I have been busy knitting various things recently, by hand.
My first attempt at following a crochet pattern.
Socks for my mum, can't remember the name of the yarn or the pattern.
A mini Clapotis, for my mum, knitted using 2 skein Lornas Laces sock yarn.
A Yuletide Gnome :-D
The pattern is Rose Red, was given the pattern and yarn as part of the swap. Lovely colours, and it actually looks ok on me. The yarn is Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend.
Mitts from Noro Designer Mini Knits, I used Noro Silk Garden Lite, 1 skein for both and they are mine hehehe
And finally a cute wee Gansey Style sweater for my grandson. This is actually darker IRL. I used Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino.
My wee grandson will 1 year old next month, doesn't seem like almost a year since he entered our lives. I babysit once a week and it is amazing how much he has grown. He dances to the Scooby Doo tune and various adverts as well. He can get from A to B very quickly on his hands and knees. And if he doesn't want his lunch he shakes his hands in front of him as if to say no, no, no. He is quite a character .

Absolutely fab knits ( and crochet-go you! what's that pattern? it's very pretty).
Love the new name!!!
The pattern is the Sweet Pea Shawl form The Happy Hooker. I think the yarn was Patons DK. Once I had read the instructions a few times and got started it was too bad to do :-D
woow, you have been busy! Some gorgoeus knits there.
