Yellow and white baby hat


This one is for Preston's friend George's new sister!

My pink jersey


Remember my pink jersey being half completed? Well I went on a knitting spree and I finished it not long ago. Of course, now it's too hot to wear it...

Jaffa's Space Invaders jersey

Cute cute cute!

Preston's Important Things Bag

Preston has a small obsession with bags, and putting his important things in bags (including nice things he finds in shops! I've had to stop him shoplifting before). So i'm making his own Important Things bag out of some really thick yarn in Preston colours. I've adapted a Patons pattern from the new Accessories book I bought recently - it's in broken rib which looks and feels really nice. It's going to have a really long handle so it goes across his body.

Dinosaur

I started Preston's dinosaur (ankylosaurus) and here is the top piece of the body and head. Hmmm, doesn't look like much yet, but I'm sure it will be very cool when completed (after what I can only imagine is going to be hours and hours of sewing it together - there are over 50 tiny spiky things i have to make and sew to each end of the ridges you can see in the picture)...

My purple finglerless gloves

I was quite jealous of Dan's warm hands so I adapted the pattern to have an XOXOXOX cable down the middle (which you can't really see because of my bad lighting and photography). But my other hand is cold so I'd better hurry up and knit a matching glove.

Dan's cabled fingerless gloves

Fingerless gloves are the new beanies. You can still do stuff while having warm hands (and arms), like typing, writing, opening doors and eating!
