The Bookworm's Stitchery: Mary for May
http://bookworms-stitchery.blogspot.com/2008/05/mary-for-may.html
Thursday, 1 May 2008. This week I took a quick detour from the large projects to make this little Mary figure. As Catholics we celebrate May as a month dedicated to Our Lady, and I wanted something to put into a May Basket for Little Cherub. I found a free nativity scene pattern online at Australian Women's Weekly. It can be downloaded as a PDF file here. You are so good - I always WANT to start a little knitted nativity but never think of it till about 2 weeks before Christmas! 2 May 2008 at 05:56.

The Bookworm's Stitchery: December 2008
http://bookworms-stitchery.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Friday, 19 December 2008. I love this petal dishcloth made by Linh at A Girl in Georgia. Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. Is making one and has posted the pattern (which I couldn't find through the original links). I'm planning to knit a couple once I find some reasonably priced coloured cotton. Dishcloth cotton in the UK only seems to be available in white or natural. Tuesday, 2 December 2008. I have discovered I am the opposite of a fair-weather knitter - I stop knitting in the summer and start a...

The Bookworm's Stitchery: January 2008
http://bookworms-stitchery.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Monday, 21 January 2008. I thought about redoing the quiz, but decided that in the interests of honesty I wouldn't. What kind of yarn are you? You are Acrylic.While you are very versatile, your plasticky countenance can be offputting. You are very good with children but can become a pill if left alone with them too long. You are very flexible but don't give in to manipulation. Sunday, 20 January 2008. Casting On - Thumb Method. Wednesday, 16 January 2008. I love this pixie-hooded cardigan. I have a whole...

The Bookworm's Stitchery: February 2008
http://bookworms-stitchery.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, 17 February 2008. This was very quick to knit, though the Sirdar Snuggly Bubbly was a bit . well . bubbly! The lumpy-bumpy texture made it a little fiddly. The end result was good, though. A little large still for my Little Cherub, so it should last her a while. Wednesday, 13 February 2008. Book Review: Simple Knits for Little Cherubs. With a Little Cherub of my own to knit for, how could I resist Simple Knits for Little Cherubs. There are plenty of other patterns I would happily knit - a little ...

The Bookworm's Stitchery: Toddler Socks
http://bookworms-stitchery.blogspot.com/2008/12/toddler-socks.html
Tuesday, 2 December 2008. I have discovered I am the opposite of a fair-weather knitter - I stop knitting in the summer and start again when it turns cold and wintry. I picked up my abandoned sweater and worked a few rows, and then had an urge to knit socks. I started with these mini basketweave toddler socks. They fit her little UK size 5 (US size 6? I am now working on a pair for myself, using this self-patterning 75% wool Regia sock yarn. Oh, they and adorable! 2 December 2008 at 09:05.

The Bookworm's Stitchery: Matching Pairs
http://bookworms-stitchery.blogspot.com/2008/12/matching-pairs.html
Friday, 19 December 2008. I finished the pair of socks for myself. They are very plain - stocking stitch, using a free Regia pattern available with the yarn. I'm pleased with them and they are very cosy. The only slight downside is that I cast on a bit too tightly on the first sock, making it a little hard to pull on. Must remember to make a point of casting on more loosely next time. 19 December 2008 at 13:41. 20 December 2008 at 02:06. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome to my stitching blog, w...

The Bookworm's Stitchery: Distractions
http://bookworms-stitchery.blogspot.com/2008/03/distractions.html
Wednesday, 19 March 2008. I got distracted by a couple of smaller projects. Project Number 1 . an Easter gift for Little Cherub. Project Number 2 . a scarf for myself, from a pattern in The Encyclopedia of Crochet Techniques. I have never done anything more than basic crochet before and was inspired by the book (a library find) to try out this fan pattern, using a very old ball of brushed DK yarn I found at the back of a cupboard. Aww, those are so CUTE! She's gonna love them! 19 March 2008 at 17:00.
