Red knitting and stuff

Feels good to knit red stuff, it's like therapy to help me process the fact we have a Tory government, which I still haven't really gotten over. I see more red knitting in the future.




Knitted and felted these red bells a bit ago. Maybe I'll put pattern on here soon.




Did you know it's black history month in the UK at the moment? Made me realise we don't have any black toys *blush* mind you we don't have lots of dolls and things, but all the same I'm enjoying adding some diversity.

Some stuff

A big soggy thing! I ended up sticking this in the machine to felt, much more of a faff than the tiny ones. Pics when it's dry, whenever that might be!!!



The tiny ones are still fun...





My smallest one had such cold hands today :-( luckily they are small hands so knitted this during her nap...




This evening I'll be getting on with a special aviatrix.

Yummy!

Yummy rainbow goodness...I was worried my daughter had got them all dirty whilst 'helping' make these but turns out they were just dark from dampness. Tumble dryer did finish them off nicely.




These have been played with a lot today, but have had to supervise because they are temptingly sweetie-like!

Bought some lovely wool for a friends daughters hat...merino, alpaca and silk mmmmm

Jumping on the bandwagon...

Couldn't ignore current craze for rainbow felted balls.









Those crocheted slippers? Love them so much they needed darning already!

A new hat!

Aviatrix, to be precise.




She's a bit poorly today :-(
It's some sort of wool/silk mix. Usually i don't go for the mega smooth yarns...especially when knitting short rows as the wraps show...but I didn't want this to be tickly, I need it to stay on her little head!

Ultimate slippers

I bought dan some amazing wool haflinger slippers recently. I am so jealous, but the adult ones are pretty pricey




So I am making myself some Russian style slippers as inspired by a pattern on the purl bee, cba to find link right now. One is done, and it feels good, so the other one had better hurry up




I'm thinking about buying some sheepskin insoles for them, they seem cheap on eBay. Surely these would then be the ultimate slippers. Made entirely from granny squares, fab. I might make abi a wee pair to match.
