Something for Him

Since I've got seriously back into knitting, I'm ashamed to say I haven't really made anything for my chap. What a terrible girlfriend! I finally got my act together and secretly made him a hat for his bday.


Its a fair Isle number with ear flaps and I lined it with fleece. I wasn't following a pattern so its not the best fit, but it looks ok .

Hes so very Shoreditch

Doctor Who knit bits

We went to the Doctor Who experience for Rob's BDay. It was lots of fun and I got to be Navigator on the Tardis!
There was an exhibition part featuring all the outfits of Past Doctors and their assistants. Now we can all remember Tom Baker's massive scarf but I was very pleased to see knits have featured in other ways throughout the 11 Doctor's appearances.
Here they are:

Crimbobs pressies

Cripes, its been a long while since I updated my bloggerkins.
Stuff has all been a bit hectic with work n'all that so thats the main reason why I suppose.


I made a few knitty pressies for Christmas but forgot to take pictures of them - what a dum dum!


The only thing I did take a pic of was this  little cricket top I made for Evan

The pattern came via good ol' Ravelry: http://www.naturallycaron.com/projects/keene/keene_1.html

Peeps also generally got beards or pretty knitted hearts, but alas no pics.

Get out the Autograph books.......

Nanna has hit the big-time!

Check out whats in Knit Today this month:

Mega thanks to Pip as this wouldn't have happened without her and a big thumbs up to Nicola for her lovely words.

Gary!

Well its been a crazy December. Crimbo market on the first weekend, ATP on the second and Will & Jo's wedding on the third. In between that I've been knitting away trying to get pressies done for Christmas. I'll be posting those up in the well earned break I'm having between Christmas and New Years.

I've also managed to make a few sales on Etsy! A lovely lady from Crewe bought two knitted beards and another lovely lady from Illinois bought the Santa hat & beard. Things are looking up!

Now, I get all sorts of requests from friends and family, but the weirdest tend to come from my work colleagues. For Christmas, Sarah asked me to make knitted loo roll cover of her husband ... I KNOW!.

And here is Gary....

I'm now thinking this could be a new line I put out on Etsy as a made to order product. Will have to pond on that.

Nanna's Market

So we did the Market and it was a lovely lovely day out. Sold a few things (mostly to friends). It was a great experience. I'll defo do it again in the future but maybe at a different venue.


And heres what our stall looked like:

Thanks to all the chums to paid us a visit, you really did help make the day. We were also lucky to have Laurence there to give us hints and tips. She was selling some of her wicked prints which I reccomend you check out http://www.etsy.com/shop/malobi.


I'm now going to pop the things I didn't sell onto my etsy site to see if I get any interest there

Since August I've have been knitting and sewing and knitting some more and sewing some more to build up stock for this event. With all the effort I really hope I sell something! The stall will be a mix of Crimbo decorations, toys, hats, scarfs and my usual facial accessories.

Would love to see some friendly faces!
