There was some knitting done in 2021, though it was dominated by these socks with was a gift.

You might guess that these took awhile to knit up. However the wool was lovely so I made these baby booties with the leftovers, as another gift.

Finally, it was time to make a few replacement dishcloths using this pattern. These cloths are typically made in pure cotton yarn and can be used either in the kitchen or in the bathroom. They’re easy for a beginner to knit, and take no time at all. And at the end of the day you can chuck them in the washing machine with your other dirty linens.

A short knitting interlude from Tasmania. I’m catching up on my posts – the last I made was in the first half of 2020. Since then COVID intervened, so it gave me a chance to complete a few things.

The first is a boy’s Spiderman-style beanie using this pattern.

Next was a winter coat for Ruby.

Lastly, another set of lacy fingerless mitts, this time a gift.

Cooler weather might still be a little way off, but that’s no reason to stop knitting. I spent the summer knitting these gifts for various friends.

A toddler’s beanie. Very easy and clever pattern.

A shopping bag out of cotton. Looks like crochet but it’s definitely knitted.

A pair of lovely cable socks with variegated yarn. It’s another Pom Pom Quarterly project, took the longest to do, but was (generally) a pleasure to knit up.
