Easter Bunny

I cannot believe that it is almost Easter! I keep seeing the stores laden with easter eggs and keep thinking that its still ages away...save to say its not and its about time I posted these lovely hats on my Etsy store.

I only have 2 available, orange and green.  Something slightly different yet fun for boys and girls! Made from the ever so soft kid silk mohair, these little hats are for newborn bunnies!

Reflection...

2012 saw the start of my little hobby go public.  Knitting little hats and wraps for photographers has certainly  helped me pass the time, even with all the stress that it (sometimes) brings, I have loved every minute of it.  A big thank you to everyone who has helped me, bought my items or given me encouragement or advice.

Happy New Year

Well, what a busy month it has been! My mom came over from South Africa early December to spend 2 months with us. We went away for a lovely, but very cold, week in Elveden, went back to work for a week, then Christmas came along and now it's 2013!!! Safe to say I am glad things have calmed down and I can get back to knitting! Although I did have a few projects going on that I somehow managed to squeeze in!



I am currently putting together a RTS sale. Just working on a few more items for some variety. This will be posted on my Facebook page. So keep an eye out for that!

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! May 2013 bring you many happy moments!

A big thank you to Natasha Wiening Photography for the use of this amazing photo.

Mohair Collection

I have been dying to knit  little hats from the beautiful mohair blend yarns I have but have been putting it off because of its fine texture and ultra small needles that it would require.  But with a little persuasion from the lovely Natasha Wiening Photography,  I have knitted a few little hats to co-ordinate with the lovely wraps I make. All of these have detachable flower in a contrasting colour.  Great for mixing them up and changing the look in seconds.

Coming soon...

Its been a bit of a hectic week, getting back to work, knitting up some orders and setting up an online store!  

I didn't realise how work much went into setting up a store! I have had to export my photos into various file formats, several times over, type out product descriptions, several times over, set up terms and conditions, several times over, keeping fingers crossed it doesn't crash out on me - several times over!!!  Then figuring out how it all works has proved to be quite a challenge that has run way past my bedtime - several times over!!!!!  EEEK!

But! Not much left to do now, so I should hopefully have the site up and running next week!  Just need to find some time to put my feet up and catch my breath before the next week rolls in!

A Stitch In Time...

I remember sitting in class, loathing to knit a single stitch, waiting for the day we were told we could take our knitting home to work on over the weekend.  What I was really looking forward to was getting back to school to say "Hey, look how far I've knitted, a-ha yes, I did all this, all by myself!"  .....well lets just say that that wasn't exactly the case.  I would beg my Mom to help me, and of course, knit untidily so it looked like me!

Now, many many years later, I am knitting and I am happy to report I don't get my Mom to help, with an ocean and a continent between us, I've had to do it all by myself!  

So what is it that I knit? The answer is newborn photo props.  I wish I could say a blanket or a cardi, but facing 100+ stitches still terrifies me.  Give me a chunky yarn and some fat needles and I'll knit you a  hat in an hour!  If I'm feeling adventures I'll swop the chunky yarn for some lace weight yarn and knit you a wrap in 2!  If I can do it in a day, between juggling being a mother, wife and employee, its my kind of thing!
