Knitting addict

Say hello to Ellie...

Well this is my newest creation. I've recently gotten myself obsessed with knitting (am trying to learn how to crochet but am thinking that task might have to be for another day). My partner Chris is getting a bit worried about me turning into a granny before my time, but hey ho, I'm enjoying myself and I know he'll thank me later when I can't rustle up a pair of gloves and a hat for him when needed in the middle of winter!


I managed to get this beautiful pattern from a wonderful website/blog: 'Little Cotton Rabbits' (if you get the chance then I would really advise you to check it out). It was originally for an egg cosy but I decided to make it into a little cuddly toy by adding a body - this also bulked it out quite nicely and adds a bit more shape.

I've already gotten a few requests from friends as little toys or keepsakes for impending motherhood, so will be adding more characters soon.

I've got a few plans lined up for a variety of crafty projects so hopefully I will be able to update my blog more often. Keep your eyes peeled!

Tatty-bye (from one very happy knitter!) X
