Soakers All Finished.

At last I have finished Candice's trial soakers




I knitted them in different colours as each stage was posted, at the beginning. I had no idea what I was knitting and so I need to understand what I was knitting. So I thought the best way, was to use different colours.

As there are no babies in my house and I couldn't get a cat to sit still long enough........ I have used the next best thing....... my teddy.

Now if your going to laugh...be kind, as Teddy will be 45 years old this year and he's a bit sensitive.

Look mum I have enough room to bend over.



Do these soakers make my bum look fat


I really enjoyed learning how to knit baby soakers. Never heard of these until I became tangled up with the Woolaholic crew

I have no advice to offer to you Candice as I have no other soakers to compare them too. Love them and when babies are due in the family..... They'll be given a pair of these as a gift.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to learn how to knit them.

Think I have a date with a teapot cosy

Until next time....

Calling Agents Mulder & Scully.

For the next 7 days there will be "UFO"s floating around the house.

After finishing the back of Pat's jumper, I said the UFO's will be finished off or darn close to it. Then I can start some new project as well as knit Pat's jumper.

I want to knit up a green and cream blanket for us to use. The last blanket was crochet from left over balls of wool after years of knitting jumpers.

So lets take a look at those UFO's I am hoping to have finished by this time next Sunday.





On the left is Candice's soakers I have been test knitting for her. After being so sick for that fortnight......I have lost my way in finishing them off. So I have this at the top of my list.

The pink and blue toning of rectangle items are 6 adult coathangers for my 2 nieces in Sydney. Pink tones for Emily and blue for Heather. All that is needed is for me to buy the hangers on Tuesday and stitch them up.

Fuchsia gloves are for me. The other day we went walking early and my hands were cold. Boy I sure wished they were finished off and in use that morning.

Hot rainbow socks also need to be finished off.

Not in the photo is the Woolaholic's cable swap. Not sure if my swapper reads my blog.....so until she receives the swap....no photo.

So there you have it........ enough UFO's in the house in encourage agents Mulder & Scully to drop by and snoop round.

Until next time....hoo roo

Soaker So Far

I am starting to see a set of soaker's from what I have been knitting up. I did the ribbed waist band in a musk colour and then I used all 3 colours to make a tie for it.

Until next time.... hoo roo

Soakers

I'm helping Candice trial her soaker pattern along with some other knitters.

Interesting part is I had never seen or heard of soaker's until I joined woolaholics. So I am really knitting blind in a way.

No glossy photo of the said finished item, to compare my knitting too. But I must say I am enjoying the challenge.





So I thought I'd better post a photo of what I have knitted so far, just in case I'm not reading the instructions correctly.

So this photo is for Candice and anyone who is helping with the soaker knit along....

I am doing each section in a different colour, so I can understand how the pattern works and know what I am doing. Also if I do it wrong, I know what part to frog

Let me know if I am going about it wrong......

Until next time....hoo roo
