Yarn along

Pieces of me ~ A Yarn Along

Before today I hadn’t decided who my very slowly emerging rainbow of gnomes was for… now I realise I’m making them for me! Of course, my children will play with them and they will be great for storytelling, but their creation can continue on the go slow.

In the meantime, I finished a second knitted bunny for Little Miss Q. I’ve given bunny a nose but no other facial features… what do you think? Does bunny need eyes? You can see bunny’s brother and a tutorial here.

Otherwise, I converted the start of Master D’s jumper into a baby Waldorf doll (it is all for the best, honest!).

And I’m a few more chapters into A Game of Thrones. And – wow, it is a riveting read! If I could curl up in bed and read until I was done I would, but those were the days 🙂 Instead we’ve been painting, baking & playing (and I think I like that better!)

So until next time, enjoy your Christmas celebrations!

A little bit of this and that

Over the past week I’ve been jumping from project to project. So everything is part way done, and gets worked on depending on who is awake and around!

Part of my rainbow of gnomes is ready to sew up – red, orange & yellow. And green is next 🙂 I’ve decided to sew them all up at the end, rather then someone working out what they are along the way, shhhh 😉

Sneak peek

Another knitted bunny is ready to be fashioned out of my green knitted square.

Oh, and I got sidetracked by knitting some simple ‘sleeping bags’ for some new Spring Flower Gnomes that I have just made (post to come).

Apart from knitting, I’ve got other handmade items on the go. So, what with all this crafting, it may not be surprising that I haven’t done much reading. But when I do have a spare moment I’ve been enjoying ‘A Game of Thrones’ by George R.R. Martin.

Joining in with the Yarn Along 🙂

Warmly, Kelly

P.S please excuse the poor photos!
