I've been.... knitting!!!

Hello!

You guessed it, I've been knitting!

I've also been hating blogger
Does anyone else have the latest internet versions and has to fight with their settings?
I can't even see mine...

Just to get this far, is a mission in itself!

So anyhoo....

Mum taught me to knit at the end of July and I've been busy making things

I made this first, out of acrylic to see if I liked knitting
I decided I did like knitting, but not using acrylic 

Then I made this vest and learnt cables
( which are a LOT easier than they look )

and this matching hat
well, its based on that
A Ravelry friend did an alteration of it and I used her pattern

They're for my future neice
If its a girl that is

I haven't started boy items yet - I have a whole month before its due

I also knitted this beanie for a workmate, and crocheted the Logo
I'm not going to lie, the bat was a pain to make and a pain to sew on
Workmate was happy so thats all that matters! 

and finally, I finished some ' rasta ' slippers in crochet for my brother
They were a mix of these slippers but he wanted
' those bits that go up your legs like socks '   

of course he wanted them to go with his new phone case I had previously made...


I'm sure I'll get more orders from him so I'm keeping the black, red, yellow and green yarn at the ready

So thats why I haven't blogged lately - because as you can see, I've been super super busy!
