A late Creative Space...

What a day.  My space has been filled with piles.

Piles of little cut ends of yarn and almost finished flowers

Piles of little handmade tags

and a nice little pile of finished beanies...

What a week - next week I think that I had better find the wooden table under the pile of mess.

Pasha

Another knit off of the needle and this one is on its way to warm the head of a friend.

Knitted in Berroco Ultra Alpaca and used the Pasha pattern, it is part of the monthly KAL over at Tangled Yarns

You can not really see the lovey lace pattern in the black.  Will knit this again in a different colour.  I think my head needs one too.

At My House..

the electrical appliances have been getting a work out today

 Potato Masher painting at playgroup this morning

A pile of yarn to turn into beanies, the wonderful Steph is doing a market this weekend and offered to take along some of my beanies - so doing them to co-ordinate with her wonderful creations.

And slowly turning this room into a toy/play/sewing/knitting room (the little ones in the house now share a room - there own choice)

Creative Thursdays

There are ALOT around the traps this week - fingers crossed I will find a little time to visit a few (I often pick a number and then do every ten - so 8, 18, 28...you get the picture. Does anyone get through all of them?)

I am enjoying a quick visit from my parents and have had the chance to do a little knitting. 

Have finished the dress for Amelia - all will be shared later - it is a cute pattern from a talented Canadian knitter and designer.

So, I have rewarded myself and cast on the Pasha.

and sat down to read the artical in Notebook about Retro Mummy.  What a lovely read and four great patterns. I think that I might even have to get the sewing machine out soon.

Click, Clack, Cluck!

The two latest knits hot off of the needles and gifted over the weekend.

These are both test knits, so I will link to the patterns when they have been released.  If you are the mother, Grandmother, Nanna, Aunt or knitter of little men you will have to get these patterns,

A Birthday Shawl

My Grandmother turned 80 last week and in true Kylie fashion I am running late with her gift.

I have not done too badly though - considering that I cast it on on the 4th and her birthday is the 6th of July.

Modeled by my in house model. 

I think my Dad is a little worried that the little miss is part of a slave labour scheme here.  Don't be worried though - she gets pleanty knitted for her and is actually bringing me her dress at the moment when she sees it lying around so I can finish it, and has also requested something with the left over yarn.

Pattern:  A few simple shawl patterns all pulled together.
Timeframe: July 3rd - 11th 2010
Yarn: Araucania Ranco Solid from American Yarns, Brisbane 1.5balls
Needles:  4.5mm Circulars (just kept changing the cable length as I went

My Creative Space

has a pile of Works in Progress in it this week.

I am itching to cast on something new - but am stopping myself. 

On the WIP pile is a beanie and little bubba blue vest (to be finished and gifted on Saturday)

Joining together a blanket so my Mum can take it back to Mackay with her (she did the knitting portion of it - humm - she must not know that I despise joining things together)

An almost finished shawl - just have to weave in the ends)

A few things to sew up for a swap

That 70's Dress - test knit - am running out of the main yarn.

Off to finish off a few things and stop myself from looking at new ball of yarn calling my name.

Grab yourself a hot drink and head over to Kootoyoo.
