Petite Purls

A while ago I submitted a design to the new online knitting magazine, Petite Purls, for their winter issue. And yesterday morning I got a lovely email to say that my design had been accepted! I'm so excited. Its the first time that I've submitted a knitting design to a magazine. Its just an online magazine, rather than printed, but its really causing a buzz in the online knitting world.

Check it out. Its just got patterns for kid-related stuff. The current issue has an absolutely darling ladybird coat/cardigan which I am itching to knit - if I manage to find the time!

Woo Hoo!

Congratulations! They include some really nice patterns -- I've been keeping an eye on them. And now I have a great niece to knit girl stuff for (along with two grandsons and two more grandsons early next year). Yay for baby things! Delighted about your pattern being accepted.

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...
