Had a missed call from Antarctica. Day. Made. 🤩 #knittersofinstagram #missedcall #antarctica #missedopportunity
Home after a conference in London. Managed to get all this knitting done on the train! It’s another hat, but it’s not little so I feel like that’s OK! . Massive thanks to Annette at @30eustonsquare for finding a room for me to express in whilst at the conference! You made it that bit easier for me to be a breastfeeding working mum! 😊 . #knittersofinstagram #knitting #breastfeeding #expressingmilk #expressingatwork #knittedhat #knittingforbabies #wit #womeninit
Five slugs and a snail and that’s just one plant pot!! We’ve got a toad in the garden too! Best get the garlic spray out pronto! 😆 #gardernersofinstagram #gardening #slugsofinstagram #slugsandsnails
Another picture, this time with the pompom garlands which I managed to add yesterday before the arts trail was finished! 😅 . There’s a new post up on the blog (link in the profile) with more information about my processes if you want to find out more. . I also added a sign to the yarn bombing which I hadn’t shown you before, that explained what the yarn bombing was about, with a QR code linking to the blog post. . I’m really excited it’s finished and I’m raring to go for my next knitting project! 😊 . #knittersofinstagram #yarnbombing #innocentbigknit #innocentbigknit2019 #knittingforcharity #knitting #littlehats #knittinghats #pompom
And we’re done! The yarn bombing is live! It’s not entirely finished, but the main part is up! . For this years yarn bombing I decided to knit lots of little hats for the @innocent Big Knit campaign. I used 84 hats and pom-poms to create an ombré effect using @scheepjes Colour Crafter yarn. . To mix things up I used different stitches from my stitch hand book for the hat designs and for the colour changes used simple colour and stitch combinations to hopefully make it look like the colours were fading from one to another! . Overall I’m really pleased with how it’s gone and I love the colours I’ve chosen! #knittersofinstagram #yarnbombing #knittingforcharity #ombre #scheepjescolourcrafter #knittedhats #innocentbigknit #innocentbigknit2019
PHEW! We’re almost finished for the yarn bombing tomorrow. I have some pompom strings to make, but they may have to make an appearance as the day progresses..... Will post photos as soon as it’s up! 😊 #knittersofinstagram #yarnbombing #innocentbigknit #scheepjescolourcrafter #ombre #littlehats
