Reepicheep completed

I completed Reepicheep a while ago - here he is in all of his glory, with sun shining on him artistically.

I've moved back home after a few months of illness at university. My mom has bought me a wicker basket bench-type thing for my room which is going to be perfect for all the knitting. I've spent the day cleaning and painting it. I will re-cover the top of it with some fabric that will fit my pretty pink room.

I've got a thousand projects planned and on the go at the moment, so it's keeping me all busy.

The Bolero...again

I found this on my camera - it's the Bolero again, modelled by Lucia. I ordered some more Rowan Cocoon in "Seascape" so I can make one for her birthday which is in a couple of weeks.

Bolero for Me :)

I've spent the last two days trying out a new pattern for myself - it's on Ravelry here. I love the pattern but it's a bit small for me. It did only take up one ball of yarn, which was Rowan Cocoon. I hate this yarn. It sheds, it is bulky and black, and difficult to find a pattern which is nice.

Knitting this was only bearable because I love the pattern, and I will be doing it again in medium size.

Happy Mother's Day!

I haven't given it to her yet, cos she is in Africa at the moment - but will give it to her on Sunday when she gets back :) On Ravelry here.

Pattern came from "Knit Today" booklet "The book of Bedtime knits", Issue 55 of the magazine.
