NOW TO ASSEMBLE YOUR CADDY

You must have 3 pieces for your caddy. The long piece is the body and there should be 2 pockets.

The right side of the pocket goes onto the back side of the body. Sew them together and then turn the pocket to the outside. Do that 2 times.

Easy as pie. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to yell.

Have a great day.

Hugs and blessings




The caddy knitted in stockinette stitch and embellished with knitted flowers and embroidery.

MORE KNITTING

This is another of Will's designs, he is a natural, he designed this while on vacation in December 2007.
This is my frist try at designing, but I think I must stick to knitting and leave it to the people who know what to do.
Chante's doll - School Outfit that I knitted, my what a pretty outfit that doll has, even a neck tie!!!!! LOL
What a lucky dolly to have such a neat uniform.

Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your comments, they mean the world to me. Have a great day and God bless all that visit my blog.

SHIRLEY'S WORK

This is a set that I knitted for our yarn supplier, Mohammed's son, it is a gift for his girl friend who stays in Durban.
This is a scarf in progress.
Chante's crocheted blanket.
I am busy with George's Pullover, luckily I have knitted a few rows today.
This is a Lizard that Amy designed, I test knitted it for her, is it not just too cute? I like this Lizard, my son William has two of them living in his apartment in the Cape, so I am going to knit another one in Terracotta and give it to Will.

FINISHED TEDDY OUTFIT

Now does she not look too sweet, this is the funniest kid around and she has such a marvelous sense of humor, Oumie is baie lief vir jou my ou Patat.
Look at that face, I could just give her such a big kiss. I love this little girl of mine so very much. Jy is te kostelik oumie se Patat.
SAY AAAAHH, mouth wide open, let the Uncle Dr see your tonsils!!!!!!!A beautiful cloth designed by our own Amy, man my hubby loves this one, there is another one, I have to still knit it, but it will be done as soon as today, promise Amy.
Just another cloth that I knitted, one of many in my desire to make two blankets, one for each of my little darlings, Chante and Tash. There are almost enough to get their blankets done before our winter comes. It is starting to get mighty chilly over here in South Africa.

NOW ON TO THE ADDICTION IN MY LIFE

This is the very first KAL done in our new group ShirleysKnittingKnook, what a wonderful design, done by the very talented Melanie or better know to all Mel. Well done my friend, you are really talented and we look forward to many more such wonderful designs. Come on Amy, now that your huge assignment is completed, we hope that you will be designing a new KAL for our group.
This is one of our Amy's designs, she too is a very talented lady. Amy you and Mel can have a new design for each KAL that we do. The monthly KAL is in your and Mel's hands and the mid-month KAL is my baby. So get your pencil sharpened and your pc going and come up with a new design for the group please, you have about 3 weeks, so you can do it.
This is the sweater I designed and knitted for myself. I am an addicted knitter and I love knitting all kinds of things, just not socks, I cannot seem to get a liking to knitting socks. Okay Mel, I know what you want to say, it is so nice knitting socks, but I will stick to my favorite, sweaters, cardigans and the like, BUT not many socks will be coming off my needles.

My late mother taught me from a very young age to knit, but boy was she a strict teacher. I am not sorry though,as she taught me all there was to know about knitting, and I thank my late Mom for the lessons she taught me, because of Mom, I learned to love the art of knitting and thus my addiction to knitting, which gladly my darling daughter Chantal, inherited from both my darling Mom and I.

I am going to share a whole lot of wonderful things with you.

Thank you for visiting my blog and for the wonderful, uplifting comments left by all.
