Knitting for my Niece/Nephew in Swissland

When I found out in July that I would be getting my first Niece or Nephew (they don't want to know the sex until it is born) I got my knitting needles out straight away! I wanted to knit a pair of English and a pair of Swiss booties, but I didn't have enough time before my brother and his wife left for Switzerland, so I knitted the most important ones, the English booties!! :)

After searching the internet for a booties pattern with a cross on without any success, I decided I would knit a pair of white booties with a red St George's cross knitted over the finished booties. It didn't turn out too bad! :)

My first niece/nephew

There are so many cute things that I can knit for a baby!! I will add more niece/nephew knits as my brother receives them as I don't want him to see them on the internet before he receives them! :)

Here is my new niece Lydia in her booties that I knitted for her! - How cute does she look? :)

Knitting for camping trip...

For my August Bank Holiday camping trip this year, my mate John suggested we have a 'hat night'. I thought it was a great idea to bring a little fun to the trip, so decided to get my knitting needles out for some fun hat knitting. I made my way to hobbycraft with my vouchers that I got for my birthday the previous year and brought some bright coloured wool and also some grey wool as I wanted to knit myself a headband to hide the fluffy hair from where I wasn't taking my hair dryer or hair straighteners!


I ended up knitting a couple of hats, in the same bright colours, Ross wore one of them as he forgot to bring a hat. He even slept in it that night! :) 


Here is Ross in my first hat. 

Here I am in my second hat.

Here I am in my headband.
