Knitted party favours!!!!


As someone of you know, my "little" son Tobia turned 10 last monday (here) and today we had his B-party!!! For this occasion, some days ago I collected a pair of knitting needles and some balls of colourful yarn...



.....but to knit what??
Well, I'll show you through a nice amount of pictures taken during the w.i.p..... If you'd love to follow me in this yarn journey, please, you are all welcome!!! Grab a cuppa with you and relax...


























So.....aren't they fantastic??? Super easy to knit (and a lot of fun and surprise while shaping them!!), just too many tails to weave in ...!!!  As they are intended to be in the party bags, this mean they are not meant to stay in my home forever....it's hard to give them away!!! I think I'm gonna knit another bunch of them very soon!! ;oD Happy Days!!!
The pattern and the inspiration come from the latest book by Jane Bull : "Stitch by Stitch - A beginner's guide to needlecraft". I strongly recommend it even for adults and non beginners : a lot of brilliant projects are waiting for you!!!


"Bye Bye!!" from these little dudes!!! I'll miss you guys!!!

See you soon, xxx

P.S. : You'll find these guys and more crafts over here : Creative Friday and Link your Stuff !!!

    Oh wow - these little guys are just great, Alessandra! We were celebrating our youngest's birthday on Saturday too - how funny!! (He turned 11 last week).

    I'm afraid I didn't quite manage the goody-bag thing this year, but they had fun anyway - hope yours went well too :) :)

Make it ! Knitted triangular scarf !!!

Last December, I saw a very simple and cute scarf knitted by Angie ( le monde de sucrette) and I thought to knit one for me, too, but then I was busy with the gifts to prepare for family and friends back in Italy .... so nothing was done for me!!! Luckily, some days ago, while browsing through my blogs list, I found a post from Ilaria ( IDA interior lifestyle) , who was proposing the same (she added a pompom!) piece of clothing .... I didn't have any excuse to wait longer for knitting my own triangular scarf!!!! ;oD So, I started .... Do you want to start one, too ??? Well, you need : some yarn ! My personal choice was : Lana Grossa Basics Calmo (59% acrylic, 24% cotton and 17% linen), shade 207. All my 4 balls of yarn (50g each) have been used for this project. Then 2 balls (50g each) from Rowan Classic Cotton Jeans Yarn (100% cotton), shade 365-Sierra, for both stripes and tassels! a pair of 4,5mm  knitting circular needles or, if you prefer, a pair of long ...

Make it ! The Granny Yarn Chain !!!

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS ???? SURE YOU ARE !!! I now that!!!! ;oD So during this last week I was showing you via Instagram (see  my personal feed ) some colourful pictures about my new crochet w.i.p. , which I completed last night ... ... so this morning, before school/office time a couple of boys helped me with the last photos for this blog post ... TA-DAH ... The beauty of this project resides in the fact that is adaptable to any extent, any kind of yarn and any corner of your home (in or out!) !!! The inspiration and "creative kick" derives from two other projects I've seen around :  The Chain Statement Necklace  by my dear friend Miki from  Set Free My Gypsy Soul  and  Peggy's Comfy Indoors Blanket  by Pip Lincoln from  Meet Me at Mike's  !!! Thank you both, girls !!! It has been a long time since I've been wanting to crochet (or even knit !) a paper chain ... I made some long paper chains for our Christmas tree back in ...

Make it ! The Granny Bunny !!!

You know, this picture from my  Instagram feed  has collected more than 900 likes ... ... and a colourful crocheter named Karin @woolfieber , made her own version just looking at my pic (you can find her work  HERE  ) !!!! My idea, since the beginning , was to prepare a photo tutorial for you, but do you really need one ? These Granny Bunnies are so easy to crochet, believe me !!!! YOU NEED : some colourful mercerised cotton a 3,5 mm hook a pair of scissors a tapestry needle beads for embellishments (optional) Please note that I follow the US crochet terminology, thank you ! Each bunny measures 13 cm in height and it can be used for different purposes : bunting, hanging decorations, appliques, brooches, on napkin rings and more !!!! The sky's the limit !!! You can use this pattern even with different yarns and, consequently, hook sizes !!! ;oD Abbreviations : DC = double crochet ch = chain SC = single crochet 2SCtog = 2...
