hey knitters!

Just letting you know I did a little post over on my blog about a london knitting adventure. [:

i think cones of machine knitting wool are my favourite to buy/knit with right now. what's yours?

Miss Marple Scarf.

Hello everyone! I'm back with a quick little post about a cute gift I got for xmas by my mum! She knitted it from THIS website (Skiff Vintage which has some great vintage patterns!)
It's a really warm and cuddly scarf that makes any outfit a bit more fancy!

I'm sorry for the less-than-perfect photos, but it really is a wonderful project. She's made another one for a friend as well in a thinner yarn and it adds a whole new look to it.


Perfect for the winter months when you still want to rock an awesome easy look!

Knitting Vintage Socks.

So, I'm a little obsessed with sock knitting at the moment. [: I'm currently on my third pair ever, and it's wonderful. I bought this book from amazon to give me a bit more inspiration on patterns and things and to my surprise there is a GREAT intro at the beginning talking about how handknit stockings became more popular and how the first evidence of any British sock knitting (really more like leg warmers) was found on a boat in some long-long-time-ago date. If you love knitting and like to imagine victorian (and before!) people sitting around with teeny tiny needles making stockings, then this book is for you! It's of course, got some great patterns, but I haven't even got there yet!

I am so charmed by old patterns and these were adapted from a sweet publication that came out in 'leaflets'. Sounds like a craft zine if you ask me!!! :]

Don't forget to come along to Wednesday Knit2 on wednesday! I'll be there (no doubt) working on my pair of orange and brown socks!

KIYs.....

...or Knit it Yourself's! Here's a few for you to enjoy and make over the New Year break (or now if you're still on holiday)!

Design*Sponge has a great archive of DIYs for all occasions and this includes a few knitted ones! Here we have some lovely knitted glass covers for any recycled jars you may have lying around at home and are using but are a little on the plain side. You will need to know how to knit in the round on DPNs, purl, cable and increase/decrease. They are suited to an advanced beginner or intermediate level knitter.

The Craftster community is also amazing for all things crafty and I found this lovely slouchy Tam on there. It uses 2 colours but you don't need to know Fair Isle or any fancy techniques as each row is knit independently in your colour choice. It is another one for an advanced beginner/intermediate knitter and requires knowing how to knit in the round on DPNs, purl and increase/decrease.

One of my favourite knitters, Stephanie of Tiny Owl Knits, occasionally puts out free patterns and these oh so whimsically beautiful wrist-ees are one of those! Find the pattern here on her blog or on Ravelry if you have an account. And help support her by buying her other fantastic patterns. I currently knit up the Deer Hat with Antlers pattern and can't stop wearing it!

I hope you have liked these few free KIYs and I'll be back soon with many more!
