Nanna says she enjoyed making the “free knitting and scrumbles shawl” that’s for sale at Kapiti Gallery. She says she’s going to make one for herself now, in colours she loves and wears a lot. We’re guessing it will be blue… But Nanna also says, If someone wanted to pay her a small fortune for it, she might sell it to them! Continue reading Scrumble shawls
Nanna says she started knitting a jersey in colours to match her new trousers – and it got away on her! It’s long and striped and although it matches her “autumn” pants, she doesn’t often wear scarfs and might sell it instead. We reckon it looks lovely and snuggly and warm and wiggly! Continue reading Long and winding scarf
…and knitted a couple of new ones! Nanna says she’s very happy someone bought her “Jump for Joy” jersey for their little kid and also some kids’ ugg boots. We got beautiful yarn for Nanna for Christmas, and she’s nearly finished knitting a cardigan/jacket. The wool we got her is twisted blue and purple, and she’s knitting in some of the matching blue “for added interest”, she says. We wonder what lucky little kid will get to wear it? Nanna says it’s probably too small for either of us, coz we’re big kids now. Continue reading Nanna sold a jersey…
Nanna says she’s scrumbling again. She’s joined the scrumbles together. She says it’s going to be a shawl. She plans to put it in an exhibition. It looks very warm! We wonder who will buy it? PS At the top of the first picture is a kind of scrumble flower bag Nanna made a while ago. Continue reading Scrumble Shawl
Nanna is still knitting for us, even though we’re far away now. Little Brother and Big Brother have moved to their dad’s hometown in South Korea. It’s a long way from New Zealand! Little Brother is wearing his stripy jersey already, and Nanna says she’ll send a Big Brother’s soon. She says it’s fully reversible – that means you can wear it back-to-front! (감사합니다 – gamsahamnida – Nanna!) Now they’re done, Nanna says she’s going to keep on with the scrumbles she started last year. Continue reading We’re far away…
Nanna says she’s knitting as quick as she can, to get jerseys finished for Little Brother and Big Brother. Mummy asked her to knit for us, becsuse we are going to South Korea for a while, and we will arrive in winter! Here’s Little Brother’s jersey so far: Continue reading Stripy stitching is fun!
Nanna says she’s really enjoying “free knitting”! These are her scrumbles so far. She thinks they’re getting away on her… Continue reading she’s still scrumbling
When she finished knitting a vivid stripy scarf, Nanna says she hat lots of bits of colours to play with. So she’s doing freeform knitting, making scrumbles. We don’t know what they’ll turn into. Nanna says she doesn’t know, either. But she’s got some ideas… Nanna always says “I’ve got an idea!” (Little brother says, “So does Maisie Mouse!” What do you think it will be? (We don’t think it’s something for us to wear, but Nanna says, “You never know!” Continue reading Scrumbles – you never know…
Nanna says she’s just finished a “summer beach / winter weight” scarf. There’s a matching necklace you might want to buy to wear with it. Nanna says they’ll be on felt.com soon. Continue reading Scarfies
Nanna’s knitted a LOT OF HATS but they’re not for Little Brother – who doesn’t like hats, anyway – or for Big Brother who already has a snuggly purple hat. The hats Nanna’s been knitting are to give away to kids who don’t have a Nanna or Mum who knits for them; or who need to stay at someone else’s place and don’t have time to take their clothes (Foster Hope). We’re lucky coz we’ve got lots of clothes at home and some at Nanna’s house, too. So, can you guess what Nanna’s been knitting just now? Here’s an idea: … Continue reading can you guess what this is?
