Knitting By The Sea

Easter Chick Knitting Pattern

The shops are full of Easter eggs and, indeed, we have already eaten a few Cadbury's creme eggs. Time to break out Kristine Michelle Howard's Easter Chick knitting pattern again. It makes an ideal cover for a surprise chocolate egg.

Knitted cookies

Bitter Sweet has some amazing knitted Oreo cookies, or biscuits as we call them in the UK. There are lots of lovely knitted things there, even a pattern for a slice of birthday cake.

Knitted Village

Nothing to see here has an article on a Knitted village that you can see in Lancaster. It's in the building that once was Hornsea Pottery. I worked on the leisure site there for a few years and have some happy memories of the place.

Knitted cupcakes / fairy cakes

Catmum has some lovely knitted cakes along with loads of others on oneskein.blogspot

Knitted Easter Egg Baskets

Here's a nice way to give a creme egg, in a knitted basket using the pattern from Aussie Jean

Knitted jacket

I found a picture of this jacket that I knitted in 2003 and have never worn because I put it away in a drawer and forgot about it. The picture was taken before I put the buttons on.

 

Storing knitting patterns on ipod

Pixie Purls had a good idea of how to carry a knitting pattern around, store it on your ipod.

I haven't written anything on here for a long time as I am in a knitting slump. I have a top that I finished ages ago but never stitched up and I just haven't got the knitting urge at the moment. Even my hairdresser remarked that I hadn't been doing my knitting whilst waiting for my red highlights to take. If this slump seems set to last for much longer I will probebly transfer most of this blog to my main site Morecambe Sands.

Knitted Digestive System

Well I seem to use this blog for noting weird and wonderful knitted objects and this must be one of the weirdest I have come across at Strange But True. There is even a pattern, should you wish to create a knitted digestive tract all of your very own. It can be viewed in more detail, complete with labels at Strange But True

Knitted Zombies

I seem to be drawn to novelty knits. As a child I coveted the knitted prizes on the tombola and longed to knit a humpty dumpty or rag doll with 3 foot long legs so that I could have one of my own. I spent my pocket money on booklets of "Bazaar knits" filled with patterns for poodles to cover your toilet roll, tea cosies in the shape of Swiss chalets and not forgetting bed socks, hot water bottle covers and peg baskets. Once I found an entire book devoted to knitting your own farm. The fact that I was in my twenties at the time and had not yet had a child mattered not a jot. I had to buy the book, I might need to knit a farm one day. Hannah Simpson of Electric Biscuit has featured some Knitted Zombies on her site. They would make lovely Halloween Party gifts, should she ever publish the patterns.

Crochet carrot

Not knitted, but a Crochet carrot. I was looking for an image to decorate a recipe with and stumbled across this.
