Queen of Hearts

I started this project on March 17th 2011 and completed on 30th October 2011. It was taken from the book Blankets and Throws to Knit by Debbie Abrahams.

I used cotton DK yarn, not as specified in the pattern. Mostly it was easy to knit, but I probably made it harder for myself and not using beads as specified and knitting the colour instead of placing beads. As it was for my eldest daughter's bed I didnt use the full amount of squares as she only has a single bed. I love the finished blanket.

Mosaic Blanket

This was started in 2006. It was the first project I tried intarsia. It is about two thirds completed but has remained untouched for years. I will at some point pick it back up again, but what I have already stitched together I want to redo as I'm not happy with the stitching I've done and the yarn used can be clearly seen in places and it annoys me.

Pink Sweater

I think this commenced in early 2007 and then again in 2009. I made it for myself (twice) as I lost a lot of weight inbetween starting it and picking up up again after a number of months not knitting anything. I had to go from the 2nd to largest size, down to the smallest size and it is really still on the very large side on me now.

Anyway some photos of the progress...

I loved how quickly this chunky weight yarn knitted up. The yarn was purchased on ebay for around £4 I think.

More baby sweaters

These two cardigan were made for one of my best friend when she had her first baby in 2006
