Christmas Jimi

I finished Jimi Hendrix with time to spare. I'm not too sure how impressed my Dad was, but at least he knew who it was supposed to be!



Unsurprisingly I received quite a few knitting related gifts for Christmas....my sister gave me a knitting needle case with needles from Cath Kidson and I also got a couple of knitting kits - pattern, wool and needles. One is a scarf and one is a cushion. My Mum gave me a book of tea cosy knitting patterns - possibly a hint!
I'm planning on knitting a pink scarf to help Jenny Chant's mission to knit the world's longest scarf - see Link section - so as usual I'm spoilt for choice!

Fat Audrey


I finally finished the doll a couple of weeks ago after procrastinating for ages and knitting a hat as well. Personally I think she looks rather chubby and a bit too oriental to be Audrey, but she is now wrapped and under the Christmas tree waiting for my sister. I did't understand the instructions for the tiara and necklace, so I improvised slightly.

I did ask some friends who they thought it was supposed to be and they came up with Angelina Jolie.............




I had a bit of a break from Audrey and made my other sister a hat. It's rather dull (visually) and is mistake rid stitch so very quick and easy to do. Hopefully she'll be happy as I found out she wanted a hat. I just hope she meant something like this!


I've started on another doll as a Christmas present. I realise that I'm running low on time and I should be frantically knitting instead of posting on here. So far I have the doll and a shirt. I need to add some hair and facial features and then quickly magic up a pair of trousers. Which is what I'm off to do now. Merry Christmas!
