A little something I made over Christmas for my wonderful neighbour Faiza.
She kindly invited me to join the lovely little knitting group she goes to every week and I'm really enjoying it.
Although I really enjoy my job as a miniature model maker (most of the time 🤭), it's been lovely to be part of a group and have some people to talk to, and to do something a little different for a change.
I must admit, I did have to start again about 3 times when I did the knitted bit in the basket, but they were 1mm needles and it's been a very long time since I've done any knitting, so I'm pretty chuffed with how it turned out.
At knitting club I've decided to jump right into the deep end and knit a frog 🙈🐸. I'm steadily getting to grips with all the terminology and techniques, but my goodness, the wool is quite fluffy and one heck of a challenge 😬. But, I'll get there.... eventually! 🤞
Knitting basket:
3D printed basket and knitting needles.
Acid etched stainless steel ruler.
Knitting from 1ply acrylic yarn.
Knitting book and sewing pattern.
Scissors and sheep cast in pewter. (currently using pewter recycled from old cups that belonged to my husband grandfather ♥️)
