My Finger Knitted Bracelet :D

I JUST learnt to finger knit and it is SO fun! I made this bracelet out of scrap yarn and think it looks really cool. I think I am going to attatch some ribbon at the back so I can tie it in a bow. I won't be able to stop finger knitting now, but it's such a good thing to learn for going on holiday as you can't even take plastic knitting needles on a plane, so now I can stick my two yarn-covered fingers up at all airline companies and knit happily on board WITHOUT my needles!

Keyring Betty...

Look at Keyring Betty! Isn't she cute! She was a bit of an accident really (don't let her know that) - I started knitting a cheese sandwich and ended up sidetracking to make Betty! She's not yet been attatched to a keyring- but she will be by the end of the day, mwahaha...chained for eternity to my car keys! All hail Keyring Betty...! More of her geometrical family to come! x

I'm Addicted To Knitting Bows!

I keep on knitting bows and I can't stop! It's an addiction that just can't be cured! I'm making bow hairclips, bow keyrings, bow hanging mobiles, bow badges, bow curtain ties, and a giant bow for my curtain pelmet. I just love bows! Bows bows bows!

Phone Case :D

I had a boring black phone case which came with my phone- but it was just that- BOOOORING!...So I made this one- originally, I started knitting with black and was going to make rainbow stripes, but I changed my mind halfway through and undid it all in an "I don't like this!" kind of frenzy. And I'm really glad I did, because I love the end result- I really like the colours together and I even managed to find some matching light blue polka dot ribbon for the draw string :D

Hey Ho! Let's Go!

Woooh! My Joey Ramone doll is finished- and what a stunner he is! This is the first doll I've made and I think I'm addicted now! At first, I put a bit too much stuffing in, but I took a lot of it out again- I wanted him to look as tall and skinny as he was in real life!
Now....I might try knitting him a groupy!

My Big 'Ol iPod Case...

I was fed up of my iPod getting scratched and bashed about, so I decided to make a case for it. Like I've said before, I love anything gaudy, so this is perfect for me! It's purple with an oversized yellow knitted bow. Since finishing this one, I decided my phone might need a little case too!! So I'm on my way to completing a lilac and red one. I'll upload photos when I've finished :D

It's Not Easy Being Green...

I recently made this purple and white bag. It's about the same size as a tote bag, so it's REALLY handy for actually carrying things in. Because it's a bit bigger than the bags I usually make, I made sure the strap was extra strong by using cord bound in the same colour wool I'd been using. I also lined it with white fabric for extra strength- this bad boy is so strong now, I can cram in my weekly shop, and the only thing that'll break is my shoulder! It's not easy being green you know! *Sigh*

My Little Purple Bag...

I made this handbag because I found this button in my collection and wanted to use it on something cute. I thought the button looks kind of 1940s ish and I didn't want to waste it! (It's a pearlescant flower shape). I thought about putting it on a little purse, but I changed my mind as I thought it would look better on a bag. I lined the inside with a lilacy coloured fabric to make it a bit stronger (I pack a lot into my handbags, so they really do need to be made of strong stuff to hold all of my junk!!!)

My "Car-Crash" Blanket...

This is my first blog (about me), and I'm a little nervous about putting photos of what I've made online- you never think your own stuff is any good, but I've had fun making these things, so that's all that matters!
I love bright, clashing colours- basically anything that's gaudy! The gaudier the better- if I could find some pink ornamental flamingoes I'd definitely put them outside my house!
Anyway, I started making this blanket a couple of years ago. I had a pretty bad car crash and couldn't go to uni or work as I was at home recovering for a while, so I picked up my crochet hook and had a go. The middle is a bit wonky, but to be honest, at the time, I didn't really know what I was doing! I'm more of a knitter than a crocheter, but it got bigger faster than if I knitted it, so it helped to keep me sane!!! I pushed it to the back of the cupboard for a while, and after moving house, I decided I might add to it! I might keep going and see if I can make it as big as I can- possibly the size of my house to keep me nice and warm!! I <3 my blanket :D
