WIP - Knitting - Baby Kina

I started this Baby Kina a few nights ago.

I'm happy to say that it is almost complete. I just need to sew the underarm and add some buttons.

Now I need to work out what I am going to make next ...

Finished Item - Crochet - Moss Stitch Baby Blanket

I really like how this blanket has turned out.
I ended up doing double crochet (single crochet) for the border.
I haven't made this for anyone specific but I am sure this blanket will find a new home soon enough.

The blanket measures 80 cm x 84 cm

VIDEO: Silt Stitch by Hopeful Honey

I like the look of this stitch. It would make a great background squares for my applique blankets, for a blanket or perhaps even a scarf.

Fitbit Wrist Bands

I bought myself some new straps/bands for my Fitbit Alta from a seller on ebay.

I bought three in total. I am currently wearing the blue one.

They are so easy to change over. In fact I like the idea of having bands I can swap over I have now purchased two more to add to my collection.

sorry not the best photo

WIP - Crochet - Moss Stitch Blanket

I am really liking how this blanket is turning out. I wish I had more of this yarn as I don't think this blanket will be much larger than it is right now. I guess I should get the old tape measure out and see how bit it really is.

The colours look amazing.

Ice Yarn Shopping

I have been shopping online for some Ice Yarn which I purchase from the Knit4Charities group that I belong to. They are resellers of the yarn and they don't mark up the prices. Brodie wanted to get me some yarn for Mother's Day but I wasn't ready to order any yarn before now. That being said he and I went halves in what I did purchase.

Magic Light - Grey shades, white

Magic Baby - Blue shades, white

Magic Baby - Orange shades, white

Magic Baby - Maroon, orchid, white

Magic Baby - Lilac shades, pink, white

I love the colours that I have chosen. I have no idea what I will be making with them. Hopefully they will arrive within a week as they are being delivered via courier and not Australia Post. Only time will tell as they are being sent from Turkey. Cross your fingers for me!

WIP - Crochet - Moss Stitch Baby Blanket

I began working on this a couple of days ago. I am using the moss stitch which is super easy to do.

This yarn is also super soft (it's an acrylic from Kmart). I thought I would make random stripes as well. I think it looks pretty.

WIP - Crochet - The Midwife Blanket

While at the Knit and Natter group on Tuesday afternoon I began a new midwife blanket.

I wanted to make something that I knew I wouldn't make a mistake on if I was busy chatting and not looking at my work. 

I crocheted like a crazy person. This is just two days worth of work.
At this rate I need to start thinking about what my next project will be! And quickly.

Knit & Natter

I went to a Knit and Natter today. It's only my second visit.
I thought I would take some of the things I have made which one of the ladies will pass on to a local charity called Olivia's Place. You can check out their website HERE or their Facebook page HERE

Sorry about the blurry photo

There are around 10 blankets in total.

21 beanies and three baby outfits.

I am very happy that there is a local charity that I can give my baby items to. It is somewhere I know that they will be given, not sold, and to Mums in need.

Thankful Thursday

Here's what I am thankful for this week:

• being able to speak with my Bishop at Church to sort out some things I needed to share, all good stuff though
• being able to say farewell to a friends husband who had passed away recently. The funeral service was a lovely send off with lots of great memories shared
• being able to go to a Knit and Natter group on Tuesday. I had never been to one before.
• lots of cool but mild weather & some rain
• seeing lots of autumn colours. The red leaves on some of the trees are amazing!

WIP - Crochet - Dragonfly blanket

I've made a good start with the dragonfly blanket. I started making it exactly the same way as the midwife blanket. It is working up nicely. I'm not too sure if you can see the design properly but I am loving the colours I chose, especially the variegated green.

Sizes for Baby/Toddler/Adult Blankets

This was shared in the Australian Crochet Group on Facebook that I belong to.

I have rounded down (or up) on the sizes for centimetres. 

Lovey: 25 cm x 25 cm

Security: 35 cm x 43 cm

Stroller: 76 cm x 89 cm

Receiving: 100 cm x 100 cm

Toddler: 100 cm x 132 cm

Swaddle: 119 cm x 119 cm

Lapghan** 122 cm x 122 cm
Throw: 132 cm x 152 cm

Twin: 149 cm x 215 cm

Full/Queen: 228.6 cm x 228.6 cm

Super Queen: 243 cm x 238 cm

King: 274 cm x 228.6 cm

** I got the sizing for the lapghan from The Crochet Crowd (48 inches x 48 inches)
