Doll Hat

I made this for my friend Polly.

I made it from unknown yarn in my stash.
Pale green cotton type.
I decorated this hat with cotton lace and fabric roses from The Works.
I also pinned a satin bow at the back.
 

Pudsey Bear

The pattern states 2 100 gram balls needed, but I only used one.
I am making this for my boss who has promised to donate to Children in Need.
I have finished all the pieces and sewn them up. Now I need to put it all together and embroider the eyes, nose and mouth. ( I keep putting this bit off, I don’t know why)

I have finished the bear.
I knit the eye-patch but I don’t like it, it’s too bulky, so I have ordered some cotton fabric to make a patch.
 

Land Girl

I made this for my daughter for Christmas. She loves it.
I got the pattern here:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/ann-franklins-ravelry-store

Neck Warmer

I made a bunch of these for Christmas gifts.
This yarn was from Wilco and I made one adult and one child's neck warmer from one ball.
