Stocking up my stash....

In the hope of getting reading for a craft fayre later in the year I have been busy restocking

my stash of crochet ittybittyblankies

These are crocheted in a wool/acrylic mix

and come in roughly between 26ins-28 ins square

or between 67-72cms

I've always got work in progress

This wool mix is sumptuous - beautifully soft and tactile

This delicate pastel mix is in a very fine DK acrylic

but is perfectly soft and hard wearing

Baby blue in worked in a soft DK blend for

a traditional baby ittybittyblankie

Itty bittie blankies...

The cold winter nights are just perfect for knitting and crocheting. 

Here are a few of my latest projects.

All the blankies are just the right size for a baby or toddler to curl up with and be all cosy and warm.

The yarn used throughout is durable double knitting wool and will stand being washed in the washing machine on a wool cycle. 

Eek...they would probably shrink if dried in the tumble dryer.

This pink and turquoise crocheted blankie is made from a soft mingled baby yarn

This pretty blankie is crocheted in a multitude of warm colours

This mitred square knitted blankie is

made in warm earth coloured tones of brown and cream.

It's the perfect size for a baby carry seat.

This Blue and grey blankie is sightly larger than the toddler/baby blankies and would make a lovely warm lap blanket for an adult.

Ittybitty bargainbag....

My little ittyknitty bargain bag - I bought the wool for pence from a remnant box, the buttons came from my mother's stash of buttons circa 1950s and the handles were free with a knitting mag...

Ittybittybed blankie....

This crocheted blankie is a nice size for a bed throw.

Designed in shades of brown and cream and using Aran weight yarn

 perfect for Autumn nights to come.

  

Itty bitty Gift Bags

I decided to knit some small and quirky gift bags for those little items which are small and fiddly but which will look great in a little bag of their own.

 The bag is knitted in oddments of double knitting used double stranded throughout

the whole of the project

The pretty cotton lining is a small piece taken from 

a fat quarter

Its approximately 11cms excluding handles

and 16 cms wide

Crochet mania..

Since Christmas I have mastered the basics of crochet and can now crochet enough squares to make a Granny Square Throw

It's such fun

to watch little squares 

grow

into enough squares to

 make 

a pretty Spring Throw
