started a 'little sister's dress' in the round for my daughter.  the pattern is from the excellent www.ravelry.com website and is a gorgeous tora froseth design.  a bit more challenging so i will let you how it goes!

woodland creatures mitts and cosys

have made another batch of woodland creature kitchen accessories this week.  above are the oven mitts and below are the blanket lined tea cosys.  all of which will go into the felt shop....

its all about knitting this week in the garage.  not only have i finished off my first knitting project for the season but have collected a few choice knitting needles and patterns to boot.

hat knitted in the round

just finished this hat for my son who has been bravely scootering off to school everyday without a hat, brrrr! this hat should keep both his head and ears toasty warm.  loved knitting in the round as the hat is seamless which means no sewing up at the end.

knitwear for the kids

have these great kids knitting patterns, including some vintage ones for inspiration

knitwear for the ladies

couldnt resist these!

queens birthday weekend

                       

this seems an appropriate image for the weekend, found this great letter from the queen's 1963 royal visit to new zealand addressed to the school children of new zealand.  safe travels everyone whether it be by royal cruiser liner or more standard means over the weekend.
