200th Post Giveaway

Today is post no.200. And a time to think about how things have changed since I started. I've definitely become a lot more comfortable with writing my thoughts - although they are more random in my head. Maybe I should learn to type faster!

I'd like to thank everyone who has been reading my blog and leaving lots of comments. Its always nice to hear that people appreciate your work.

So, on to the giveaway. This month's new pattern is for the 'Blossom Buds'.

These cute little guys are only about 9cm tall and are super quick to make. The embroidery is the only thing that takes a while to do to finish them nicely.

Please a comment by Monday morning (Irish time!) and I'll chose a winner at random to win the newest pattern, and pick one other pattern from my shop to have also. Lucky person!

Just remember to make sure I can contact you if you win.

Good Luck

What delightful little Blossom Bits! I'd love to make some for our grandchild due in December. Your lovely embroidery bedecks 'em in fine style:) I've hoping that the early bird wins the prizes!!

These are downright gorgeous - saw them on Ravelry, and I have to admit - you really shouldn't let me win, cause if you don't I'll have to buy the pattern anyway :D

These are so cute! I only semi-fail at embroidery, so maybe I could handle it. ;)

Saw your pattern come up on Rav, had to click through!

These are fabulous! It would be fun to pop a small bell inside while stuffing, to make a rattle toy. Lovely work.

Ooo! Ooo! Pick me!

I love all toys - the cuter the better and this one is a keeper!! It incorporates my two passions - embroidery and knitting! Could it be more perfect?

May Giveaway Day

Image
*** This giveaway is now closed *** I read only last weekend about the May Giveaway Day on the SewMamaSew blog. Its such a cool idea so I decided to take part. Up for grabs are these two little cats. I made them as favours for Smem's birthday but made too many. Two winners will be chosen at random on June 1st and I am willing to ship internationally as they're only small and are very light. Comment away! (but please make sure that I can get your email from your blogger profile so that I can contact you if you win) Good Luck!

100th Post - Piggywig (free pattern)

Image
I was going to post about how I connected with my domestic goddess and baked muffins this morning but as it is my 100th post I thought I would share a pattern with my readers. This is Piggywig. I only started him this afternoon so he is a super quick knit if you needed a present in a hurry. He's about 12cm tall. You'll need straight 2.75mm needles, a darning needle, some polyester stuffing and oddments of yarn in pink, blue, green, cream and black. Gauge is not too important - I knit at about 9sts:10rows:1 inch - just make sure that your knitting is nice and tight so the stuffing doesn't show through. Body Using pink, cast on 30 sts. Mark the centre of the cast on sts. P 1 row. Next row: Inc K-wise into every st - 60 sts. Beginning with a P row, st-st 7 rows. Next row: (K2, K2tog) to end - 45 sts. P 1 row. Break off pink and join on blue. Beginning with a K row, st-st 10 rows. Mark the centre of the last blue row. Break off blue and join on green and cream. Work 10 rows
