Getting bigger all the time.....

I got bored this morning, so I made a mushroom :D

These are the spots on top :)

Sinead's Doll

So it was my boss's niece's birthday this week so I made her a doll :)

Took me aaaaages to hook all the hair but I was so proud of it when I was finished!

I even added a little bow :)

The back of her dress is a simple strap :)

Cushion Cover for a friend

A good friend of mine recently moved, and is in the process of decorating her living room, so she asked me really nicely to make a cushion cover for her.


This is what I did :)

It's pretty much just rounds of DC, and then the spots are the same, just 2 rows and then sewed on. I made ties for the top in SC .

My hello kitty inspired Amigurumi

Ok, so I've downloaded a few patterns, and attempted this one, I'm really getting into my Hello Kitty stuff, so this one was an attempt at a Hello Kitty dressed as a mouse. It hasn't turned out TOO bad but not as well as I had hoped, I only had the pattern to go on, no images, so the face is a little bit out I think....

And this is the back...

I do love the little tail though :)

New Baby Set for Vicki

Ok, so this took me the best part of a week, on request from a friend of mine, she chose the colours (well, black and purple, I chose the shade of purple though) and I am really pleased with how it's turned out, I even learnt edging while I made this!


I used a 4mm hook as I do in all my work, and I only used DC and HDC stitches.

I made a beanie 

And mittens

and booties

I started by making granny squares and sewing them together

And then I learnt how to do a frilly border simply as 2DC across

It's roughly as long as an average table is wide . I just hope she likes it!

Baby Set for friends

I am really quite proud of this.
I started knitting a blanket, in plain knit stitch on 8mm needles, and it took me literally MONTHS to get anywhere . It looked like this...

Initially, I really liked the effect, until I discovered Crochet.

I knitted some booties too...

A pattern sent to me by a friend, cast on 20, make 6 squares, sew together...all in plain knit stitch, took about 4 hours, on 4mm needles.

Then when I got the hang of Crochet I restarted the blanket, and this took me 2 days..

Simple Granny Square design, continued and colour changed every 3 rounds :) 

then I made mittens, which took me about an hour for the pair!

and then finally a little baby beanie...

This completes the little black and red baby set I made for some friends who are having a baby  in October, all I have to do now is mail it :)
