green squeeky beenee

I knitted this from a horrible plastic cheap huge pile of acrylic that Little Purl insisted on buying. She saw a beanie that had a button on the bottom and wanted one, so I cast on with straight needles for the hem/brim/cuff thing and then swapped to a circular for the rest, then she added the pink hand button. She loves it, and that's the main thing! This is not her, it is a MyModel who has definitely seen better days.

roll brim beanie/hat

Yarn - 8ply Cleckheaton Country. 3.25mm circ then dpns. Pattern does not exist but instructions from Crazy Aunt Purl allowed me to use my yarn, my gauge and my tape measure to make this hat. Eventually. Geez it rolls, and when it does, geez it's short. But now it's done, geez the small child looks cute in it! Love it.

sox

These socks are 8ply, Cleckheaton Country, on 3.25 dpns. I enjoyed knitting them. Mostly. I love wearing them. I may try 4ply. Note the lily white legs despite a long, warmish summer. I don't get out much. Pattern a hybrid given to me by a friend.

posterboy bag

This bag is so cool! I love it. It was quite lumpy and bumpy (it still looks bumpy in the photo but is much better in real life!) but I wet it and ironed the bejonkers out of it, and it looks great. I can't wait to show it off! Cleckheaton 100% 12 ply wool.

odessa

Odessa from Grumperina. I love this, it is like a flapper's cap. Now I just have to work up the courage to wear it! This is another project made from CaraMia, and the beads are glass. I placed the bead in the wrong spot the whole way around, so they are not centred. I don't mind, too much symmetry does your head in.

raspberry jumper

The first jumper I have ever knitted which fits me perfectly and that I will wear. The pattern is from Stitch n Bitch Nation, Flower Power. The yarn is CaraMia which is quite cheap but not at all nasty. This took quite some time to knit, the sleeves had to be redone and I have had a 'business trip' and an illness in the midst of it. About three weeks of knitting on and off and a bit more to actually put the thing together! Since taking this photo I have added a knitted flower, in the same colour as the jumper. It was a bit too plainish.
