A stash depletion update

Firstly, I am going to admit that I have bought yarn, I bought a semi-solid sock yarn from TheKnittingGoddess.co.uk for a test knit. I needed it as I didn't have any suitable yarn in my stash.

I am one whole ball down! Haha it doesn't sound like much, but I knit up a baby cardigan and have now knit up a 100g ball and some stash yarn on it. It's knit in James C Brett Magi-knit baby DK and Robin DK. I matched the buttons to the colours in the yarn. It's so cute.

Also used part of a ball to knit a teddy bear to accompany said baby cardigan.

I'm further along on the aran sweater, I'm now knitting the back of the jumper with a stitch pattern change as I really didn't like doing the diamonds, so I've swapped them for columns which I think give the back a nice sturdy structure. It's also knitting up a lot quicker, which means it'll get finished sooner.

I used part of a 75g ball of acrylic DK on a glasses case for my Mom, it's a nice little thing, so I may write up a quick pattern. Might.

I've discovered another way to knit hexipuffs; centre outwards and back in again, makes a nice little 'puff with self patterning yarn.

Operation Tiny Teddy

This little guy was a boredom buster, and I love it! It's on a gig ticket for size comparisson. Really small!
Here's the pattern: http://littlecottonrabbits.typepad.co.uk/free_knitting_patterns/2008/12/christmas-tree-bears.html

I'm going to make some more & maybe some bunnies. They're so cute.

Chocolate Bear

This is made with the same pattern as the Skittle bear I posted previously. He looks a little funny, it's his eyes, they're too wide apart, and his nose is too far down.

But he's my bear and I love him all the same. I bought that ribbon especially for his neck.

Skittle the Bear

This is the first bear I knitted following a pattern. I made it a couple of summers ago, being a knitting n00b back then I sewed the pieces together using cotton instead of wool. I've decided to post this old picture as I recently un-picked the cotton stitches and be restitching him properly, plus I'm going to give him new stuffing.

I got the pattern as a Christmas present, it's the Baby Popcorn the Bear knitting set.
