And yet another week goes by!! This week is the half term holiday, so I hope to have lots to report next week!
This week, I knitted myself some mitts - spiced cocoa is the pattern - I love the pattern and have done it 3 times before. This time I bizarrely did the left twist differently but I don't know how!! Anyway, they are for me so I will live with the difference! The yarn is an aran by Mellifera yarn in the rain colourway.
I also finished the wreaths and made mini versions.
And made a snowman for the tree and another stocking.
As to sewing, I made a couple of project bags - here is one it contains my 3 ongoing projects (second sock, second Raspberry tart and my Christmas jumper), none of which I have done much on this last week, so no photos!
What are you working on this week?
Love the mittens and just in time for the cooler weather. What cute wreaths and I just love the snowman. Great looking project bag and making it more than makes up for not having time to work on the projects it holds. Enjoy the mid-term week, it's mid-term week with us also.
ReplyDeleteChristmas knits already! You are so organized! The ornaments are all so cute --- almost enough to put me in a holiday mood!
ReplyDeleteKind of organised!! In all honesty, they are for the stall, so wanted them done in plenty of time.
DeleteI love the wreaths! They're gorgeous :) Are the patterns on ravelry?
ReplyDeleteThank you. I made up the patterns myself with help from Pinterest. The larger one is 35 stitches - then garter stitch until it stretches over the polystyrene form. The smaller one is 15 stitches, garter stitch.
DeleteFabulous festive project bag, and nice and roomy too, I really should knuckle down and sew myself a couple of bags, I have half finished wips all over the shop.
ReplyDeleteThose mittens look so cosy and I love the colour, you've really got a head start on the Christmas makes with your pretty wreaths.
Great projects! Love the mitts..I'm a sucker for fingerless mitts...and ohh Christmas stuff! Love! That bag looks huge!
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought I was doing good with my 3 little ghosties that took weeks! LOL! You put me to shame. The mitts are so pretty and love the yarn color. Those wreathes are ingenious and the little ornies...I'm sure they will sell well. Your bag is darling and what a cute Christmas print so you can put all your Christmas presents you are making in there. Have another fantastic week with your family.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you made something for you in amongst all of your other projects, which by the way all look fabulous x
ReplyDeleteWhat a festive wave you're riding! These are all splendid projects. The wreaths are terrific. I envy your sewing skills.
ReplyDeleteLove the mitts, and what cute wreaths! :)
