ss4ss


Spectrum socks for SS. Made in yellow only because of Project Spectrum. He loves them. Again Cleckheaton Country. I gotta get out more. I am definitely over 8ply socks. These are not SS's legs and feet, they are Lil Purls. I assure you they fit him much better!

ss rib beanie



My husband loves to wear beanies, but when he wears a brimless beanie he looks slightly scary and like he may be about to rob someone. This is the perfect colour and style for him, and I am very pleased with it. Made with 1.5 balls of Cleckheaton Country Silk which I found yummy in the extreme. I may well make myself a matching one in a different colour. Very quick to knit. Model not SS but Lil Purl.

silk garden beanie


I love this hat, I only hope it gets cold enough for me to wear it. Capably modeled here by Lil Purl. The plaited cable band is Cleckheaton country 12ply and the top bit is Noro Silk Garden. It is a funny yarn, and not really funny haha. It seemed to be very twisty and became quite difficult to work with. Still, the end result is fantastic, don't you think?

mil scarf


Knitted from the remainder of the CaraMia from the raspberry jumper, this is quite a short scarf but is intended to be worn with a pin and as there is only one right side I think it is fine. Basically got sick of it and used up all the yarn. Not sure how the MIL will like it, but I quite like it. First lace tackled and beaten, although twice I forgot to psso, so two tiny lines missing.

tiny madam bag


I love this! Just a very very cheap yarn from a discount shop at $1 a ball, I used one and a half blended with some salvaged purple wool/acrylic blend from an old Little Purl jumper that was hardly worn. I knitted lots of stitches round and round on 4.5mm circ until it was long enough, made two very quick i-cord handles, whipped out a flower and voila! The perfect bag to take to Branny's.

pink poomphy scarph


This is some random novelty yarn from Spotlight, 'evoke' something, which was quite cheap and chosen by Tiny Madam for a starf as she calls them. In 'pintt' of course!
Two balls would go nowhere near an adult size scarf, but this is just right for a three year old and she loves herself sick in it! Very quick and easy.
