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!

Christmas Collection

I can't believe I am saying this... but here it goes... Christmas is fast approaching and I am running out of time!! Yes, I know there are still 3 months to go before Christmas is really here but I am trying to get a collection of little hats out for all those Christmas cards and new babies and I just don't seem to be getting anywhere fast enough!

Here is a sneak peak and what I have made so far...

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.

A little time out...

After 2 weeks of annual leave, a little break into the country side with some close friends, I call family, I am back to the surreal world of nine to five's, nursery drop offs, hoovering, laundry, ironing and cooking. Somewhere between all that I still need to find time for knitting, taking some very scary looking photographs of these items and posting them on here!  All that somehow manages to come together, what takes me an age is to write something to go with the post!

So I am hoping the new items that I have been working on will do the talking instead!

New to Prettiknit are mini blankets.   These are approximately 30" x 20".  They are thicker and have a closer knit than the Whimsical Wraps. They are lovely and soft, extremely cuddly with loads of texture.

I have also created a few new headbands! These have a lovely little rose with a sparkly diamanté centre on a cloud of tulle.  So pretty!
