Giant Knit Throw - Design for Girls

This is a beautiful hand knitted throw designed for a little girl's room. It is a very soft shade of lilac colour that compliments most of the colours. It took me a while to get the measurements of this throw right but I finally got it. It is generous in size; 90 cm in width and 150 cm in length. This yarn is super chunky and it is made of 70% acrylic and 30% wool, so it is very soft under the skin. Throw like this uses 2kg of wool, so whilst it makes a statement in the room it is very cozy to snuggle up with too.

My little Garcelle is very much enjoying it! Just the other night she snuggled up with her visiting school friend Happy Hippo under the throw and they shared the Dr Seuss story!

Hot Water Bottle Sweater for little girl's room (100% acrylic)

Here comes a gorgeous 'hot water bottle cozy' for a little girl's room! It is knitted by me in Entrelac Knitting, one of my favorite knitting patterns. It is rich in texture but very soft to snuggle with. It is made with 100% acrylic yarn. This 'hot water bottle cozy' is knitted in one piece and it is lined with acrylic felt for extra strength and durability.

For decorative purposes, the buttons on this cozy are hand covered in matching colour linen.

Country Style - Hot Water Bottle Cozy

Etrelac Knitting is one of my favorite patterns because it is just so rich in texture and it is perfect for putting contrasting colours together. We are so lucky here in Australia to have such a wonderful range of wool as well as colour combinations. This one is PATON wool ( 50% wool, 30 acrylic, 20% alpaca). 

This one is in chocolate and cream colour only, but there will be several more color combinations available through my Etsy store.

This Hot Water Bottle Cozy is knitted in one piece and it requires advanced techniques in knitting, working subtraction and adding around the neck of the bottle cozy to maintain that seamless knitting pattern. The main body of cozy is lined up with calico to add extra strength and durability.

'Snuggle Up With Me' Rug

My 'snuggle up with me' rug is now finished and I love it! Colour tones are all very earthy and calming for the eye. It measures 115cm by 85cm so it is big and snuggly. With winter approaching here in Perth, I am really looking forward to those lazy / rainy afternoons when the best thing seems to be making a hot cup of tea, picking up your favorite book and snuggling under a warm and cozy blanket.

I love the tassels in the corners, I think they add that aristocratic feel to it, what do you think?
The wool used in this rug is Patons Inca (50% wool, 30% acrylic, 20% alpaca).

Skills required for making this rug are:
1.) garter stitch
2.) mattress stitch seam
3.) crocheted edging on the whole rug, once completed
4.) making tassels

Hot Water Bottle Cozy - Entrelac Knitting

(apologies, the first paragraph of this post accidently got wiped out)


Hot water bottles are very commonly used throughout Europe to keep children warm in the cold months of winter or when the tummy is aching. This is the way I remember my Mum using it to stop my tummy ache. It is a very old concept and if you do a little research, you will find that a variety of different types of heating bottles were used as early as in the 16th century. These early hot water bottles were made of a variety of materials, such as zinc, copper, glass, earthenware or wood. To prevent burning, the metal hot water flasks were wrapped in a soft cloth bag.

Today, the modern conventional rubber hot bottles are made out of durable rubber, that can withstand sufficient heat and they are commonly covered in fabric with novelty design. So, here was the opportunity to for me to learn a new pattern and design a hot water bottle cozy. There is so many ways you can go with the cozy design, combining different colours or interesting patterns. Try it, it is heaps of fun to make.

Lounge room floor rug

This rug took a long time to make, but it is ready now and it is coming with me to The Glades Moonlight Markets tomorrow, 4pm - 9pm, my very first market stall. VERY EXCITED !!!

This rug is made out of 100 % Indian Cotton and it measures 120cm x 90cm. It is made using a very simple crocheting techniques, so yes it is made with one crochet hook. It is very thick and soft, wonderful to walk or sit on. It consumed 22 meters of fabric, so it is very heavy and very durable. This is the very first rug I made for selling purposes and I am hoping to produce them in a variety of colours. More information  coming up soon.

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!

Tea Pot and Cup Cozy

I guess any passionate knitter would be delighted to browse through ' Really Wild Tea Cozies' by Loani Prior, the queen of the tea pot cozies.  I came across this book in a shop about 6 months ago and could not put it back on the shelf- unless it was on my own shelf! Finally, I found some time to play with different designs and patterns and decided to knit a tea pot cozy with a matching cup cozy. This is my latest creation and I absolutely love it!

Making this tea pot cozy was quite an experience. It felt like I was preparing a daughter for the Prom. This tea pot cozy has a lining underneath as well as padding at the top to shape it like a box. I am obsessed with the bobbles at the moment, so of course part of the design needed to show this.

If you have browsed through my blog, you would know that I really like the cup cozies too, so for this cube-looking tea pot cozy, I needed to make a matching cup cozy. The pattern on this cup cozy is called the 'diagonal garter stitch' and it is a wonderful pattern if you like to use a variety of colours because it accentuates the colours in the most beautiful way.
