This Winter I have been surrounded by woolly inspiration, and when I mentioned my crazy idea of wanting to give it a go to my friend Corrie from Retro Mummy (you've all been over there a millions times right?….very creative mumma that one!), she gave me this gorgeous gift. A big ball of Bendigo Wool and some o so cute needles!
So here was my inspiration:
Mum made this gorgeous blanket for my nephew last month
My Aunty is madly knitting this fun little rug for, I'm guessing, her yet-to-be-conceived-granddaughter (she has 4 boys and is obviously craving some pink)
My Mother inlaw sent me this pic of the submarine in her home town. It has been dressed by the locals for Winter as 'The Yellow Submarine'.
….and so with a bucket load of inspiration, I began my first ever knitting project: A basic cowl scarf.
Unpicking has proved to be my strong point.
I was so chuffed with how I was travelling (despite the fact it took me two months!), but then I got to the button hole bit…..and from there it went totally pear shaped. Literally.
An emergency call to Corrie and a quick instruction on blocking, and I sort of sorted the above problem out.
Drum roll…..I present:
The Neck brace
(I may have got a bit impatient and omitted the last 4 inches?!)
Have you been working on a Winter project?
Much Love
