LOVING LIFE, ONE STICH AT A TIME
At the moment, I’m knitting the royal crown tea and egg cosy set by Debi Birkin.
These Anchor artiste metallic crochet threads are amazing and give the whole composition a regal feel, the weight so heavy yet springy, the silver thread would make great chainmail for a knight doll.
The cosy is coming along nicely. It will be finished well in time for the Royal Wedding Garden Party at East Greenwich Pleasaunce.
Happy Knitting,
I haven’t been knitting for a few years now, to be quite honest, I had not intention of starting any projects. However, there have been a few ideas floating around at work, one being charity knitting and the other, to teach a colleague how to knit. Just before the Easter holidays all this changed when […]
I know what you are going to say, ‘I thought that you were knitting the Flopsy Bunny next’ and, ‘what happened to project 8 and 9?’ All was going well, I stared on the Flopsy Bunny and then I received my bonus at work. So I then decided to treat myself to some luxury yarn, with […]
This little penguin was knitted over two evenings, as part of my initiation into the British Banter Forums on Ravelry. The Pattern is free and can be downloaded here: The Eve Everitt (M)a(K) Penguin As part of the initiation you have to announce the Birth on one of the threads. Announcement of Birth Name: Toe Jam […]
One of the first Intarsia toy booklets I purchased early on happened to be the Beano and Dandy Collection. The set comprises of seven knitted characters who appeared in the Beano and the Dandy comics published by D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd. Nearly every child in England grew up with these comics and the […]
The sack of mice tea cosy was such a nice little project, one that I could dip in and out of at leisure. Not that I needed a reason to knit this, but we thought that Daddy Rivett’s Mum would like it for her Birthday. Yarns used for this project were all Sirdar Bonus knit […]
The R2D2 Beanie, finished with more time than you could wave a light saber at. This was my first ever Commission for a work colleague for her son’s birthday. She was delighted and it raised a few smiles all round. Nice little knit this one, little being the operative word here. For some reason […]
The wedding is over, the Bride looked stunning and Mummy Rivett was up till 05:00 to finish the crown in time for the garden part at East Greenwich Pleasaunce. The story behind this one was thus. Three weeks prior to the wedding, Daddy Rivett and I were taking Poppy and Buster to the Pleasaunce for […]
As mentioned in my first post, this was my first completed knitting project in over 20 years. The idea came about when I asked Daddy Rivett what he would like for his Birthday. “Surprise me.” was the response. So, with that in mind, I thought I would hand knit a doll for him, after all […]
