Goodness 2 in a week

Just when you thought I'd disappeared I give you 2 posts in a week!  I have also updated the pages which you can find along the top bar.

The slipover for Gus is now completed.  I love it.  I used Berroco Comfort and there is more than enough to make a top for Jess.  I have cast on Mud Puddles , and plan to add a couple of bands of the same pattern long the lower part, so they are sort of matching

 Jess here modelling a hat I made a while back, also one of her many cardigans.  I love her curls

and of course Gus in his bobble hat

Oliver Cromwell was sporting a "hat" in St Ives on Monday, I guess he wouldn't have been too pleased

Spending time with all the grandchildren on Saturday, so hopefully I can snap a few more hand knits in action.

Proof of the pudding

I forgot to post pictures of my cooked Christmas puddings, so here we go, they are all repackaged and stored away for now, but believe me they smelt so good

These are a couple of knits that I've completed for Rufus, I really must stop taking the pictures at night as they really don't photograph well, hopefully I can post some more of him modelling them in a better light

The hoodie I finished this evening.  I need to decide what to knit next.  I think Rufus has enough to be going on with for now, so maybe a throw or something to try and use up some of my stash which just never seems to diminsh! But then I do have a small forest of fabric Christmas trees that need decorating so maybe I should get those done first, time is running out only 3 weeks til Christmas.  Have you got your shopping done yet?

Holiday knitting........

 Fairisle slipover for Rufus

Fliptop Mitts for Rachel, she knitted a matching hat

another slipover for Rufus which is nearly finished

I also made 4 bean-bags in various sizes from the felted Breton jumper and a few pom poms with my new toy, not as much fun as 2 bits of cardboard, but very quick, so as you can see I used my leisure time well
