Teddy Cushion

I made a teddy bear cushion for my sons wicker chair using the pattern for a washcloth by by Elaine Fitzpatrick from Down Cloverlane.



Here is the pattern for the teddy washcloth. I basically created two of these, I made it a bit longer and added some white colour work up the top for interest. then sewed them together with stuffing in the middle and hey presto! a tiny cute teddy cushion.

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!

Knitting Awesomeness

This video is a great project by a woman named Rachel John who demonstrates literally how knitting is not just a craft but a beautiful art form.

Mr. Cool Snake

Last year I made the Slithery Snake by Zoë Mellor, one of the 25 great designs from Knitted Toys. I made this for my son, he seems to kinda like it but I won't lie, he isn't as enthralled by it as I imagined he would be when I was knitting it. I was knitting it and imaging his little face lighting up with joy, it was more of a meh...he was only 18 months at the time lol!



But I LOVE it, every time I look at Cool Snake I feel happy, mainly because it was one of the first projects I managed to complete in ages and I could hardly believe that I actually went the whole 9 yards and finished the thing. So here it is out the front of my house, posing slyly on my front gate!
