My knitting projects and designs
Today’s toy is a knittted Christmas tree with beads so it works as a fidget toy. Design by Craftingintx. Using Bernat velvet and size 10 (6 mm) knitting needles, this was quick to make. I used a crochet hook to put the silver beads on every other row. I would decrease one stitch in from…
Today’s toy is a knitted mouse. Design by Amanda Berry. Using Bernat velvet, Mainstays velvet, and 3 mm needles, this was fun to knit. I like how squishy it is. Planning to make the other three designs. First time using Mainstays velvet yarn. It doesn’t have much structure, but the softness is unbelievable. I wish…
Today’s item is a knitted snowman hugging a gift card. Design by Lily / Sugar’n Cream. Using Premier Just Yarn and 3.25 mm knitting needles, this was fun to make. I didn’t like the arms of the card holder. I made other snowmen that just have a pocket, not arms. The Just Yarn is at…
Today’s toy is a knitted whale. The pattern is by Jean Greenhowe. Using Craft star acrylic yarn and size 0 needles, this is rather small. I like the construction. Maybe next time I will add wire so it can be posed.
Today’s toy is a knitted doll dressed as Little Red Riding Hood. This pattern is by http://www.knitssachi.com Using Hobbii’s 8/4 cotton, Yarn Bee Soft Secret, and size 2 needles, this came out really small. I love the details. There are pipe cleaners in the shoes and legs.
Today’s toy is a knitted mouse, Harold fatmus, by Clare Hutchinson. Using Red Heart, Bernat, Lion Brand, Knit Picks dishie, Hobbii’s rainbow 8/4 cotton, and both size 2 and 3 needles, color work was so fun on a toy. I used the size 2 needle for the ears and tail. I put an entire ball…
Today’s toy is a knitted bear by Betty Lampen. This is a simple garter stitch bear made out of rectangles. Using Premier Bloom Chenille and size 3 needles, it was very simple. I added a ribbon around the neck. My notes from my Ravelry project page: I knitted on the legs before sewing up the…
Today’s toy is a knitted elephant by Jean Greenhowe. Using Lion brand, Red Heart yarn, and size 3 needles, this was a joy. The Ice Cream yarn stripes, so that was easy. The feet were cleverly crafted that I might use in future designs. I put a pipe cleaner in the trunk so it is…
Today’s toy is the knitted winter mouse by Jean Greenhowe. Using Hobbii’s rainbow 8/4 cotton, Sheepjes catona, and size 2 needles, this was a joy to make. Love making toys that are Christmas themed. The thing she is holding is a package.
Today’s toy is a knitted mouse from Jean Greenhowe. Using Hobbii’s friends 8/4 cotton and Scheepjes catona and size 2 needles, this was fun to make. Many pieces to sew on and I fluffed out the cotton with a wire brush. That was painful to my fingers.
