Raksha; that is brilliant:T I love the cable with the fairisle it lifts the black nicely. Maybe if you have a look on Raverly there might be some more patterns to tax your brain!

Here is little Maurice Monkey. A change from the rabbits but I hope he will be as popular!

Morning Everyone

It's been ages since I posted on here, so hope you're all well.

I take notions for knitting and cross stitch, and don't always have the time to do it, but would love to be able to find some more spare time!

Anyway, I wondered if anyone could suggest anything that I could knit for a couple of extra presents for teenage girls (16) - possibly that I could do between now and Sunday?? !! lol

After New Year I'm going to start doing some Christmas jumpers for next year as I'd love one! Has anyone else been doing them this year?

How about a snood - like this http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/snood-moebius

Deramores have just sent me a link to a free download for a 'cowl' which is similar - http://www.deramores.com/media/deramores/pdf/rice-stitch-cowl-pattern.pdf

Decided that just because I don't have any girl children, doesn't mean I can't knit for girls. It was lovely to knit something 'pretty' for once. My next project is a Fair Isle sweater for my DIL

Teen Girls are really into knitted/crochet headbands at the moment. My 3 girls have all put in requests for a few. Make them quite thick so they double up as earmuffs too but try to taper in slightly at back cos if they wear their hair over top of thick band it can tend to bulge out and they dont like that.
Hope that makes sense and helps. If you google there are loads of free patterns out there and they are really quick to do.

If you want something similar to that - what is it that you don't like about that one?
