I have become such a lazy blogger - even when I have multiple finished objects, and pictures of them, I don’t seem to be able to get organized to blog about them! So here they are all together, the product of my needles over the last few months.
(sorry about the slightly rubbish quality of the photos - uploads from my blackberry are playing up at the moment)
I’ve knitted this pattern three times now, and will definitely do it again. There’s just something about it that makes it the perfect balance between not-boring and not-time-consuming. I prefer them without the purl stitches though (well, makes it even quicker).
Pattern: Monkey by Cookie A
Yarn: Madelinetosh Tosh Sock in Corsage (I am IN LOVE with this yarn and replaced this skein 8 rows before casting off)
Mods: No purl sts, toe-up
Because I couldn’t bear to stop knitting with the Tosh Sock!
Pattern: Tiny Shoes by Ysolda
Yarn: leftovers from above
Mods: I altered the strap slightly, but otherwise as written
My first time knitting this pattern, and first Koigu colourwork - in LOVE (um, does that make me a bigamist?…) The fabric created is just yummy :-)
Pattern: Endpaper Mitts by Eunny Jang
Yarn: Koigu PPPM, nearly a skein of MC a bit under half of CC
Mods: I changed the thumb to a normal gusset, and added an outline MC stitch each side to make clearer stripes.
This was a little present to cheer up a pal who had a rough task to endure!
Pattern: Mini-Stern Kissen by Annette Maass
Yarn: Koigu PPPM scraps
Mods: I picked up sts for the second star rather than knitting two and sewing, added buttons.

Great to see some FO’s, I don’t think it matters how often you blog, everyone should enjoy guilt free blogging, they were never set up to be ‘work’, it’s meant to be fun. I just don’t want Ravelry to kill the blog off…..not turning this into a rant but I keep reading people saying they are not going to blog any more because now they’ve got ravelry…all I’m trying to say is I like to come visit here when you blog, and see what yo’ve been doing!

They’re all lovely, especially the socks and the tiny shoes - and that pink is absolutely beautiful :)
