Well, again, it's been some time since I've updated my blog. It's been soooo busy lately. I'm still trying to get the time and energy to knit more. I've completed a few projects since the Sedgemoor and those pages are updated on my Ravelry page. Most of the blogs on how that knit went are actually on my Ravelry page for that project.


Here is a my knit Kimono top: ultra soft and shiny since I used Silk Dream (light blue). The ribbing is Sari by Louisa Harding. A bit itchy.




This one here is my cable tunic with a sporty look. The sides are a varigated rust color blend with greens. I had 6 balls of this in my stash that I wanted to use up.. so I bought some of the rust main color to help me create a garment. The 6 balls are gone but now I have 3 skeins of the rust in my stash!! I"m planning to make a hat or scarf.

Projects done and posted on Ravelry

Sedgemoor sweater. Will have to update more later - this weekend maybe.

Back to work..

This is my Sally Melville dress - knit in cotton and took about a month to do.

Bears on my Blanket, in acrylic knits. 1 month to do.

This is a baby blanket that took me about a month to crochet. See my ravelry account for details

Well, It's been forever since I've logged into this and even updated anything. There are a few news items. First, I got married last year in June to a wonderful guy.

We then got married again in Punta Cana and had a fabulous wedding reception there.

Surprisingly enough, the photo can actually be uploaded here. I can't print it unfortunately. The picture was taken by my brother.

This is the only photo I have on my work computer. My wedding album is pretty amazing with the blue ocean in the background. My husband was quite gallant in his poses (on bended knee)

My mother and 1 of my brothers was in attendance. Although no one else, including my bridesmaids, could be there we were very happy and it was beautiful.

Sedgemoor

This masterpiece was knit in 2 weeks. I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

I used 7 balls (only had 8).

Animalerie

This beautiful blanket was knit for my special nephew, Kagan.

I was lucky enough to find fleece animals which were hand-sewn onto the 5x5 knitted piece.

Yarn is Wendy Pampas, mega chunky.

Xmas gift 2009

This little guy is named Shelmi.
He was officially born yesterday! He is being adopted by Kagan and will love his new home. He's so EXCITED to meet him, his tail wagged non-stop. Imagine that!


Shelmi goes to work at the Ottawa Blues Festival - what a treat!

Shelmi shows off his talents... maybe he can be a circus turtle when he grows up..





OOOff.. too much work for a little baby, Time for a rest!

Turtle for Kaegen

Well, I've started the turtle for my new nephew. It's a challenge because I don't really know how to crochet and I"m sort of 'going with the flow' on the pattern. I've looked at a few pictures of cute amigurumi and I'm piecing it together.
I made the first red shell and didn't like it. I was really put out but the book Amigurumi World has a tiny turtle in there with a red shell so I tried it out. In the end, I scrapped the first shell and re-crocheted it into something a bit more 'turtle-shell' like. If you look at the original picture, it looks more like a conch shell than a turtle shell.

SCRAPPED:

Original 'shell' above was scrapped yesterday. See new 'shell' below:

FINAL:

Next step: body .... head, legs, tail..
