A knitting/crochet progress thread

[CarolAird]

Hi all,
For a few weeks I've been knitting a blanket for my DP and I'd love to see what other people are knitting/crocheting at the moment!

Here's the latest picture of my blanket

Just sitting down to do it now:) one bootie is not much good!

Found you!

Almost finished Random Snuggly for my kids (for a change!
You can see in the close up that there's some sparkly yarn (various leftover King Cole Shine) the rest is SSDK.
On 10mm hook

First post in this section. I haven't knitted for decades, but I've recently started making clothes for DD3's Corolle Cherie dolls after balking at the price of the outfits on sale. I've found lots of patterns for Sindy and Barbie online, and find that knitting with size 9s (instead of 12 or 13) with aran rather than 4 ply sizes them up nicely with only a few adjustments. (Sindy is still awaiting her second riding boot. ) The swimsuit is a bit short in the body, will need a bit of extra length if I make another.

Skirt and top here:

Oh dear, image display fail! Let's try again:

And that top and skirt:

I cant crochet but last year decided to take up knitting again and knitted a quidditch jumper for dd for xmas.
This year i started early and knitting hats for little ones in family. Am also supposed to be knitting an aran laptop case

Have finally finished blanket for DS1 due Wednesday. Body is knitted with a crochet wave edge. Nemo appliqué.

Forgot photo

Loving all the work on here! I've just started learning crochet (first circle attached) - addictive much?!

Ooh Pyjamas, how do you do that? I'm just learning too.

Am doing this online course Jerry www.gethookedoncrochet.co.uk/online-crochet-course/

It's really good!

That looks interesting. I think I may need to go to a real class though.

My first ever creation! A hat!

well, amazement really and

I'd hoped to finish my first amigurumi today, but the eyes I ordered online turn out to not be the right sort so I can't finish it yet

Finished this hat for ds 21 today but dont think it will fit him. It is supposed to be large adult. Just fits me

Very impressed with your hat Pyjamas i cant crochet at all and Pikachu is cute tizwozliz

Next project is going to be a blanket although I'm not 100% set on the style or colour yet. I want something that can be worked in squares and joined later and it's taking me forever to decide on colours. I really like the Attic24 colour packs, but I want wool rather than acrylic.

Lila Bjorn Winter Blanket. It's only 1/2 done. It has squares round the edge and then a massive border. It's the only thing l've ever stuck at, as every part of it is different. I get bored easily!

Thanks is the saddo thing though. I'm allergic to the fibres in every single yarn except silk. Obviously l can't afford silk. So l now wear a dust mask when lm crocheting. Works a treat, but dd dies of embarrassment every time 😁

Here are a few recent items I've finished, or almost finished.
First the Random Snuggly blanket. it started as a give-away project to use up leftovers but my 3 youngest liked it so much as it expanded that I decided to keep it for them.
Yarn mainly SSDK & King Cole Shine (plus a few other bits), 10mm hook

Some hats I made for various people

I've just come back to this thread - what an impressive thread!

I think in my last post I mentioned another baby blanket (was months and months ago ) so thought I'd add some pics of a few things I've made (the baby blanket and 2 Christmas presents).

I've also made some Christmas things too.

Can I ask, does anyone here make picture blankets using a graph? Is there an easy way to do it? I am making an avengers blanket for DH and it has taken me ages to get as far as a green background with the word SMASH on it in black (for the bottom of the Hulk section). It's driving me mad

I'm currently knitting my daughter's Christmas jumper. I just have the sleeves to finish so hoping to get it done this week. I recently finished a Forever Friends jumper for her too. She's only 2 so still happily wears my knitted efforts.
