Finished: Pink girlie leg warmers

I'm so pleased to have these finished...I've not enjoyed knitting on dpns, at least not 6.5mm ones. I frogged my initial attempt, then started again but didn't get very far. Not getting on with them and getting them out of the way was making me feel really bad! I finally picked them up again a few days ago and made myself work on them, which wasn't really *that* bad, and they were really quick to knit so soon finished them.



Now that they're done I'm really chuffed with them! They're really cute and go so well with the hat. I hope they're the right size as it was another case of me making the pattern up as I went along and hoping for the best!

I just need to wrap them up in pink girlie tissue paper and send them off...then hope to hear how well they fit... :o/

Progress! Finished hat for me (no. 3 on the priority list)

I love chunky knitting. It's taken me just over an hour to make and finish a chunky hat for me :o)



I've made it in Sirdar Bigga, using a pattern I've knit before. I've also made it in green...as I thought it would be a good contrast to my dark purple coat. I'm not used to wearing coloured hats - I'm a black hat kind of person, that's if I wear a hat at all. Where does my common sense/normal taste go when I knit myself something like this... I hope I'm going to wear it!

I love this wool…not so keen on the colour though. I’ve got so much of this wool in various colours for various projects (mainly chunky hats and scarves for relatives…but don’t tell them). I initially bought some of this to make a peg bag for myself, and it all worked out really well - especially considering that I made the pattern up as I went along! Last week my Mam mentioned needing a peg bag - so I got some more of this as it’s **really** cheap at Kemps.

Sirdar - Denim Chunky - Slate Blue - 503

Just bought 10 balls of this stuff in the hope that I could use it with a pattern for a different type of wool. Having knit a few tension squares this evening on different size needles, it’s not going to work out. I’d need to use too large a size needle for the wool. Curses.

I bought the wool via the internet without ever seeing it in ‘real life’. It wasn’t what I was expecting when I first saw it, although I’ve quickly come round to liking it. It feels gorgeous, especially when knit, so I need to find a pattern that it will work with as I’m itching to get going with it.
