Easter Finish

I decided to put my little Easter finish on a dress for my Nephews little girl Victoria.  I think the colours go great together!  And of course Belle E. Button and her new Easter dress from her Auntie!

Rainy day finish

Today was a dull dreary Nova Scotian day so after church I decided to finish the little basket with linen stitching.  The top is actually a canning jar lid, covered with padding and the lid knob are two beads glued together shhhhhh!LOL!  This was a freebie from http://www.thestitcherhood.com/.  The little basket I bought for 25 cents at a yard sale.  It was stitched with Hand-dyed Fibres Caribbean Reef.  I am pleased with the way it turned out.  Its been quite a while since I stitched on linen.  I have enough thread to stitch a small biscornu or scissor fob as well.

Sparrow's Nest Progress

This is Whit's Knits Sparrow's Nest with leftover Fleece Artists boucle' wool and acrylic sock wool.  I'm going to felt the nest to make it a bit smaller and bring the fibres close together.  The pattern calls for knitting the nest on four needles but I chose to knit it on two and then stitch around the brim (much easier)! This is a free pattern from http://www.purlbee.com/.  Enjoy!!

My Little Primitive Angel

I love anything with Angels and I have hooked many of these little ones as most people enjoy them as "fridge magnets" which can be displayed all year as well as being functional.  If interested in purchasing one of these please drop me a note.

Simply All Season Scarf

After knitting several of these scarves I decided to come up with my own version.  I love the wool I am using which is very soft and lightweight.  The variations in colours remind me of the "Mr. Freezies" we used to enjoy as children!  After discovering Bamboo needles a few years ago I will never go back to the old slippery metal ones!  These needles hold the wool perfectly and prevent it from slipping but yet allow you to freely guide your yarn for knitting. This is an all season scarf which can be enjoyed Spring thru Winter.  If interested in purchasing please inquire. 

Sweet Bag Finish

Well this morning I decided to stitch up my little forgotten bunny freebie.  I decided to turn it into a sweet bag for Easter.  I like the way it turned out!
This bad sinus infection has put me behind in so many projects.   The sun is shining today and I am happy to be alive and well!!

Another Easter Finish

This little finish really does not suit my decor, but for Easter I guess I may keep it!LOL!  Now how to finish is always my problem, any suggestions?

A few Easter finishes (well almost)!

Not sure yet how I will finish this one.  I would like to put it on a basket but do not have a tall narrow basket to put it on!  I think it will probably become a little door knob hanger.  I found the trim at our local dollarstore which seems to match very well.  What do you think?

The Last Knit Video and a finish

Today after getting groceries on this rainy Maritime day I came home and sat down at the computer and stumbled across this cute video.  If you are a  knitter I'm sure you can relate!

Well I thought I would pull out my shawl I knit last year from recycled yarn.  I think it turned out quite well.  I started with a simple (one) stitch and continued with garter stitch increasing beginning of each row until desired length. Voila"!  It really was that simple.  Bella decided to help as she always does, God forbid should I go anywhere in the house without her knowledge or shall I say "approval"!  What a dog!!!!
