Nanny has been knitting!

My Mum is a great great knitter, I wish some of it had rubbed off on me, but for some reason I just can't get the hang of it, I think because I have the inability to read a pattern! I can crochet but only if I invent something myself, same as sewing, I cannot for the life of me read a pattern!

Mum knitted this gorgeous beanie for me (although I will never look that gorgeous in it!), this picture has come from here

I just love the twoandsix blog so many beautiful things, do yourself a favour and check it out.
I'm going to crochet myself this beautiful wrap next.

Some more shorties

This is the result of having a baby who doesn't sleep, I get to have him on my lap (his happiest place to be) and crochet for him. I need to lanolise them and wait for our prefold nappies to arrive and Sam can start wearing them. These ones turned out much better than the first pair I did.

It's beanie time

I made this cute beanie for Zoe last night whilst watching PS I love You...was a little hard to crochet through the tears but I got there in the end, too bad it's too small for her, will have to find a baby girl to give it too.

The colours in the photo didn't turn out quite right, what looks like red is actually hot pink.

I got the pattern from here http://craftychristina.blogspot.com/2007/11/soley-granny-squares-hat-pattern.html
