Knitted Blanket for Zoey's Baby DollZoey has turned five years old this year. Happy Birthday, dear Zoin'ka. One of her presents was a baby doll and a blanket. I knitted this small blanket from Cotton. The colours are Zoey's favourite, especially purple. When Zoey was born, she got a similar 'real' blanket.

Toronto "Easter Island"The 'Fantastic Infinity Scarf' inspired by the knitting shop in Florida is now enjoying the spring weather in Toronto :-)
February in Florida Fantastic Infinity Scarf I saw this beautiful shawl in a really nice yarn shop in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida - Knit or Knot Yarns. I loved the design, the yarn, and the name - Infinity Shawl.

Evergreen Winter KnitsMy December knit was a "Green Mittens and Turtleneck Dickey" project. Green is a very popular colour in December. And it worked out really well on the Evergreen's Market Skating rink - pine trees and ice. Click on image to go to the Evergreen's Market website In both knits I used cables. To see more green cables, click on the image above - scroll down to Knit. Google. Knit, More cables and mittens here Mid December - still green :-) Waiting for a white Christmas ... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!November Awesome Owl MotifI always wanted to use an owl motive in my knitting. This November, I decided to give it a go and finally make something. It was a 'knitting on the road project'. I took some of the leftover yarn with me and put four 3.5 needles and a hook in my carry-on. There are lots of images of owl gloves on the internet - I just picked the ones I liked and started knitting. I made two pairs. Four hours on the plane to Las Vegas - and a mitten was done. Another four hours by car to Grand Canyon - and another mitten was finished. I repeated the process on the way back to LV and then to Toronto. I customized their eyes and hair when I got home. This pair was for Zoey. She loved those new friends! Hello! Hello! Yarn - 100% wool. Stitch: Double Seed. Amelia asked me to 'upgrade' hers, and I did it by adding eyes and hair. For these mittens I used my favourite cable stitch. Yarn - 100% wool. Karisma. Drops Design - made in EU. Happy knitting!October ShawlThe shawl was knitted from the top down. I did two increases every other row on the right side: two at the outer edges and two down the spine of the shawl. On the wrong side no increases were worked. You get two symmetrical triangles. Yarn: to be updated Needles: 3.5 Hook: 3 The pattern was the basic Stocking Stitch. The edges of the shawl were finished with the single crochet stitch. Happy Knitting!
August. 'Garden Gown.'This cotton gown is a combination of the two popular crafts - knitting and crocheting. Both are fun and relaxing and let you create something new in the process and knit your own design. I started with the sleeves because I loved the lace pattern in one of the knitting magazines (Sabrina 2008) - the knit looked and felt light and breezy. Then I crocheted the top - single crochet stitch. As usual, I didn't make any measurements - the beauty of crocheting is that you can always add a couple of rows and make it fit. Last part was the skirt which I knitted from the waist down - my favourite cable stitch. I began knitting in June and did quite a lot of it at the Moon River campsite in Northern Ontario. The project was completed in July and made it to the photo session in our roof garden in August :-)
Happy end of summer knitting!
