Rosa's poncho!

Here is my beautiful niece Rosa, wearing the poncho I knitted her for her first birthday which was last saturday! Its knitted with essence wool and I made the pattern up, theres a little flower on the hood too but its round the side!

Hats!

a couple of funny hats that my mum made for my sister and I using wool from a crochet scarf she bought in a charity shop and dismantled!! x

Rosie's jumper

Here are my cousins' two lovely children, Noah 4 and Rosie 5. Rosie is wearing a jumper that my nan had just knitted for her using 4ply self patterning sock wool!! wasnt the cheapest wool but i love the effect!!

knitted slippers

I found an easy slipper pattern online the other day (knittingpatterncentral) and decided to make them as a birthday present using 2 slightly different shades of purple dk and a purple speckly wool (patons moonglow) for the stripes! They are really stretchy and even though they look small, they suposedly fit a size 4-7 womens shoe (im a 5). see what you think:

I havnt quite mastered the art of neat sewing up yet as you can see.. but they stay together! The toe is moss stitch and a 'sole' is formed with odd purl stitches, creating the ridge effect you can see. I plan to make some more in different colours and sizes etc....
