My son's birthday (he is turning nine) is in two weeks time, and I've just decided I will knit him a jumper, since he still wants to wear hand knits, and who know how long that will last.I've chosen a lovely hand spun yarn, and the jumper will be knitted in stocking stitch, and 1x1 rib for the hips, cuffs and neck. He is a tall boy, so I am going with a size 10, lenght: 52 cm, width: 66cm, sleeve

My kids have decided their teddies are cold, so I must knit them some jackets.I started knitting a cardie for this little one last night, it is nearly finished. I just have to finish one sleeve and saw it together. Then I have to knit one for curious george if I can find him!

My first felted project! I wanted to make a quick gift for a friend's birthday, so I decided to knit and felt a little bag for her mobile phone. Boy, was I wrong about the quick part! the knitting part went quickly enough, with just 26sts wide, I finished the bag in a couple of hours, including sawing, and adding some beads for interest, then came the felting! It was really liberating plonking

I was very sad to learn that this will be the last issue of Yarn magazine. I really can't wait until I receive my copy.Hopefully, down the track Barbara will feel recharged and pick up where she left off.I have been spending a lot of time in Revelry, such a wonderful community! I've had the chance to get in touch with so many like minded people. It is also very inspirational, and I have been

The Knitter's Book of Yarn, by Clara ParkesToday I received this wonderful book I ordered from amazon, by the author of KnitersReview.com. I've had a quick read of some of the chapters and I am very pleased with it.If you are into yarn as I am, this book is for you, it goes into great detail about different types of yarn, fibre content, etc. All the things you would expect from a book titled like

Ravelry!!!! what can I say, its absolutely wonderful and I am spending way too much time there, but its just so perfect for yarn and knitting lovers! if you don't know what it is, google it. It'll be worth your time.I've started the quick knit jacket in Jo Sharps Knit, issue 3. I am using Mecha Lisa by Wool Connections so I don't need to use two strands together as the pattern calls for, it's

Back again, my son's jumper is finally finished, I will have to rework some details in the pattern before publishing it, but all in all, its really nice.The pattern and yarn are available fromwww.woolconnection.com.auI am very temped to start a jacket from Jo Sharp's Knit 3 book, it looks really easy and I have the perfect yarn for it.The weather in Sydney, Australia, is getting quite warm now,

The sweater for my son Richard is coming along nicely. I managed to knit it in one piece, and should be finished soon. I've designed this garment one size larger, so my son can wear it next year also. I am still not sure how I will finish the neck and wrists. Here are a couple of pictures showing what I've done so far.

The cold weather has inspired me to finish a jacket with shawl collar for my 2 year old son, I am nearly done, but need to finish sawing...so tedious!!!! The yarn I used is a thick and thin wool yarn (Wool Connection Flame Dan), knitted with 6mm needles. It was quick work in such small size. I just have to find some really cute buttons. My other project is a jumper for my nearly 5 year old son.

Hi! Isn't this the perfect weather for knitting?? (in Sydney anyway, where it is cold and humid!)I have just designed a fitted vest to knit with Woolconnection Astrakan Niebla, It is a simple pattern, with a narrow reverse stocking stitch waist, armholes and neck bands, the rest knitted in Stocking St, with shaping in the waist and a low V neck, to flatter most figures! I should have a photo of

Hello everyone. I was just reading the Creative knitting forum about issue 17. There are a lot of upset people out there! Creative Knitting was the only knitting mag in Australia and it looks like it will be published only once a year. If you would like to see a new magazine take Creative Knitting's place, have your say, what would you like to see in a knitting magazine? How often would you like

The new issue of Creative Knitting is out!!! After much waiting, the magazine is out. There are some nice patterns and articles. You can see two of my designs in there, the green zip vest, and the baby hoodie. I'd like to know what you think of the designs, so please feel free to comment!It is a shame they will only publish a magazine yearly! Maybe there is room for a new knitting magazine in

Knit CreationsToday, I visited the Stitches and Craft show, hoping to see many yarn stores, but I was quite disapointed. There were two nice yarn stores, and some good knitting books, but everything else was related to beading, card making, quilting, etc.All the same, it was nice to be out of the house with a friend talking knitting stuff!The elongated stitch cardigan is coming along nicely.

Hello, This is my first post. In this blog I will share with you my latest knitting designs from idea to creation.The project that I am starting now is a cardigan knitted with garter stitch and elongated stitches knitted sideways, with a shawl collar in 2x2 ribbing. I am still unsure of the details, but at this stage I am thinking of knitting fronts and back in one piece, sleeves and collar band
