I have just finished our knitted Bride and Groom which will feature in our Wedding 25.4.14, but I won't be adding a picture of these just yet as I haven't added their faces. It's very easy to make characters look evil if you get the face wrong so I have been avoiding this till I have lots of time. I will be sewing the faces with my Nan's embroidery threads which she left to me and this will really make them even more special to us.
My next project is more baby knitting. A cardi or two for my lovely friends Amy and Aaron who are expecting their second little girl in a few weeks time.
Then onto some bits for my Cousin Laura who is expecting baby number 3 with her hubby Russ. I'm sure big sister Phoebe and big brother Ezra (who just turned 3) will be very excited to meet this little one. I'm very excited about doing these bits too as, like me, Laura loves knitwear and bold colours so I can really let myself go on this one :)
After that, it will hopefully be onto a commission for my Cousin Becky who would like a cardi! I would love to get it finished in time for the cold weather but that will depend on how quick my hands can go. The adult pieces always take me quite a while. In an effort to get proper lunches away from my desk though I plan to start bringing my needles to work, so that should help with my productivity.
Then it should be Wedding, wedding, wedding... unless anyone else announces a new arrival, which will be great news and I will get back to my baby knitting :)
Oh Kate I can't wait to See what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteThere are some fantastic free patterns on ravelry by the way - check out puerperium, little coffee bean, milo and pebble! I am knitting a cardi for a friend who had a baby girl just yesterday! Then I have another couple of friends due & of course our babe. :)
We are so lucky to have you knit for us! Thank you! xxx
