Lazy ripple scarf

This is my current WIP.

Camera lens attracts attention

I was looking at things that I could crochet to add to my camera on Ravelry, when I saw a cute teddy bear that simply slips on the lens. So I whipped up a quick one. It's written in US terminology.

Find the original pattern here. Ravelry for the designer.

See mine on Ravelry.

Blanket WIP

I am currently making a C2C (corner to corner) granny afghan. The colours don't quite feel right, so I may add in a bit of orange now and then, just to spice it up. I'm hoping to make it big enough to fit on our bed, which is kingsize.

I made a colour pallet from the blanket. Dark purple, bright yellow, black and pale purple.

Finished objects

As I haven't updated here in a while, I thought it would be a good idea to show off some of my finished objects. For the full range and more photos, see my facebook page.

Blankets
I have completed 2 large granny squares, and a summer wrap, all can be seen (just!) in the photo below, covering my legs.

Facebook and other updates

I seem to be mainly posting updates to my facebook page, as I'm mainly on mobile, it's just easier and quicker.
You can also find what I like on Ravelry, projects I want to make, after I finish my current WIPs. I'm going to add some more photos to their own posts, stay tuned!

Fingerless gloves, free pattern

This is pattern done on 2 needles, no DPN!

First glove. I wear it on my right hand.

1 pair size 4mm knitting needles
1 ball 100g wool
1 tapestry needle

This is the yarn I used, although it is the orange-y version http://www.sirdar.co.uk/yarns/fashion/Summer%20Stripes%20Dk Sombrero 315

Cast on 28 stitches. This was just right for my hand, I don’t consider myself to have large or small hands, around average. When adapting the size, make sure to keep to an even number of stitches. As a guide, 24 for woman, 28-32 for a man.

How I started my blanket

In other words, mini tutorial.

Based on the wool, I selected the needles. I used the size suggested on the wool. As I am not aiming for a specific size I didn't knit a swatch.

I cast on lots of stictches until one needle was quite full. This turned out to be 126 if I have counted it correctly. The first 18 rows were all knit. The next ones are knit 5, purl across, knit the last five. Turn it around, the next row: knit all across. I'm carrying on this way until I reach about a square in size, then I will knit each row for a bit, then knit in another patter, keeping a few stiches at the end of each row always knitted so that it doesn't curl.

When I have used almost all of the ball I will cast off, and see how big it is. Or if it I decide it is long enough. Then on to the next ball of wool, casting on 126ish, making another long length. Once this is the same length I will sew the 2 together. If I want it to be wider I will knit a 3rd from the last ball of wool.

This is going to be a long project, so I have other smaller ones on the go at the same time.
I aim to knit at least 4 rows a day, it will keep the progress consistant I'm hoping.

WIPs

One scarf and one blanket currently being knitted. Can you guess which is which?
