Knitting news!
Marie Curie socks with contrasting cuffs and toes in bubblegum and heels in butterscotch, sent to the flower power fund.
Honeycomb mitts for my son in the dead men tell no tales colourway by felt fusion. Sadly they are not close enough to his copper patina coloured antler mitts so he won't wear them lol even though I asked him and he said yes pinky ponk colour lol
Acht the octopus with a blue DK and rainbow fingering weight held together. Knit for a little boy on the rotary club Christmas tree. I love how I somehow managed to get all the legs to be with a different colour of the rainbow yarn, an accident but a happy one lol
Elf socks, knit with London house yarns in the elf colourway. I did the bootstrap pattern down the leg but didn't do the bootstrap heel.
Acht the octopus knit for a little girl on the rotary club Christmas tree.
Another pair of Marie Curie socks, this pair didn't get finished in time for the deadline but they will still find a worthy home and I did send 2 pairs to the flower power fund. These were knit with left overs from the previous pair, I used butterscotch for the cuffs and toes and bubblegum for the heels.
I made 2 ferrero rocher pudding covers for my sons escort and driver and 4 Terry's chocolate orange pudding covers for a friend.
My son requested and EDF energy toy, so I knit him one using the boo-yah pattern by Susan Claudino without the arms.
Embroidery news!
I made a seasons greetings hoop and gave it to Mel from the Mel Browne crafting podcast, whom I had the pleasure of meeting recently :)
I finished my aunts cushion cover, I can't remember if I shared this one. I did lavender sprigs in the middle with a single spring in each corner. I hope she likes it even though it's not quite central :)
Macrame!
When I met Mel she taught me some macrame knots and I made three key rings :)
She also very kindly sent me some macrame twine in one of my favourite colours :)
I used some of my anorak cord that I use as drawstring for bags to make a macrame bracelet, I'm really pleased with it :)
Hope you're all ready for the festivities.
Happy Crafting!
