Oh baby!

A few months ago I showed you some blankets that I had made for my nieces. 

But recently I was asked about baby blankets, and it set me thinking that I could find a pattern for stroller blankets! I am not always sure if these experiments will work, but I can only try out new ideas and see if they sell!


A bright green one, measuring approximately 80cm (32") - the perfect size to keep a little one cosy on a walk to the park, to the shop, or when a parent needs to go for a jog!


Pink and black varigated yarn. Rather dazzling for some perhaps, but no doubt trendy for others =) 
We all have individual tastes, and I was trying to cover a wide spectrum.

Scarves galore!

I have often found or been given odd balls of yarn, and it can be difficult to know just what to do with them. Many times I have used these odd balls of yarn to whip up a scarf, and I thought I would show you a few of those I have done recently. 

There are SO many scarf patterns available, and I have even tried inventing a few of my own over the years, so there is a good variety here.

Different types of yarn lends itself to different scarf patterns...

The first is a cosy warm cotton/acrylic - it can be thoroughly frustrating trying to get the photograph to reflect the true colours, but this is a light blue mixed with white and a glittery fleck.


Next I found some bright warm chunky acrylic, and simultaneously found an amazing pattern which was SO quick!



A yarn I was gifted was an interesting mix of cotton, wool and silk! I found the colours to be rather fascinating! The lacey pattern suited this yarn perfectly.

A box of love

I'm going to be brief.

It's just the plain truth that sometimes words can be too much. 

But a little gift can speak 
comfort, encouragement and love...
