More Beanies

Here are some more beanies I've made and sold recently.

The above beanie pattern is the Fauxlyn Slouchy

by The Velvet Acorn Designs.

I used Lionbrand Heartland Tweed which sits

so perfectly for this slouchy style.

This super simple knit beanie was made using

Lionbrand Heartland Tween as well.

This Fauxlyn Slouchy was made in a Toddler size

with James C Brett Chunky with Merino.

Petit Giraffe

Look what I made!

This oh-so-cute Giraffe was quite fun to make and

I just love his chubby little legs and body and butt.

He will be for sale very soon in my Etsy store.

Pattern is from Marike van Loo - Gigi Giraf

Sneak Peaks

Currently working towards getting awesome things

made for a new Made It shop launch.

My goal is to have my revamped shop

go live by the end of January.

This gives me roughly six weeks to make

as much as I can to fill the shop.

In the meantime, here is a sneak peak at two of the beanie's

I've knit up over the previous few weeks.

Knit and Crochet

I've been knitting and knitting

with a tad of crochet!

Here are three beanie's I've made so far

and the cream one of the left is a combo

of crochet and knit!

I'm hoping to add a special finishing touch to these

as well as make a whole heap more over the next month 

with the aim of re-opening my Made It story

in January with a whole bunch

of hand knit and hand crochet beanies

and accessories for sale!

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.
