New Caprica Bag

Inspired by Battlestar Galactica. When the colonial fleet landed on New Caprica and tried to make a new world for themselves, a provisons bag would be essential kit. The Battlestar Galactica group on Ravelry have the ingenious idea of suggesting missions and this was made in response to the 'Lay down your burdens' mission

The finished article has a double drawstring and long handles. It had its first outing to the shops and proved to be very useful.

Finn's pressies

I finally finished Finn's things. The Ravelolympics jacket, strippy jumper and booties

Ravelympics Update - Day 4

Up early and even managed to watch a little of the Men's 100m Synchronised Diving, while kitting of course. I started the Right Front, but only the garter stitch band at the bottom (5 rows)... more to follow

Ravelympics Update - Day 3

Wow, I'm storming ahead, with first sleeve complete, the second cast on and completed!!

So far... Back complete, 2 sleeves complete
to do.... Right front, left front and make up

So if I make this in time (& I'm not going to slow down and coast) then I have thoughts for the bonus item - Stacking cats by Mochi.... something for me for a change, well when I say me, what I really mean is starting off as mine, but will probably get hijacked by the kiddiewinks.

Ravelympics Update - Day 2

Day 2 of the Ravelympics Challenge and althoiugh is Saturday and usually a rubbish day for knitting, I did manage to complete the back and cast one the first sleeve.

Motoring along and if I keep this up then I'll be able to knit the bonus item(s)

Ravelympics... the cast on

I've decided that I really need to start and complete a project for Baby Sweeney, so rather than setting the Olympic challenge to complete the blanket, I want to start and finish a little jacket

Paton's have a cute little jacket called Glee, which has a simple cable design and false pockets.

Technically I should be casting on during the Opening Ceremony, but as it 1pm British time, was at work so I cast on the back and knitted the first 13cm once the children were in bed.

A good start and on track to finish on time or maybe even earlier

Pirate Cushion - half way!!

Wow... this is my first attempt at complex colour work from a template and I'm really pleased with it! I can't possibly show you the back, it needs some serious threading in, but hey its gonna be a cushion, so as long as the stitches are held firm, what does it really matter?

The back is in progress too, its gonna be a red border like the front, with blue and white stripes. On schedule for Glenn's Birthday... hope he will like it x
