Looked up the 'You have my heart' pillow - it's so cute and would look awsome on someone's bed. I also came across your 'rare flower' out in the garden. I have started on the flowers but not too many. The basic ones don't take too long to make. I also have made a couple of beanie's but I've forgotten how now so will have to start from scratch and learn again. I might go off and do some of my next rug now......off to find my work.
I need to get the motivation to make another blanket. I just know it's going to take ages and can't get the motivation to start it. :wall:
Some flowers people have made are soooooooo cute, but I dunno if I'd be able to make them. I also have to make my boy a beanie/hat thing for his dress up for bookweek thing for school. He's going as Wally from Where's Wally? Lol
I just finished a knitted doll for DD1, I was so happy with how she turned out and even more pleased to see that DD took to her! I am so used to making things and having it absolutely refused :doh:
I hit the jackpot with this one. It probably had something to do with the pink dress and removable fairy wings though!
Wow. I love the knitted doll! It's the cutest! I really need to get off my butt and teach myself to knit. :doh:
I haven't really done much crocheting lately other than the Wally hat last week for book week. Turned out alright in the end and suited his costume. Here it is. :)
How's everyone going?
Jackrose - Any child would be excited to have a doll like that - she's a gorgeous little fairy!
Jewel - Well done on the hat, your boy looks so cute.
I'm still working on my current rug. There have been a few days where I haven't even done anything with it but yesterday I picked it up again. Only a couple of weeks until the baby I'm making it for arrives so I had better get cracking...
Just finished a beanie for my sister's newborn, wool nappy cover and almost done on DD1's teddy's jumper.
Here's the beanie:

That's very cute!!!
Thank you, Jewel! Now I'd better get off here and finish Teddy's outfit.
I have finally finished my big project, a poncho! Something for myself for a change, the Jo Sharp Asymmetrical Poncho. I am a big fan of the baby and kids knits as they are so quick and satisfying, but when I saw someone wearing the poncho I was inspired. They lent me the pattern and 3 months later… I have a gorgeous, warm drapey number to flounce around in. I have it logged in my Ravelry account with details, but a pic here.
Itchy fingers after that mammoth task was completed and a new baby in the circle means that I have a gorgeous Merino yarn on the needles now and a "small things romper" almost complete. Nothing like a quick project for immediate gratification after a long drawn out one!
Oh I have a couple of things going at the moment, I will update my ravelry account and come back and link it :)
Keep forgetting to pop in. Finished outfit for teddy, beanies for both sister's babies and now onto a bigger beanie for DD2. I also finished a beanie for myself, should post a photo of that.
If anyone is interested, I set up a group over in Ravelry for BB knitters and crocheters so we can link patterns and projects without having to link through here as it is a commercial site. If you search the groups it is called BB hookers (inspired in a crochet thread here but knitters are welcome too ;)) I am gjrose on Ravelry if anyone wants to link up there.
DaintreeDream, I'd love to see what you are working on, can you join in?
Jennifer13, more photos please!! Sounds like you have been knitting up a storm!
I finished my quick gratification project - the small things romper

This was such a fun thing to knit because as it grew, it just got cuter and cuter. I can't wait to see it on the little boy it has been given to (hope it fits!)
Now on to some newborn hats for a friend expecting twins soon and maybe a dress for DD1 with some gorgeous Noro yarn I picked up at half price as it is discontinued. I just have to cross my fingers that I will have enough to make a dress…
All the BB links in this thread don't work anymore :shakehead: IF you can, can you find your pics and link again? I love checking out creations.
JR - love the romper! Might check out Ravelry.
Little monster toy for DD1:

Forgot to take a photo of the beanie I knitted for my second new niece. Maybe my sister will send me a pic of it being worn.
*like
Is that monster make up as you go? Super sweet!
JR it was in a library book DD1 borrowed on knitting projects. She pestered me for a few weeks before I got around to it.
Oh, I love it when kids place an order for things and are invested in the making! I love nothing more than DD saying "you can make that mummy" with absolute confidence.
Finished last night

I want to make matching booties or leg warmers to go with it.
New nephew arrived last week so I'm going to make him something now! Something quick too, before it's too warm.
