Hedera sock



I am doing these socks

but I tell you they are doing my head in. I frogged them 7 times and finally go them going. They are definatley not perfect and full of mistakes but I might use this sock as my practice and then frog it and do a real pair. Not too sure yet, I might be totally sick of them by the time I finish.


UPDATE 4/09/07
I have avoided these socks for 3 days and it is offical that they wouldn't fit my big feet , so last night I frogged them totally. Once I work out needle size i might try them again. Oh the joys to have small feet.

Knit, Felt, Felt, and more felting



I made this bag over two nights just to have a go at felting. Here is the pattern

Well it took more time to felt than to knit I think.

2 goes in the washing machine, my machine doesn't do hot water so I had to bucket it in, and i also tried to hand felt with boiling water but in the end it worked.

I thought it would be a good bag for one project things to carry around with

Tiger shorties ROAR




Now these were originally made as longies but I thought they were too small and frankly they weren't getting used so after putting them away for a while I decided to frog them, very heart breaking work but I did it.

Now I have just finished them as shorties and they look so good and so glad I did it .

First photo is the longies and now the shorties

Kidz n Cloth Ribbit, Ribbit





Love the little froggies and i think Flynn does too.

Great fit, sizing and just love the fabric. He has a bit of a LA LA fettish at the moment ( bloody teletbubbies) so he was having fun with La La

ITTI BITTI Fluff heaven




AFter weeks of procrastinating about the blue velour nappy that was at Itti Bitti I decided to get it for Flynn and of course you can't do yourself out of postage so go two Itti boos too.

Love them , the fit, the feel etc and I think Flynn approves

Achilles heal socks finished



These are not as good as I would've liked but they are functional and at least the colours are vibrant.
