Giant cable lounge room throw

This hand kitted loungeroom throw is done in giant cables using 20mm knitting needles. It is very heavy, as all of my giant knit throws; this one weighs 3.6 kg. When spread out, the pattern really stands out and as such it makes it into a gorgeous addition to any loungeroom or bedroom. I choose to make my throws using 100% acrylic which is very easy to maintain. The throws can be easily washed without having to worry whether the throw will lose its shape or shrink in size.

"Cousteau" Tea Pot Cozy

It looks like a diving helmet... we thought... hence 'Cousteau' after Jacques Cousteau, a famous Oceanographer!


Dark grey and sage continues to be the colour combination that dominates my mind. I can never get tired of it... it is calming and yet thought provoking....

This was just a quick project that came out of need. I bought this gorgeous tea pot a while ago that is a little bit skewed and as it was unlikely that I was going to find a tea pot cozy to match it... decided on one of my favorite, free lance knitting... measure-knit, measure-knit... and it worked!


It is a tight fit and it has crocheted edges to give it more definition and add interest.


As you know, all my creations have to have in their content at least one feature that is giant, so this time around- a giant pom pom, so woolly and soft under your hand.


Knitted using a set of round needles and a crochet hook.



BON APPETIT!!!

Warm and soft floor pad for the little bums and feet

Anyone with little children knows how much they enjoy spending time on the floor. Regardless of how many times we tell them to get off that cold floor, and whilst they might happily agree with you and move away, it is only a matter of seconds before they are there again rolling on the floor, and the story repeats itself over and over again. With this in mind, the 'Sunchi B' floor range delivers this simple hand knitted 'floor pad',  made out of felt, warm and comfy just the way little bums and little feet like it. It is very light, easy to carry around and it measures 41cm x 32cm! I hope you like it.




If you like IKEA, and you happen to have this stylish reclining chair ,
you may want to use this pad on this reclining chair too!
