A knitted birthday vest

   If you’ve been following me on instagram,
you’ve probably noticed I’ve been knitting up a mini storm.
And happily…
I have finished Dino Boy’s ‘something to wear…‘ birthday present in good time *grin*
Dino Boy has been rocking 70s style hair, courtesy of admiration for his school mate….
{he has since had a hair cut, but can still rock the look *wink*}
So when I was deciding which vest to make him, Tikki’s Griffin came out as a clear front runner
And then I fell in love with the yarn, Noro… and the rest was, well history *wink*
Watching the colours emerge as I knitted was rather mesmerizing.
Even the kids would check in on progress regularly and talk about the colours they saw.
And he looks wonderful in it!
Happy days, Kelly

Winter knitting & thinking

This Winter I have been very introspective

An inside creature…
keeping warm, knitting, reading, thinking

Winter lends itself to a time like this, I think.

And it is interesting how the different seasons impact my mood

 

There have also been many hot chocolates
cozy chats with friends, and knitting *grin*
Knitting is the perfect Winter craft isn’t it?
The warm wool in your hands as your can sit and create

For Dino Boy I knitted up some simple fingerless gloves

I was inspired by a beautiful pair a good friend made for me

And now I have two projects on the go…

~ a knitted dress of Little Miss Q {a rich blue}
~ a birthday vest for Dino Boy {using lovely Noro yarn}

 

 

 

I’ll share some more as I finish these projects
Have you been knitting? What are your inspirations?
Happily knitting, Kelly
