The Latest Knits

Well lack of posting on the blog means one thing, lots of knitting being created. I have been getting quite a few orders at Shazzas Knits which has certainly been keeping me busy. I have started my new job as co-ordinator of the uniform shop at my kids school which like anything new is taking time to learn the ropes. Janelle is also in the process of getting braces on her teeth, at the moment she has an expander fitted to allow room for her teeth to fit when the braces go on next month. I have included some of the latest completed knitting projects, they were all a lot of fun to knit especially Janelles slippers which I have had to coax from her feet to take the photo. The pattern was from an old Patons Nic Nacks book full of lovely 'grandma knits' as I call them but the slippers were given a Shazzas makeover using Patons Inca and I added a shell crochet border, just had to use this new learnt skill somewhere!

Wow you have been busy and I love the first hat!! You are so brave and confident now with your crocheting. How amusing that Janelle had to have her sleppers gragged from her!!!

Uniform Shop eh...that should be and new and interesting addition to your mental health.
You are a knitting machine !!! My mum uses to knit us slippers like that when we were kids.She used carpet wool which was really really thick and scratchy until you wore them in and they lasted for years!!!
