Baby Winter Cap

I knitted a baby cap to try out the pattern.  It is very quick to make and it is so cute.

 

It is knitted in the rounds.

 I added six little pink flowers to decorate the sides.

Material: worsted or Aran weight.
Knitting needle size: 5.5mm
Pattern: free from Drops Design (http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/us/pattern.php?id=3860&lang=us)

Teddy Bear - all done

We decided to stay home this Thanksgiving holiday.  Since I am not cooking, I have plenty of time to finish my teddy bear toy.

Going outside for some day light.

Size: 11 inches tall standing
Pattern: Birthday Bears & Blankets by Annie's Attic
Material: Red Heart TLC Amore in Chocolate color
Crochet hook: 4mm

Teddy Bear in progress

The clock goes back today; winter is here.  The weather is beautiful this time of the year.
Sitting outside with Poppy, having a cup of tea, enjoying the morning sun, and crochet a few more rounds of a new project.

A teddy bear in progress, just all body parts at the moment.

Lizzie our bathroom lizard

I was cleaning the front bathroom the other day and just missed not vacuuming a tiny baby lizard.  She has the good sense to hide behind the trash can.

 A close up...we named her Lizzie.

A few days later Poppy was waiting for her shower and Lizzie was in there with her.  Top right corner of the floor.

 Can you see her now?

Yup, Lizzie has taken over the bathroom as her home.

Building work

Just a quick post to show you a few pictures of the building work that was involved in updating our bathrooms.  It does look like a building site, doesn't it? 

 Totally gutted out the two bathrooms.

 Bathroom 1 - the after pictures.

 Bathroom 2 - the finished result.

Baby Blanket

I have been away from Blog Land for such a long time; I am surprised to find that it has a complete new layout.  I have to take a moment to look at some of the new features. 

The reason for my long absence is because my craft room was out of action since the last post.  I didn't do much needle work at all. We have to remodel our bathrooms, so the house was like a building site. My craft room turned into an office for my hubby during these times.  The bathroom work is now finished and I am slowly putting things back together.

I started a little baby project.  A baby blanket.  Someone from work is expecting a baby in September.  I am not sure if I like the texture, I might have to frog it.

Then I made this: a cover for my ipad cover.

I know it might sound a bit over the top, but you just have to protect something that is white, right?

Anyway, I hope you have been keeping well, and thank you so much for remembering/visiting this blog.

Cat Bookmark

I work with quite a few animal lovers. One of them is crazy about her cats. She lost one recently in a very sad accident. I made a little gift for this co-worker in memory of her cat.

I gathered some scrape yarns in the color of her pet and started knitting in the rounds.Glued a small piece of felt to the face as the outline before I embroidered the nose.
Add the ears, eyes and mouth...and a cute cat bookmark appears.
Marking the page of a book.
I hope she likes it.
You can find the pattern in Ravelry (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cat-bookmark) or from this website http://twinsknit.blogspot.com
