Knit Beanie WIP

Here is another knit beanie in the works

I'm making this one for myself because I LOVE 

the colours in this yarn and the way 

it looks so delicate on the tiny needles.

I'm not rushing this one, as I've had to pull out

several rows already and re-started it about 7 times

just to get this far!

But, I'm loving it and loving knitting!

A Knit 'Stripe' Cowl

I'm practicing my knitting

and have wanted to knit a cowl

for a very long time.

I love the look of knit rib

so when I found this pattern

I knew I had to use the

Moda Very Monkey yarn I bought

to make one for myself.

I learnt a lot while making this cowl, like

continental knitting is a lot faster when you get the hang of it

and out of fear for binding off too tightly, I bound off too loosely

(as you can see at the base of the cowl, ooopsy).

When I wear it (photo on the way?!)

the loose bind off actually looks really good as 

it flares around my collar bones.

A Beanie with Braids

If you remember This Post

I made Isabella an Elsa Inspired beanie

from the movie Frozen with a long

braid down the side.

Knowing how it feels when a sister gets an awesome

present when you don't get the same thing

(Jealousy!!!)

I decided to make another version for her little sister Scarlett.

This beanie is pink, with a white tiara 

and two yellow/blonde braids hanging from each side.

I've also used glitter glue and some extra glitter

to add some sparkle to the braids and the tiara,

just like Isabella's beanie.

I hope the girls like their Christmas Presents!
Also, I added some extra glitter to Isabella's beanie tiara

Boxy Bunny

This is Boxy Bunny

Boxy Bunnies will be limited edition

because I am using leftover bits of yarn

to make Boxy Bunny

so you may not find the same colour combinations available

or the same skirt/shorts etc.

Soon enough Boxy Bunny will

be listed in my Made It Store - Hooky Fun 

Boxy Bunny is 8 inches or 20.5cm tall

and would be easy for little hands to hold

Safety eyes are used, but eyes can be 

felt and sewed on if preferred

Pattern Credit to Minazara

but note I have altered the original pattern

**At the moment I am only posting to Australia

but feel free to contact me

to see if overseas post is viable**

A Purple Horse

A Purple Horse with Multi Coloured Hair

How cute is this horse!

Pattern is from Monster's Toy Box (Ravelry)

And it is quite quick to make.

Horse stands almost 9inches tall and is perfect sized for little hands to hold on to.

I put two little 'pantyhose bags' filled with rice to add weight to the base

so that Horse wouldn't fall forward to.

Quick Coaster's

Here is a super quick

15 minute project.

Well . . . it takes 10-15 mins to make one.

It's a cotton crochet drink coaster.

Pattern and idea from Crafts Tuts Plus 

And I used my Samsung Galaxy Note Tablet

to take the photos (hence the not-so-great-lighting)

This cotton is quite soft and the camera really

doesn't show to brightness of the aqua green colour.

A Granny Hexagon Cardigan

In the Works

A Tiny Crab

This is Tipper the Tiny Crab

Pattern is from Fresh Stitches

He works up very fast, and is quite easy to make.

If your familiar with my blog,

you will notice I LOVE Fresh Stitches designs.

A Bat for Christmas

Another Crochet Christmas Present.

This is Igor the Tiny Bat.

The pattern is by Stacey Trock at Fresh Stitches.

She makes the cutest Amigurumi patterns, I am such a fan of hers.

Two Faced Crochet Pillow

I crocheted a pillow case for a boring little pillow.

On one side is Moda Vera Triglia in variegated Blue.

And on the other side is Moda Vera Shiver in Avocado.

You may notice that the pattern is different on each side.

I felt like 'spicing things up a little'

With chunky yarn and a 10mm/N/P/15 hook

this works up ridiculously fast.
