What are you knitting? What should I do next?

[DickSwivellersTidyWife]

I am a beginner/intermediate, hate sewing up.

I have just done a hat for me - Whistler Beanie from a Sublime book, and a baby beanie , Rosey Posie Beanie , also Sublime.

I have a huge stash of DK yarns of varying niceness. Lots of small people patterns and books.

So, another baby hat?
Bootees - not done those before.
A toddler hat knitted in the round? I have a set of circs and some DPNs for Christmas and Itty Bitty Hats book but have been too chicken to try knitting in the round yet
this Pixie hat ?
Or these cute bunnies

What do you reckon?

I've made these and they are VERY cute aaaah, almost worth having another baby just so they can wear them

Darned - grins don't work in links. Here it is HERE

I am knitting breasts for the local hospital.

pattern here on ravelry

Currently doing a striped tank top for ds2. Using up lots of old bits of yarn like you OP. Actually most of my scraps are left over from a striped jumper my mum knitted for my brother about 25 years ago, and she used lots of the scraps making Christmas jumpers for her and my dad. And I have already used lots in a crochet blanket. I love seeing the same colours and being reminded of all those other projects. It's a bit like a patchwork quilt, in a knitted kind of way. Anyway, I LOVE the bsj and I think that's going to be my next project. Thank you for introducing me to it!

Saartje's booties are just unbelievably cute, aren't they? I'm sure if I didn't have four friend-babies to knit for I would be considering having another child for this reason

Currently finishing off the frill on some kidsilk Haze mittens,finding it very fiddly but going to finish as already have the scarf,only one seam.I hate sewing up too hoping my local yarn shop is going to do a course soon.

Lots of shrugs have only a little seam,try searching Ravelry

Am about to start a cable cushion cover

LOL yy Tribpot and that would be entirely reasonable. BTW I have nobbled a expert knitter (I am an amateur) to make the Kate Middleton Cardigan thingy for me like you suggested on other thread Using this pattern and lovely fluffy Debbie Bliss wool!

Here's a brilliant site btw - free patterns (adults & children) and the clearest, most hassle-free video tutorials: [www.verypink.com]

There's also a great explanation of how to knit with dpns, for anyone who's getting to grips with a new technique. Highly recommend taking a look.

Grr. Link fail - try again: www.verypink.com

Mini- that's a lovely pattern! I note the designer has very cleverly hidden her inspiration by calling it the Catherine bolero

Thanks Salteena am going to have a look

Those videos are good - I was put off by some of the patterns needing paying for but the videos are available for everyone. Am watching now

Tribot - Yes, I would perhaps suggest a career move to MI5 might not be in the offing...

Mini - MI5 I think have not yet tapped into the undercover knitwear specialist market :) Unless the reason knitting patterns have got so hard to understand is because they contain coded messages?! OMG!

I'm moving to Toddington Bedfordshire soon-does anyone know where my nearest wool shop would be?

There's one in Olney. Not sure how far that is. Is in Buckinghamshire of course.
Join Ravelry, there is a group of Bedfordshire knitters, they'll tell you. I'm in Northants.

I did you a Google Maps search but I agree with DutchOma, have a look on Ravelry. For basic supplies there's a Hobbycraft in Milton Keynes.

I have just finished Tiziana's shawl 'Le Bon Mariage' and it is so not for beginners, I tell you. It took me four months and about 30 messages to Tiziana (in Italy) with photographs to get it sorted. But now that it is finished it is amazing. The most beautiful (and difficult) thing I ever did. You can check on Ravelry if you like, same user name.
BSJ is wonderful, I did the first one of mine in a day and a half because I was just so curious to see how it would turn out. Since then I have done about six.
My next project is a Boobie Beanie, the pattern for that is on Rav as Breast hat.

Oh and another thing: You must come to FibreEast on 14th and 15th July. It's in Thurleigh, Beds.

Thank you that's a good idea and I'll definitely look up FibreEast- thanks DutchOma. I'd found a shop in Dunstable on the internet so will try and find that one too!!

I'm just starting a perugina throw by Colinette, loving it and hoping it'll be a quick knit too after doing a few knits for the boy which took a little time...

Beautiful, TwoJack! Which colour are you going for?

I got the skylark one, so mostly dark blues with a bit of pink in it, it's a really really nice combination :)

Puerperium cardigan this was lovely to knit and it's seamless. I knitted the main body on some longer needles that I had and then the sleeves were done on two circular needles using magic loop. I am really pleased with it as I hate seaming up and it looks so tiny and cute. Took me four evenings to make up. Pattern is free on Ravelry.

I tend to do lots of baby knits for friends, or little girl knits for DD.

That is such a darling pattern, Kellystar I've downloaded and printed it and will do it when I next run out of knitting
