Thanks Kwilter, I've sent her the link.
I would absolutely love a Dr Who jumper I have seen on there, but that's asking far too much. I am trying to find someone who would be happy to knit a pair of tardis socks
.
I have seen a dalek beanie which I may try to knit but it's mixing colours in the same row and I have never ever done that
Yay! A friend of mine sent me the same linky thing today...
Question: I am going to make this for my nieces for Chrimbo, one in a light grey and one in a charcoaly grey. One niece has sensitive skin and won't wear anything 'scratchy'. Can anyone recommend a nice, soft worsted weight/bulky yarn that will look good but won't cost the earth? I usually get King Cole wools from my local cheapo wool shop...their Aran wool-blends are lovely, but too itchy to wear next to the skin.
ooh I like that one, just added it to my faves!
You could always use the bamboo doubled for the cowl, merino is deliciously soft though. Debbie Bliss does some baby camel blend which I knitted on quite big needles, can't remember the name now though.
If they're the kind of nieces who look after stuff, Manos del Uruguay have some beautiful yarn.. I got some silk blend a year or so back for a scarf for me, but it can work out a bit pricy.
that's lovely, not done any felting myself yet (at least not deliberately!)
BTW who are you on Rav? (I'm suesj)
I like the pouch too...might be a good "make" for my hand made christmas hampers this year. Felting';s good fun, I just put the unfinished item in the washing machine with an old towel for extra friction. I blocked a bigger bag with my souffle dish so it would dry the right shape.
I'm mumknits247 on Rav, mainly loitering on the tour de fleece threads just now. Please click Love on any of my pics that you see, they're on the main daily threads, and Team UK.
I am Sue, though don't go on very often, BBs is my name,I'm friends with Kwilter and am dressed in a rather fetching stripy ensemble.
lol to not felting deliberately, I'm the same, although J's gorgeous red cashmere sweater was never the same after the inadvertent hot wash
I've decided to cast on this afternoon I might go a bit bigger so it could carry a small project, rather than just bits.
