La Serenisima

A Hug and a Squeeze

My own pattern, based on (yet again) the squishy scarf. Using a figure of 8 cast on, knit in the round, with a plait threaded through the ribs at the top to close. Purple chunky alpaca. Very warm and snuggly :D

It can be difficult sewing for guys, especially things that aren't clothes. Hopefully this is practical enough, and geometric enough, that it will go down well :)

NouNou

Beautiful fabric, quilted by outlining the pattern. Very satisfying to do, especially as I'd been wanting to try this for a long time! And because my first attempts at free motion anything were... less than brilliant.... (break your foot!)

Xmas

Gluten free (almond) ginger bread men - ninjabread men! Sadly I have no idea which recipe I used.

Obsession

There is also a purple malabrigo version, and a black one to be started... (This version is turquoise IRL, unlike the photo)
Mr. Habit has a lot to answer for!

New Hat

Autumn looks like it's finally here, and with it my annual obsession with purple and burgundy, or more specifically, Mmmalabrigo in Velvet Grapes. This is Felicity, although as my gauge was off I didn't follow the pattern exactly. There is another (in an equally predictable turquoise and black) to follow. A fun and easy pattern - hoping to use it to teach my flat-mate to knit as she's been eyeing this up since I finished it :D

I so should have been a model.
