Two Little Dickie Birds

Two little dickie birds,
Sitting on a wall;
One named Peter,
The other named Paul.
Fly away Peter!
Fly away Paul!
Come Back Peter!
Come Back Paul

Normally I don’t knit toys – the whole sewing up seams and sewing on limbs etc completely puts me off, but when I needed a quick gift for Zoes friend I found this pattern - Sweet Little Bird, I decided to give it a whirl.  And “Little Birdie” was born.

When Morgan saw him, she informed me “knit red birdie moo” so he was soon followed by “Big Red” (seen below trying to find worms for his lunch)

They only took a few hours to knit up (even with a very persistent toddler trying to help some of the time) and used of some of my scraps.  The purple one weighs 17gms (including stuffing) and the red one (wool held double stranded) uses 41gms wool, although he doesn’t have a tail as I ran out of wool.

I’ll definitely be knitting some more of these in the near future.  And at least one more in the very near future, Zoe has put in a request for a nice colourful birdie.

Pattern : Pinwheel Sun Hat (8ply or DK version) by StitchyMama
Yarn :  70gms Moda Vera Bamboo/Cotton

TNN 10 in 2010 – babies and kids - #1

I was looking through my yarn stash the other day and mentioned that this yarn would make a cute sunhat for Morgan.  Well my little madam overheard me, and kept passing me the ball of yarn, pointing to my needles and telling me “Moo hat”.  Every time I dared out the needles down for a minute, she’d pick up everything and bring it back to me “Moo hat mum” needless to say we ended up with big tangles a few times *insert rolly eyes emoticon here*

Love this pattern, super easy knit this time, the last time I knit this pattern, thanks to Kelly - I realised I had been doing my YO’s wrong  which would explain why a couple of lace type patterns I’d tried to do hadn’t worked out too well.   I think it turned out super cute and I love the way the yarn knits up.

As you can see Morgan loves her new hat (shes also quite the little poser) and has worn it a lot, I wasn’t even allowed to sew in the ends or block the edge until she went down for a nap.

My Little Knitter

Morgan loves watching me knit and always likes to know who I’m knitting for.  She picked up some of my knitting needles this afternoon, pointed to my wool stash and said “I knit mummy”, I passed her what was in arms reach and she sat on her stool “knitting”
