Mrs Mopitup

Mrs Mopitup - made for my Mum for Christmas. It was my first attempt at making a doll and not my best work. I used the wrong type of wool so it turned out larger that expected.

Other News

I knitted a wee baby hat, for friends of ours that have just had a little girl called Alexandra. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo before wrapping it up.


My mum just bought me a new knitting book with some gorgeous patterns in it so look out for some more photos comming soon!

Mitten time

I realised the other day that I hadn't added my latest work to my blog. A pair of fingerless mittens for my sister's birthday.



I'll be honest....they took me a couple of attempts to make. I'm not sure what went wrong, but they turned out to be massive! Even now my sister says that they are slightly too big for her. Still I enjoyed making them and plan on making myself a pair before winter time.

Another cosy

I created this cosy for my Gran. It was really quick to make and I sewed some different colour beads on it and added a ribbon around the bottom. Personally I don't think it's my best effort. I may just need to make her another!

Green Goddess

This is a Green Goddess cosy that I made for my aunt. She claims to be doing the "Good life" in her garden, so thought this was rather appropriate.



It's supposed to be a green hill, with a stone wall around the bottom. I found some fantastic animal and flower buttons to sew on it.

More tea vicar!

This year seems to have flown by and I haven't had chance to add the photos of the Christmas presents my family were blessed with!

This is a reversible tea cosy I made for my sister. She wanted one that left a hole at the top for the lid, so I found this pattern. My sister likes lots of colour so I decided it was perfect for her.

Barking Mad

I recently completed another tea cosy. This one I made for my best friend's birthday, but I was about a month late. Nevermind.....she still hasn't given me my birthday present and my birthday was in May.



This tea cosy doesn't have holes for the handle and sprout, but just covers the entire tea pot. I struggled a bit with the lining and wadding, but I think I got there in the end.

I'm in the middle of making another tea cosy, which I hope will be finished quite soon. I really want to try and make something different, but I still have a few people who might appreciate a cosy so perhaps I will persevere. I'm just waiting to be invited round to tea now..............
