Flamingo finished

At long last I finished the flamingo, it was a twelve hour session on saturday to get it fnished but it was worth it. The body was hard because you have to stuff the neck beforehand and its hard to know where to put it, and it twists the wool around. Anyway, I was pretty pleased with myself.

Odd Bod Flamingo Update

She's growing.... knitting in the round isnt so much of a novelty now.... in fact im going to be knitting on 2 needles for a while after this.
Once I've finished I wont have anything to talk about anymore, it's become a big part of my life.
Anyway, on with knitting....

Odd bod Flamingo

I've started another of the Knitted Odd-Bob Bunch from Donna Wilson's book. Fifi is being knitted for my mum's birthday, she loves flamingo's and this will look great in her pink bedroom.

I've not attempted knitting in the round for a while and had a little help from a fellow Crafty Appler to get going but once I did you couldnt stop me.... ill keep updating as she grows.

New Beading project

On the back of my enjoyment and success of the headband beading project I have now started a beaded cuff, I think it will look lovely worn together, especially for my hen do, as I am planning on wearing all black and it will add some sparkle..wooooo...here is the beginning stages

Beaded Headband update...

Well I finally finished the beaded headband, and I love it, it's come out so much better than I thought it would. I want to wear it everyday...but it's got to stay special.

Ring Cushion for the Wedding

I decided to make my own cushion for our wedding rings, as I wanted to carry through my wedding colours and the pattern I used on my invitations. I used Sanderson's Dandelions fabric, which I got a sample of through the post from their website.







I think it's very cute, and not at all like other ring cushions which is exactly what I was hoping for...
