The first pair

These are so easy to knit, although you end up with lots of pieces to put together, which can be quite fiddly.

There three different styles to choose from, this is the long legged fisherman's rib.

I just love that the legs are lined.

 

I'm going to try the other two styles, then I'll decide which of them I'd prefer in the adult size.  This is going to be fun.

 

If anyone else wants to join in the fun, the pattern is King Cole 3275 double knit.  Sizes go from 1-2years to adult.

So Cute

Last week, I saw a lovely pattern for knitted slippers.  Actually, they are more like knitted boots, but I loved the look of them, I just had to try them.

I thought I keep it simple and try the small ones first, if they turned out OK, then I'd do the big ones.

These are the soles for the first pair, and they look so sweet!

 

Now, all we need is the uppers, and the legs.

Hooded Vest

This cotton yarn definitely goes a long way.

This is the second top, this one for age 6-9 months, and there is still some leftover.

Probably time for another dishcloth

Mr Panda

As you can probably tell from the lack of posts, it has been busy here over the last week or so.  In between I have been busy with the knitting needles.  By Tuesday, I had a little pile of body parts that needed sewing together.

Tuesday tea time, we had a completed panda, but he needed a ribbon so that he would be properly dressed.  The only ribbon I had that was the right width was black, and we were all in agreement, that it needed to be white.

While I was out yesterday, we got some white so our little friend is now all complete.  I just love his little tail!

There is plenty of the yarn leftover, so I'll use it up to make another little hoodie, but in the next size up.

Baby Knits

I had to go to plan B with my other knitting, but in the meantime, I thought baby items were quick and satisfying to do.  Added to that, there are babies on the way, and as we don't know the sex yet, we might as well prepare early.

This sleeveless hoodie is knitted in 100% 4 ply cotton, and in the size for a three month old, it was quick to knit.

In due time, to accompany this jumper, will be a "panda".  Hopefully, it won't take too long to knit.  So far the legs have been done, and the arms are in progress.
