Noro Log Cabin Throw

I used four different colourways of Noro Taiyo (a gorgeous blend of cotton and silk) to create this soft and colourful log cabin throw. I used size 5.5mm circular needles.

So many different colours blending in together.

I am quite happy with the result! I have been working on this one on and off in between projects for a few months now and it is finally finished (also I ran out of wool).

Mohair Crochet Afghan

Here is an afghan that I made many years ago in my early 20's. It is made out of various different mohair yarns and a pure wool. It is a much loved item in my home especially when the winter months hit!

New Blanket For Iggy

I am currently knitting a blanket for my two year old soon using a great multi colour mohair I picked up at Lincraft in Alexandria, they had an entire batch of amazing European yarns that they were trying to get rid off for $5 for a 100gm ball, not bad at all. The mohair was quite nice quality and colours. The angora they had available was a little rough for me and despite the low cost I desisted buying it. I did walk out with the beautiful multi color mohair and some standard superwash 100% wool in green and blue.

I am making a sample blanket as I am excited to try many of the patterns from my Treasury of Knitting Pattern books by Barbara G.Walker. So far I have used the Cocoon stitch and the Embossed leaf pattern, they are turning out quite nice.

Today I went to Penrith to visit The Wool Inn. What a great store! The staff are super friendly and very helpful. The resources available are amazing, so many different colours and textures. I opted for a hand dyed blue pure New Zealand wool. Hopefully it will compliment the other colours in the blanket.

In the end all that matters is that this little boy likes it!

Knitted Patchwork Quilt

I have been working on this knitted patchwork quilt on and off for about a year and a half now and I have finally decided that it's finished!



I am quite happy with it. I may need to iron out some of the edges as it is curling a bit. This was my in between projects project.



And for once my two year old son said "like it" and "nice" about one of my knitted projects as opposed to "no like it" or "no want it" ...yay! now its going on your bed baby boy lol!
