Knitting from the past...

I have odd pics of Knitting show up in my facebook feed... figured here was as good a place as any to share them.    

My friend Lee Story wanted a beanie in his football team colours.  Glad to oblige.

12 ply jumper for a friends little boy.... he will grow into it so it will be good over winter.

2023 knitting

 Knitting projects for the year.

JANUARY

Mitred square blanket using scrap yarn. - 

45 Stitches, size 7 needles, 8 ply yarn.  

knit 1 row, next rowknit 20sts K2 together through back of loop, knit 1, K2 together knit to end of row, next row knit 21 stitches, purl on stitch, knit to end of row....continue in this manner (leaves a nice raised mitre down the centre of the square) till 3 stitches, knit 3 stitches together and leave a long end for sewing up. 

Trauma Teddy pattern, need to work on facial features, will also go with the scarf a bit longer.   I find this pattern is great for using the oddments of yarn for knitting, and I use odds and ends from sewing up rugs for stuffing.... real recycled toy.
