Some of my knits

Thought I would post a few of the knitted things I have made :)
I started knitting at the end of 2009 so that I could join in with a project at my uni that involved knitting hats and clothes for the premature babies at the medical school. I am still not the best at it but I hope to improve!

Here are a few mini hats I made for the Innocent Smoothie Big Knit project thing. Innocent had an advertising campaign a while ago with talking bunnies which I liked, which is why I decided to make some bunny hats. I sort of made it up as I went along which is why the one on the left has a really fat face and the middle one looks a lot better! I like them and I think I might try to make more of them for the Big Knit this year.

Here is the cardigan that nearly killed me. But it fits so I suppose that is some sort of success. I will never ever make something with this much stockinette ever again. It was soooo boring. I think I am more suited to knitting little toys and things because otherwise I get bored easily. This was quite good for practice though I suppose.

This is a bunny with a coat and scarf that I sold to raise money for some animal rescues. He has a pompom tail too but you can't see from the picture.

Another charity bunny. This time a chocolate easter bunny! For the Make Mine Chocolate-ers on a diet ;) He has a little ribbon and a bell as well. I might make some more if I get a chance. I like the pattern!

Last is a pair of handwarmers although I only have a picture of one hand. It was too hard for me to take a picture of them both while on, lol. Aaaanyway, this was an attempt to keep my hands from freezing while in my draughty un-insulated student house over winter. The knitting kept my hands warm and so did the result so it was win-win!

Sooo those are most of the things I have photos of at the moment. Not knitting anything at the moment. I shall have to have a browse of Ravelry for some ideas I think!

Bye for now
