For Knitting Baby Stuff

My Stash in Pictures

I've been on a self-enforced stashalong for nearly 2 months now. I've had one day off, last Friday, when I bought some gorge Debbie Bliss cotton angora for a cardi from my new Fitted Knits book. I've made a resolution only to buy yarn for projects I have in mind now so I don't have lots in the stash that I don't know what to do with. Anyway, to prove the boyf wrong - who believes I have far too much yarn and don't know what to do with it - I've taken pics of all my stash and will have along side the projects I aim to use it for - ha!

Baby Hat

This is my latest finished project - another hat meant for a one year old child but in fact nearly fits me! Its from the Debbie Bliss How to Knit book (which incidentally taught me to knit, about 18 months ago now) I've changed it slightly - I'm not brave enough to work in two colours yet. This is my first project using two circular needles and knitting in the round - I'm extremely proud. Got a bit cocky at the end and tried to knit an i-cord with dpn's (double pointed needles) but still can't work them out!

Poor neglected blog :-( (Half years resolution - must try harder!)

Yarn Diet :-(

I had to self-impose a yarn diet after my latest haul - I blame the others on the knitting forum for encouraging me and Lidl for having all the goodies!! These are the new additions to my stash, my cupboard is now full to bursting - all apart from the Rowan Summer Tweed (one day to become a clapotis) is from the Friday night dash to Lidl's. There were some good barg's and only on offer for a week! Emerging some time later with a much emptier purse I made myself promise not to buy more yarn till my birthday. Only a month and a bit to go - my want/need for some Debbie Bliss can only be contained for so long!
