Grown a sleeve now.

My cardigan has now grown a sleeve



Progressing nicely.....and the second sleeve has already grown since this photo was taken.

Knotty projects this week.



A simple adjustable bracelet.....and below is a bead one.....quite a soft one as the thread is cotton.

Side knot bracelet project

My Knotty bit this week. 

One of the patterns in my magazine turned out like this......quite a pleasing effort, I thought!

I have also been knotting 

I bought a Paracord magazine which had some "free" cord and buckles.........so this is what I have done with one bit. 
It is the first time I have used a buckle....have been struggling with end loops and knots before.......I may have to re do it as I think the loop is in the wrong place at one end of the buckle.


This weeks projects.

The cardigan I am knitting for my grandaughter.  




The circular needles are very handy for this one, as it is knit in one piece, so has a lot of stitches around the main body bit.

My new project.


Now I have started knitting a cardigan for my grandaughter.





The next picture is what the finished cardigan will be like, as I have already knitted this one for my other grandaughter.

This is the sweater which I have just finished knitting for my husband.  It is a sort of "Designer" knit, as I did not have any proper pattern to follow.  
The basic pattern is 7 and 1 stitch which makes the down stripes.  This was taken from an old 1950's knitting book...for a sleeveless pullover which was a 7 and 2 stitch. 
Therefore I had to make up the sleeves and shaping for them. 
It is not excellent, but my husband likes it.

Some more of my macrame creations.

Square knotting with beads


Square knotting with added cross overs.


None of this is perfect yet, as I have only been learning and attempting Macrame for a few weeks.
