Mobile phone cover

This is my new mobile phone cover. Made from wool that has been knitted and felted in the washing machine. The flowers were bought from Panduro Hobby and attached with a felting needle.

Car boot sale find!

I just wanted to share this fantastic car boot sale find - only £5!

Improved skirt hem

I thought this skirt was a bit boring so I improved it with a crocheted hem.

Knitted dress (too small)

I made this dress from a Drops pattern. Unfortunately it turned out too small, so it is just hanging in the wardrobe now.

Refitted cardigan

Before and after photos of my mohair cardigan from a charity shop in Winchester. I think it was another size 16.

Re-fitted H&M jumper

I bought this size 18 knitted jumper from H&M for £10, and then changed the side seams and sleeve seams to be more fitted to my size. I think it worked quite well.

Stickad babykofta.

Grå babykofta från ett Dropsmönster.

Skirt from woolly jumper (norgetröja)

Here is the skirt I made from my Norwegian woolly jumper. The wool is extremely itchy so therefore I made a thick lining.

See my previous post for the mittens I made from the sleeves.

Advent calendar

This advent calendar was made from a kit fabric at C&H.

Latch hook snowman

Latch hook snowman just finished. Bought the kit from Ateljé Margaretha www.margaretha.se.

Crocheted rag rugs

 

To be used in the bathroom. I should have made them a bit bigger but ran out of fabric.

Scissor keeper

I picked up this kit for an embroidered "scissor keeper" at the Stitch and Knit Show at Alexandria Palace last month. It turned out really pretty!

I can recommend going to www.suehawkins.com where you can find lots of kits like this.

Mittens from woolly jumper (norgetröja)

 

I made these woolly mittens from an old Norwegian jumper that I haven't used for 20 years. It was a bit of an improvisation, and I didn't quite get the seem allowance right, therefore they look a bit clumsy.

I am also making a skirt from the rest of the jumper, but that is still under construction.

Handbag with hexagons and piping

I made this handbag from some very old hexagons I got a long time ago. The piping gives a bit of extra definition.

Coffee cosy

This is the "coffee cosy" I knitted for our cafetiere.

Knitting needle case

I made this needle case for all my double pointed knitting needles from a piece of Marimekko faric.

Not quite sure what to write...

I should really do some useful work (since I'm at work) but find it a lot more fun to try to create a blog.
