Sunday Summary - The week's knitting.

Henry, having got his new hair deserved a new sweater and I had been wanting to make this one for a while with my special Arapawa NZ Wool.  This wool is from a rare breeds sheep and is just wonderful and perfectly 'boyish' I think.

He is certainly pleased with it and hasn't taken it off.

I have knitted a couple more dresses for my Etsy Shop 

Sparkly purple, this dress would of course look fantastic with the appropriate boots!  

The back

Plus hot pink - again with glitter/sparkles through it, although the colour is difficult to capture at our current levels of low light.

Maddison of course thinks it goes perfectly with her hot pink boots and this time she is right!

A Christmas dress for Tilly, 'A Girl for All Time'

On my needles to be finished.

I'm not normally one to put feedback on my posts, but was thrilled to get this lovely message in reference to the cardigan and beret above that I showed last week:

Hi Lorraine, Received my sweater today and am in total Awe of your talent. Such tiny stitches and your workmanship is amazing! I LOVE THIS!

Sunday Summary - The Last Two Weeks Knitting.

 I managed to do a little knitting while away and also some this week as well.

A Christmas sweater with beret.

Modelled by Susan.

An order - this is for a Schoenhut boy, but is also Sasha/Gregor size, knitted with my lovely NZ Merino, Alpaca and Possum wool as are the following three items.

Green sweater

Cardigan and beret

Some non-Sasha knitting:

I made this while I was away for this little 'Sindy' doll who bears no resemblance to the original Sindy!  She is about 7 inches tall.

Plus some knitting for my own dolls for Christmas.

Hearts for Hearts Shola is pleased with her Christmas dress.

My little Corolle Les Cheries Clara has a matching dress.

Chrissy finally has a Christmas dress of her own after modelling others and not being able to keep them.

Little Hazel, my hand carved wooden Bleuette also had a little dress knitted for her.

The four girls together.

I had hoped to get some sewing done this week, but it disappeared on me in the blink of an eye!

Sunday Summary - this week's knitting and sewing..

Henry is pleased to have a new sweater - it is his little Ruru (or Morepork) sweater and he is going to have a hat to match it.

'Ball Game' jacket.  Knitted with some of my lovely New Zealand Merino wool

Some new balls of yarn were bought (even though I am supposed to be using my 'stash' only, this variegated wool is such fun)

Of course once bought, I couldn't wait to start knitting with it.

A Christmas sweater

A dress for Maddison.  She thinks this will be a fabulous dress to wear to Peggy Sue's birthday party.

'Mango Sunrise' this dress is available to purchase - will be on my 'Muriel Makes' Facebook page as well as in my Etsy shop (or can be purchased direct from me via my blog)

The light is so bad at the moment it is difficult to get the true colours to show.

Here is another picture of the dress on Sophia.

'Lime Sorbet' another little dress available to purchase.

Peggy Sue's birthday party dress - she was allowed to try it on briefly for size.  

I have also been busy sewing - although I think it was this that gave me a huge pain flare up earlier in the week.  Must work out what I am doing to cause it.

Five more Christmas dresses have been cut out and are currently 'in progress' - pacing myself with these ones to avoid another pain flare up.

Lastly my Secret Santa Swap has been made and is on its way...
