I hope you'll forgive the fact that pictures aren't really all that great, but the weather has been really crummy outside, so we took the pics inside. Ampharos is another of the lesser known pokemon I'm really quite fond of. The pattern is a bit complicated in that there are quite a few parts to him, and lots of color changes. Other than that though, he's not very difficult to make. I used a yellow color called cornmeal, it was the closest color I could find to the color of Ampharos in the show and on its cards, but you can use any color that's close. As always, if you find a problem in the pattern, or if you just need help leave a message and I'll get back at ya as soon as I can. :) Ampharos MATERIAL: WW yarn in Yellow, black, white and red G Hook Fiberfill Small amount of black and white felt (for the eyes) Yarn Needle NOTES: Although I generally join all my rounds, working this doll in the continuous round method will be just as effective.

What a pair of lazy fat cats! Ginger, the orange striped cat, is having a little lie down, (they could make a sweet doorstop) and Smudge the grey cat is waiting for a head scratch (they could also be used as a bookend). Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the cats are knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). Smudge uses kitchener stitch, an invisible grafting technique, to finish the top of their head. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, knitting stripes, and seaming to finish.
May I wish you all a very happy time over the holidays with a knitted toy I would love to own! Just look at her dress with the dear little robins and the striped stockings!! She was made by Julie of http://littlecottonrabbits.typepad.co.uk/shop/ and I would love to own her - who wouldn't? Julie's rabbits and other knitted animals are so popular that the name of a purchaser has to be selected by a random selector. Oh I do hope I have the chance to buy one soon!
I think it’s safe to say that Fall is one of the prime times to be a knitter. When the air starts to get just the faintest chill, and the temperature drops just enough that you need to put on another layer, well, that’s when you get those knitting needles out and knit yourself up a little something something. 😉 A knit shawl (which, coincidentally, rhymes with Fall), is one of the perfect pieces to wear at this time of year. And okay, even thoughtechnically we are still a month away from the o
Ben op dit moment met veel dingetjes bezig, ook op haakgebied, maakte bijvoorbeeld dit pennenpotje, geïnspireerd door Marieke En dit sleutelhangertje.... Ik kreeg ook hele leuke post! Een bedankkaartje van Miss Creatuurtje, heel lief! Zoonlief had net de inhoud van zijn spaarpot geteld, ik vond hem zo mooi bij de kaart passen... En er ligt nog een envelop, maar die mag ik pas morgen openmaken!! (dan ben ik namelijk jarig). En dan nu nog de grootste verrassing vandaag! Omdat morgen jarig zijn helemaal niet handig is, kreeg ik alvast de cadeaus van mijn lieverds. Een Pip schaaltje van de jongste, een Room Seven koffiebeker van dochterlief, een heel mooi samengesteld pakketje van mijn oudste zoon, bestaande uit chocola, een wijnglas en een flesje rosé! Dit cadeau vind ik echt heel bijzonder, het is met zoveel toewijding en zorg gemaakt, voor een jongen die natuurlijk zijn moeder niet (meer) knuffelt, hij is namelijk 13 jaar, maar dit zegt voor mij genoeg.... Dit doet een moederhart goed! De foto van de mok en het schaaltje is mislukt, dus die komt nog. En last but not least, complete verrassing: een nieuwe telelens voor mijn fotocamera van manlief! En gisteren ook nog heerlijk gegourmet met mijn familie. Dus ondanks dat ik eigenlijk mijn verjaardag niet echt vier, toch heel gezellig gehad! Fijne week allemaal!
