WIP Wednesday again

Firstly to Leslie who left a comment regards one of the hats Rufus was modelling recently, the link to the pattern is here on my post FO Hat Trick Kiddie Cadet

Right on to what I'm up to. 

I've not managed to do a great deal of knitting this past few days.  The bunting is more or less finished, pinned but not sewn on yet. 



I also made a pennant for the inside of the playhouse door - letter came from Cool Knitannia supplement from this month's Simply Knitting magazine.  The actual pennant I made up myself, I used some stiff tape to keep the sides from rolling in and a small plant stake for the top and some cord I had in my oddments box.  I don't through anything away


Other than that its been painting the interior of the playhouse.  The flooring is down, a number and alphabet frieze pinned up.

For more WIP join Tami, Yarn Along, Natural Suburbia and Frontier Dreams

FO Hat Trick

Good morning ladies,

The Ten Stitch Twist is finally completed, the last round ended up a bit skimpy due to the fact I was running out of some of the yarns but overall I am pleased with it.  It weighs in at 1520grams and the yarn used was an assortment from the local charity shop and some cones acquired many moons ago, so no idea what any of it is.  My stash is coming down nicely.  One of these days I'll get round to having it all out and sorting.



The next finished project is a Cotton Beanie for Rufus.  His mum wanted me to recreate a hat I knitted him when he was first born and this is a close approximation of it.  The yarn used was Cotton Kapok DK by Sublime Yarns in Tin Soldier and Milkshake, with a few oddments from stash to make up the other stripes.



Next on the list is the Kiddie Cadet Hat also for Rufus and also knitted in the Cotton Kapok DK - colour Tin Soldier. This may be a shade on the big side but I figure he will soon grow into it!




This is all my WIP's completed apart from a pair of socks which are in hibination for now. 

So what to knit now?  Maybe a few summer hats for the little girls I know? A couple of cardigan's for Baby Jones due at the end of July, though still plenty of time for those? A summer top for me?  I bought a cute skirt last week when the sun was shining and thought I'd knit a cotton top to go with it.  I have narrowed it down to these patterns from the Sublime 2nd luxuriously exotic soya cotton hand knit book.  Let me know what you think.  Hubby likes Siam, but I am drawn towards Morroco.

So do you have plans for the Easter weekend?  We have lots of garden projects, some of which involves paving slabs, hammers, nail, wood stain and brushes.  Whatever you are doing don't eat too many bun or chocolate eggs, and if you do enjoy
