Knitted Bunting

With the baby blanket for Jonah finished I was looking for another fun project to keep me busy and reinforce my new knitting skills. This easy knitted bunting was perfect.

This pattern required only a few basic stitches, if you know the ones below then you'll have no trouble, and even if you don't know them they are easy to learn.

K - Knit
Ktog, yo - Knit two together, yarn over
Ssk - Slip, slip, knit
Psso - Pass slipped stitch over

I love my bright blue 5mm Pony needles

Stay tuned for a picture of the bunting hanging in Jonah's nursery.

Terra Australis

We've had a very special young lady from Texas visiting us for the last month or so. Sadly she returns home at the beginning of April. So I thought i'd send her some with a little bit of hand stitched Australiana.

Today I roughly sketched out the design I've had floating around my head the last few days.  I've got no training in graphic design so I may have committed some cardinal design sins but regardless of that i'm very happy with how it's turning out so far.
