Knitting for Dan

Well my intentions of going into baby sock knitting mode are slightly on hold at the moment as I have got a few other projects.

Last night I started knitting these cool gloves for Dan (useful on cold days when you still need to use a computer). I'm making them in cream and brown knit together. Plus it will be my first attempt at cable knitting.

I've also been spending more time on my pink jersey (the long sleeve top). It took me ages to get into it because each row was so long (knitting the front, back and sleeves all at the same time) but now that I have knitted past the sleeves and am onto the body it doesn't take long at all. Maybe I'll have it finished in time for winter!

I've also been knitting another space invaders jersey for someone who ordered it, and I just bought a really cool book of dinosaur toys to knit - they are amazing so I can't wait to get into them! And then a few people want space invader beanies. I'm going to be busy!

Yay - matching socks!

I'm going into production of cute baby socks - place your orders now!

Preston's Space Invader Jersey! COMPLETE!

YAY! It's finished and it's so cute! Here are some photos, and now I'm powering my way through some matching socks.

Preston's knitted pants - modelled

Remember the pants I knitted for Preston a few months ago? Well I finally got around to sewing the elastic around the waistband and now he has a pair of (probably very itchy) woolley pants!

I have been a bit unsure about whether I like them, but they do go well with cute red boots and a red top.

Preston wore this outfit to a party at Andrew's house, and lots of people commented on how cool his pants are! So they must be ok after all.

I'm entering a knitting competition!

One of the knitting sites I read www.knitty.com is having a photo competition for a 2008 calendar with photos of things people have made using their patterns. I got my fancy sock pattern and the space invaders pattern from there, so I'm going to take some creative photos and submit them! I've nearly finished the space invaders jersey so will get Preston to model it while he's playing with the nintendo or something. How exciting!
