Rory the Rhinestone Spider

Here it is Rory the Rhinestone Spider is finally completed after months of being abandoned by it's owner. The plan was to create Rory for Halloween 2011 attempting to give my boss a little fright. Tee Hee!! This was only due to the fact that I have found out he's kinda scared of them. 

8 legs...

 The legs was completed a few months ago whilst on a day trip to Edinburgh to visit one of my uni friends. Don't look too close now as I spot a lot of mistakes this is only my trained eye though. =)

Above is the one-eyed Rory the Rhinestone Spider. He's cute isn't he? We shouldn't be scared of these wee creatures as they can't harm us...

knitting for charity

I am proud to present Becky the ballerina dolly.

I got the yarn from Lets Get Crafting Magazine Issue 38. I used their exclusive Crystal dk yarn. Most of the pieces was in a st st. The only part that I found hard or never seem to get it right is the putting it all together part. Becky will go on a journey all by herself to Surrey where she will be sent to a  good home as this is for the Children's Cancer Recovery Project. It makes me feel sad that I have to part with Becky already but I am sure she'll be well looked after by the lucky child who receives her. I believe that it will make a difference to the childs world whether they are young or older and I hope that it will bring a smile to them when they meet Becky.

another make

Here is my latest make that I completed in mid jan.  A simple baby blanket in stocking stitch for the body and 2x2 rib around the border. I used 350g of Sirdar Escape dk. I really love the colours that has gone into this yarn makes it so different from all the usual baby blankets designs.  This certainly took some time to knit up but I had great pleasure with this.

 Now I have moved onto knitting a ballerina dolly which I think will go to a charity to send it to children.. =)
