Grandma's Birthday Scarf

For Grandma's 70th Birthday, I made a scarf in the colours of her favourite team, Northampton Saints.


I made it with chunky wool and made it extra wide so that once it was finished I could fold it in half and swe it so that you couldn't see the wrong side of the knitting. Then instead of sewing up the ends of the scarf I made tassles.

Bolero Cardigans

I found a lovely chunky knit pattern for a jumper and bolero cardigan and seeing as it was about April time i decided to do the cardigans.


Nicola wanted pink and i added a few stripes of multi coloured to break up the pink a little.




danica's was made with the leftover multi coloured from Nicola's and the left over white from josie's.




josie's favourite things in the whole world at the mo are red and Dora, so red it was!





finally a picture of all 3 together.
Because they are made with chunky wool they are so quick to make,i will definately be making the jumpers from this pattern when it gets colder.
I also made Josie and Nicola a bag each to match and when i can locate them both at the same momment in time i will take a picture!

Stripey Jumpers

Last winter I made Nikki and Jojo a striped jumper each.



This is Nicola's, its a bit wide but she needed the length.
If i make it agin I will have to use the width from 1 size and the length from another!


This is josie's jumper, a perfect fit, I love it when that happens.
Then I put the pattenr in a "safe place" to make danica one when she was a bit bigger!
I finally found the pattern again just before we moved house yay :)



so I made Danica one. I made it only a size smaller than Josie's because she is so big and josie is so small, I am convinced that by next winter they will be the same size!


I wanted to take a picture of all 3 girls wearing them but not everyone wanted to put them on so I gave up and took this picture.
If you have good eyesight( or a big computer screen) you will notice that the palest pink on Danni's is slightly different. I went tothe same wool shop as the year before and they had 3 out of 4 colours the same still, which wasn't bad.

I am currently doing more of these jumpers as a suprise present for someone, once they are done I will take pictures.
