Knitting

thats not all Granny got 2 grate Gran kids i think i will go to bed for xmas :lollol:

 

My son in law's granparents have 22 great grandchildren

 

thought i was bad is she going away for xmas :flag:

 

Hiding I should imagine. i wonder if she knows all their names? She is in her nineties.

 

I have knit that shawl pattern in the past ( the last time being 5 years ago ) but I don't think I have the patience for it now LOL I always have several things on the go at once but then get fed up for a couple of weeks LOL and just clearing a backlog off now,doing to baby cardies,a waistcoat for me and an aran cardie for eldest daughter ( grown up) , started it last year oops LOL

 

hi dedrah like you i have got several things on at the same time i knit all the time when i finch one must cast the next one on

 

Well done ladies such beautiful work.

High Kype there's nothing better than a hand knitted shawl and newborns look so very sweet wrapped up in them it kind of makes me broody but I'm pretty sure I can wait for grandchildren.

I have always loved knitting although lately all I have knitted is a Cookie Monster jumper (which needs sewing together) also a far few scarfs and quite a lot of hats which are so surely needed it being so cold of late.

I tend to like bright colourful character knits and both our boys worn some stunning jumpers when they were small. In fact my very first jumper knit was for my son Dan which I knitted his name on the front and boy did he love that! Hel.xxx.

 

I have now finished a pullover, but had to send off for an extra ball of yarn as I didn't have enough (although I got the amount the pattern said). Still, it looks good and I am now onto my next project which is a waistcoat sort of thing in blues. I do hope the yarn holds out this time, as sending off for extra is a pain as you probably won't get the same dye lot and only need a small bit, not a whole 50g or, worse, 100g.

 

hi Hel like you i love to see the kids in home knitting thy look so worm :gnthb:
Tiarella put a pic up and lets see it hope you got the yarn :gnthb:

 

That is lovely, takes me back to when I was never without needles in my hands, till the girls were about 12, then they didn't want any more hand made anythings, as I used to make all thier clothes too. I must admit I couldn't be bothered now., but I can still admire and appreciate the work that goes into the garments.

 

used to knit and crochet a lot in the past but somehow I seem to have moved away from that, although I still have the occassional urge to get the knitting needles out.

might just do that once I have sorted out everything else.

 

I've just ordered this and the wool in that colour. I don't know if it'll arrrive before Christmas. hard to find wool shops now isn't it.
