pencil scarf



My take on the pencil scarf.


To achieve those neat lines, slip stitch in front loop only, then half dc in back loop, this can prove to be slightly tricky, it may help to go down a hook size.

 I made several of these scarves in childs school colours.

Knitting Cowls for Teachers

I'm busy knitting approximately 5 cowls- own pattern? yes own, but one that's possibly already out there.  I wanted something that would work up super quick.  So the largest needles came out, with 20 stitches and each row with drop stitches; of course to finish them up as quickly as possible.  And then a quick sewing up at the end. 

They are all gifts for the teachers/teacher assistants for my son's nursery.   I have two more to go! Yes!  I love them and I have one for myself; it's fairly light but when doubled quite warm enough (to not feel overheated) and comfortable.

Thumper Hat


Stormtrooper





I'm likely never to write up a pattern for this one and I'm sure there are some great ones that are out there.   2nd trooper I crocheted.  I can't say he's my particular favourite to make - so much time!

I love my melancholy bunny. <3
