Friday

Toddler gift

We've had some wild (rainy) weather here in the capital over the past few days – what better time to settle down with a bit of knitting? (We are extremely lucky to be mostly unaffected, unlike some of my workmates and friends who don't live on the top of hills.)

Here are some more small knits: a gift for a sweet toddler: some little animals knitted from yarn oddments (read more about these here) and a child's Barley hat (free pattern here) made from more of Nikki's yarn.

I'm also making some winter hats for men in my life – the first being one from this pattern. It's quite fun to knit so far. 

The plants (early-winter freesias and gum leaves) were bought for the kitchen table from my favourite local shop, Next Stop Earth this morning. The best way to end the week.

Wishing you a happy weekend!

    Melissa, what I love about your blog, which I’ve been following for many years, is that whenever I read your posts and see your photos I get this feeling of… sereneness. You must have a kind of serene personality, I guess 🙂

    These are two of my favorite hats to knit!!! (and of course, the colors couldn’t be better…..grey family all the way!) I’m having window sill envy….we have an old house that I would deem perfect in every way if only it had deep sills!!!

    Oh, those wee animals are so sweet! I am tempted to make some now.
    I knit a Barley hat in dark blue for my little guy and he wore it all winter.

    Hi M. I just clicked on link for small animals and no joy. Doesn’t exist anymore. Do you have a copy of the pattern to share please? I’m knitting my first baby knits for our God daughter and these are gorgeous!
