Snoodle

Here is the snood I made for Manja's birthday (And's design, not quite as chunky though). Modelled by the lovely Manja.

Macaron 5

For 2012 I decided to write a list of 12 things I wanted to do this year. One of the items was to learn how to make macarons and I thought I'd share my first attempts with you all!

These little pink ones are filled with raspberry smoothie buttercream.







These weird nipple looking ones were filled with chocolate ganache.












And last but not least, coconut buttercream - YUM!!

Hand in Glove

Birthday gloves for my friend Ruth.  These are the second attempt, I knitted them according to the instruction and they came out man size so these are in aran on smaller needles and are a normal size.   Ruth loves them and is wearing them all the time, done. 

Hand in glove

Let's talk about socks

My exciting Christmas news is that I finished two socks before Christmas day.  My mum will most likely be receiving socks every year now.  BIG drama on Christmas eve, I had to go to Truro (OMG, where will I park??!) to buy wool because I ran out about five rows to the end.  Couldn't find the same random wool I got in Beckenham about five years ago so the end of one sock is a different colour. 

Progress on the train, as always...

Done!!

Something finally for me!

I got around to knitting these just before Christmas and now it's not really that cold enough to wear them!

Mauve and Mother of Pearl Scarf

Keeping with the Mauve theme I knitted a scarf for my Mum for Christmas.

Baby Rebecca's Organic Cotton Cardigan

Finally I have authorisation to post. Here are some of my latest efforts!
