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!
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!
…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.
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.
Nanna says she’s really enjoying “free knitting”! These are her scrumbles so far.
She thinks they’re getting away on her…
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.
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: Nanna says it’s similar to – that means, kind of like – another one she knitted, but this one’s smaller. We’ll show you:
It’s going to be a hoodie!
It’s a bit like the tunic Nanna’s finished, that’s ready to buy:
After making quite a lot of things to sell, Nanna says she’s knitting winter jerseys for us just now. She’s nearly finished one for big brother, and then she’ll start on little brother’s one.
When they’re done, she’ll post photos of us wearing them. If you like them, you could commission one.
(Nanna, what’s comishun?)
Nanna is knitting a tunic with the wool she got with our Christmas voucher. It’s for a grownup lady.
Nanna says we should try and say “woman” not “lady” but she thinks it’s a losing battle. We don’t know what that means. We aren’t fighting (right now). Sometimes we fight about who plays with the bus. Or the garbage truck. Or whatever one of us has that makes the other one want it. Nanna says there are heaps of toys to play with.
She doesn’t understand. It’s a brothers thing.
Nanna says turquoise is tricky to photograph, and the wool is really the colour that the mug looks like in these photos.
Little brother says, “Nanna jink. Hot. No.o.o.o”. He means Nanna’s drink is too hot and he’s not allowed coffee anyway.
I’ll just grab the truck while Little brother isn’t looking…
We got Nanna a wool shop voucher for Christmas. She spent it last week. Nanna says it took her ages and ages to choose.
Guess what colour wool she bought?
A word from Big Brother: we are staying at Nanna’s place at the moment. She’s busy knitting something but won’t tell us what it is. She says we take up so much time, and we’re not to mess with her wools like rascal little kittens! She’ll be back to show you some more photos soon.
Bye bye, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
