Knitted Flower

Another pattern found via fellow blogger Kandi Pandi. She very kindly included the pattern on her blog.

I'm not a knitter as such, I just know some basics. But, I thought it looked fairly easy, although the bit in the pattern which gives it the fluted look had me slightly worried, and then relieved when it turned out fine! (Kandi's instructions were spot on).

When I was looking for a button to sew into the middle this was the first one I found. I thought it was perfect!

I'm pleased with the outcome, perhaps its a little bigger, bulkier that I thought it should be. Not sure if I will make anymore... I may do!

A Little Bit Of Knitting

I'm not a knitter, I found it tricky when I was a child when my Mum tried to teach me. The best I managed was a knitted teddy in garter stitch. However, my daughter has a go at knitting every now and then, so I have taught myself some basics so I can help her along. Whilst searching the internet for some easy beginners patterns I came across these knitted stockings by Jean Greenhowe http://www.jeangreenhowe.com/patterns.html I always have a go to see how easy the pattern is!



I've got a bit carried away as they knit up quite quickly! The last one is awaiting stitching up! My daughter decided to try the Nittybod on the same webpage!
