Doggie Jumper is finished!

I am proud to say the jumper is finished! After the second attempt I am pretty happy with it! There are quite a few mistakes but I still think its good for a first/second attempt!

I also decided to add a nice little bow and trim. I will post the video for the bow at the bottom, is so quick and easy!

Doggie Jumper

Progress update! Well after starting the first one and almost finishing it I realised that it was going to be far far too small! I did learn you need to make things initially bigger than you think you do as they always turn up a bit smaller!

So I started again and here is the new one, (on the right) I have finished the body & back legs. Next is the front arm holes and neckline.

Doggie Jumper!

An odd project! But I have decided to crochet my sisters Yorkshire terrier a little jumper. This is the beginning! Fingers crossed it will fit!

Scarf Update!

The scarf is developing well! It has tripled if not more in size since my last post! I have also experimented with tassels on the end to see what they look like. Personally I like them, any opinions?

Cable Knit Scarf

I have started knitting a cable knit scarf today! Is a lovely cream wool, the same as the fingerless gloves I created in my previous post. This is the current status, but will keep updating!

Fingerless Gloves no.2 finished

I have finishes the gloves. I am very happy with them! I am going to experiment and see if I can make them have the optional mitten over fingers which a lot of gloves have these days.

Two grey knitted headbands!

I have finished to grey knitted headbands for a friend! They both have crochet flowers on them :)

Fingerless Glove No.2!

I am making another pair of fingerless gloves. I have made one so far, which is yet to be sewn to create the glove!

Beret no 2

Well I said I was getting on well with my second beret but it has been a bit if a disaster! I ran out of wool and isn't big enough! Here is it at its unfinished but finished state! Haha

Beret Hat Number 2!

I was very impressed with my first hat so I have decided to make another! I am using a different wool, which looks like 'blue denim'. Its a lovely colour and will match a lot of things I have!

I will use the same video as last time, but I think I may either add a flower or pom pom to it when finished!

This is its status so far...

FINISHED SNOOD!

I have finally finished the snood and I am very pleased with it! Its very soft and is going to make an excellent Christmas present, along with the matching gloves!

Marcie ♥

Snood very nearly finished!

Previously in the post about the fingerless glove I spoke about a matching snood! I just wanted to post a status update that we are almost at completion! Hurray!

I'm pretty chuffed with it so far! It a basic rib stitch, as I didn't want the stitch or pattern to be over powering as it is more about the snood design itself. 

Here it is at the moment!

Crochet Beret/ Beanie

I done this all this evening, didn't take me long at all! As i said in the previous post, I am yet to learn how to use circular or more than 2 needles, so if I wanted to knit a hat it wouldn't be possible so I decided to crochet one! This was very easy to follow and I would recommend watching the video! Has a very good step by step!

The hat is modelled by my lovely friend! :)

I absolutely love the turquoise colour, is a lovely warming autumn colour!

Here is the video:

Fingerless Glove!

I am not one of the expert knitters who can use circular needles or more than 2 needles yet so I am yet to learn how to knit gloves and socks! But the first step for me was to make these fingerless gloves!

They were very easy! Simple knit & purl again, and I decreased the stitches by 2 to create a smaller size for the wrist :)

I am currently making a matching snood! So that will be posted very soon!

Cheap easy T-shirt scarf!

I know this isn't knitting or crochet but I really wanted to talk about it! I watched this video on YouTube and I thought it was such a brilliant idea! So i tried it and it passed!

I bought a £, XXL navy t-shirt from the men's section in Primark, cut it in strips, pulled the strips and gather them and bam, you have a lovely scarf!

Here it is!

And this is the video I used:

Enjoy!

Knitted Cushion

This was just an experiment really! It consists of a rib stitch- 2 knit, 2 purl repeated, reversed on back row

I got the cushion itself from Wilkinson for ridiculously cheap, like £2 or something!

It was quick to do and effective I think! :)

Headbands!

I had a bit of an obsession making these if I'm honest! They consist of a variety of stitches and styles.

The general style was of: 2 Knit, 2 Purl then a cable with 6 knit stitches and 2 Knight and 2 Purl
On the back row I would reverse these stitches, and do the cable every 7 rows


Here are some examples

On this one I crocheted a flower to give it a more personal touch!

These headbands are a real variety! The closest one is a seed stitch, and the second furthest is plain knit & purl with a rib and knit bow

Welcome World!

Just wanted to introduce myself! I am a knitting & crochet over-enthusiast! I love experimenting and learning new things! I have generally taught myself to do most the things I have made :) 

I think many more teenagers (me being 18) should do more of these arts and crafts! They are brilliant, fun and cheap things to do and I love it! 

So I hope you enjoy reading through my blog, learn some new things and also think of things to wear/ style!
