project 11

Another knitted project again today! This is another of Alan Darts designs. I won this pattern as a part of the Ravellinic games last year but have only just got round to using it. Piggy is a lot bigger than I was expecting and took nearly a whole 100g ball. He was great for stash busting! :)

Project 10

Here he is! Project 10. This is an Alan Dart pattern, I love his designs as they are so easy to follow. This one is available on his website but I also get Simply Knitting every month with one of his patterns in. This means I have load on my "to do" list but not enough time!

Project 9

I have been having ever so many problems with my blog over the last few weeks!! I almost gave up trying to post pictures but it has finally worked today. So here is the continuation of my 500 project challenge...

I do have to admit that I have failed with the challenge as I bought some new craft supplies! I have booked a trip to Disneyland during the summer so have bought some craft stuff to make a scrapbook. I have decided that I will let myself off lol. But I wont be buying any other craft things unless it is specifically for my scrapbook.

Here is project 9..

This is "Irving" from the big book of knitted monsters. He is knitted using patchwork wool from Habico. He is ever so soft and only a bit bigger than a tennis ball so is perfectly squishable!

Projects 4.5.6.7.8/500

These are my last minute Christmas Eve project! The crackers were from Paperchase and were just made from white card. I raided my 12 x 12 paper stash and tried to find some paper suitable for each person. Each cracker has a personalized gift and a tag so everyone knew which one was theirs! :)

Snow Dog ( Project 3/500)

Merry Christmas!!

 

I actually completed this project a few days ago as he was a Christmas present. He is knitted with snowflake yarn and is ever so soft. I love the snowman and snowdog films and cant wait to watch them over Christmas.

Christmas Polar Bear ( Project 2/500)

The pattern I used for this bear is actually meant to be a clown and is designed by Alan Dart, but I bought loads of white funky fur years ago and have finally nearly used it all up.
This bear is destined for my sister for Christmas and is a surprise so I hope she likes him!

 

Pom Pom Garland (Project 1/500)

Today I am starting my craft 500 projects before I buy more stash. I will allow myself to buy more glue or essentials (But I shouldn't need to!)

Here is project number one:
I bought a pom pom maker on Friday, and it makes 4 different sizes. Its quite addictive making them, and it uses up LOADS of yarn! Which is obviously a plus.
So far I have make a pom pom garland for my fireplace for Christmas but I will be trying to think of more pom pom related crafts soon, as they are mega quick to make!
