Crazy Knitting, Emmas Room and a Fox

Yesterday I went on a Crazy Knitting workshop at New Mills Gallery. It was so much fun and is proving rather addictive but then show me a craft that isn't. Firstly we had to pick different wools from the enormous pile in the middle of the table. We then cut a strip of each one and knotted them end to end to get one long piece of ever changing wool. Then we just started to knit! When we felt like it we then cast off to the last stitch, turned the knitting, picked stitches up down the side and started knitting again. This was the piece that I had at the end of the afternoon.

Of course when I got home it couldn't be put down so I kept adding more bits. Here is one side of the knitting......

..and here is the other.

I shall keep on going with this piece or maybe start another! I would like to add in some crochet to it as well bringing in extra textures and stitches. Its a great way of knitting, very relaxing and rule free.

A while ago I finished the last few pieces for Emmas bedroom for Pickett Hill but never got round to blogging the photos so here they are.

The cupboard bed.

The pictures for the wall.

The doll trunk.

The pieces in this kit were so tiny, the beautiful brass hinges, handle and lock.

Lastly I just wanted to share a photograph of a drawing of a fox that Elliot did at school. I love it so very much. I am partial to a good fox picture and this really made me smile.
