Just a few things made recently


This is just a small selection of the items I have made over the last couple of months. Jackets, scarves, neck warmers and hand warmers for the Charity Knitting group I beong to. I also got request from a Wild Life carer to make some Pouches for possums and Joeys. She was in desperate need of as many as she could get as Spring is approaching fast and that is when they use them most. I made39 Possum pouch liners and 5 Joey pouches, also knitted a couple of pouches for her, I also had a couple of ladies offer their help with knitting some. Their help was greatly appreciated as that added another 10 knitted to the tally, and I hope the babies are cozy in them.

This is a beanie with a peak, hopefully like the baseball caps that are so popular with the young ones these days. I forwarded it to our organiser and await her opinion on whether it is any good for the homeless street kids. Very easy to knit and does not take a lot of yarn, I used recycled 8 ply wool for this one so it should be nice and warm.

Just a bit of Knitting

This teddy stands about 30cm high and was knitted
for my first great grand daughter Taryn for her first birthday.
The pattern is from the ABC Book of Toys, some of the
patterns included in this book are, Postman Pat,
Bananas in Pyjamas, Inspector Gadget and Mr Sqiggle.
A very good book in my opinion.







Toy cats knitted for the Charity of the month Nov '06.




The members of the Knit for Charity group that I belong to have a charity named each month and those that want to participate knit as much as they like or have time for, for that particular charity. Each of us also knit for our own favorite charity, what ever that may be.


This is the Baby Surprise Jacket designed by the famous Elizabeth Zimmerman. It is knitted from the top down,
the strangest garment I have ever seen
until it is folded and sewn.


I have only recently started to knit this pattern and I hope with a bit of practice with this style of knitting the next ones will be a bit more even in the stitches.
Unless otherwise named all the knitting on here has been or will be donated to charity.
