Winter Holiday

Well! It has been a very cold December which has been good for my knitting needles in the first half of the month. I have been knitting hats, scarves, mittens, gloves and neck ponchoes. Then I got a very bad cold that lasted ten days. Not nice when you are stuck indoors and BORED. I am feeling much better now and looking forward to new year.

I wish you all the best for coming year.

A winter warmer for Sue.

Latest projects

It has been awhile since I have posted mt latest projects. I have been very busy and on top of that rather tired. I have done a lot of knitting in the little time I have had to do any.

Aran Cabled Beret

I love this beret. Not sure it will suit me though.

It would make a perfect gift for winter with a lovely scarf to match. What do you think?

Project I am working on

This is for me.

Super Chunky and perfect for the Winter.

My first crochet project

I am very pleased with my first cowl.

Made with Bamboo cotton.

Alpaca hat and scarf

I thoroughly enjoyed knitting this hat and scarf set. Took a few days but the end result looks wonderful.

Winter Warmers

We will soon be needing our hats and scarves looking at the weather we are having.

Bee's chunky scarf

King Cole Comfort chunky yarn is divine.

I started this scarf this afternoon and I am just loving the feel of it. It knits well.

Hats! Hats! More hats!

Beanie hats are very popular. Close friends and family are regularly asking me to knit them one. Originally, all the hats would have the same design and some people would ask for two maybe three and that was when I started trying out different designs based on the stitches, patterns that I know that would suit a beanie hat style. Cables was a design suggested by friends.

So here are some of my attempts.

No! The blanket is not one of the designs. :-)

That was an Alphabet Train Blanket thatI finished two weeks ago. Pleased with it but I think next time I would use a chunky yarn instead of DK yarn.

Beret

Throughly enjoyed knitting this beret. I don't wear berets as I don't think they suit me. You have to know how to wear them but I must say it does look nice.

Frog

My latest creation.

Feel free to comment.

Hi. I have been very busy knitting baby blankets, beanie hats for men and women, neck ponchos. The list goes on and I am still knitting other things too. Here are some pics of my latest projects.

UPDATE

It has been several months since I have posted on my blog. I have been very busy with work and then I was ill for several weeks and now I am on the mend. Not much knitting was done for a few weeks but now I am back in the swing of things I have knitted a baby blanket and lots of neck ponchoes, fingerless gloves and beanie hats. All items that we need for this very cold weather we have been having.

Here are the baby blankets that I am knitting at the moment.

Oh1 I have added a Child's Aran knit cardigan that I recently completed.
