Knitting

some people have just got it havent they? hip before it was hip

i think there is an underground of knitters out there.. the best thing about making your own stuff.. its your style.. those one-off pieces unique / mod like.. this all kicked off just before christmas.. my youngest wanted a pair of mitts from H&M.. grey with a cable, after searching the west end i realised that knitware and cables are so in at the mo..

anyway H&M they had sold out and she didn't want any other colour.. so i went to the only shop i knew that had the gear.. libertys by regent street.. searched a few places on-line like ravelry.. and worked it out from there, things haven't changed much but the merino wool/kid mohair yarn i used was quality

okay so the mitts are a bit wonky, the cuffs are baggy, the thumbs are tight but Skye loves them.. only because i made them for her.. sounds a bit like bagpuss lol

i had wool left over, so thought why not a hat.. nothing since
