Bronze Pig!!!

This is the bronze pig which is displayed beside the Alley Theatre in Strabane, Co. Tyrone. I took the picture when it is nice and shiny, I expect it will go "green" shortly.

My Latest Creation

I made this last night at my craft class.
I can't wait to get to a good craft shop now
and get my own supply of beads, wire, etc.

HATS FOR CHARITY

I have knit these hats for a chartiy which looks after very small babies in Africa. A friend of a friend of a friend is collecting as many as possible before she leaves for Africa at the end of April. Plenty of time to get a few more done!!! The pattern is from"somewhere on the web" cant remember, but it is simple and is knit from side to side with no decreasing, perfect for watching TV!! I had knit one in white before I discovered that Africans have a superstition about white, so it is pastels from here on.

Little Boy Blue

I am finished at last with the blue cardigan and hat for my friend's new baby boy. I have started another garment and hopefully I will finish soon. I have signed up to knitting hats for small babies, and have to get a few done by the end of April, I will post pictures when I have finished these too!!! (I will be busy)

I tried to load photos earlier, hope they work this time. I am knitting a blue v-neck jacket for a new baby boy, born on Friday 21st, to a friend of mine. I had knit a pink jacket (below) but was proved wrong!! I have also knit a white jacket and a lemon one, but I like to give something blue to a boy as well!!

At craft classes last night we learned how to make jewellery, I must admit that I thought it was as simple as threading beads on a string!!! We made proper stuff using crimpers and pliers and cutters!!! The pictures are of the same necklace & earrings, but one show the colours better. The classes are over, but with only 4 classes, I have learned 2 new crafts, cross stitch and jewellery.

I have finally added the finishing touches to the blue hooded jacket. I also finished the striped jumper last night. There were lots of threads to pull in!!! Both of these garments are for a local yarn store, so I thought it best to log them before passing them on. Both are double knitting.
