owls for me ::
Posted by vicki brown on
I was asked to knit something for a twitter friend. I've never been asked to knit something for someone before (normally I just inflict my creations on others) so I was hugely flattered.
The pattern in question was owls by Kate Davies. I had never heard of Kate Davies and her blog needled before, but my am I glad I now have, she has some beautiful patterns! I completely adore these gorgeous pa...

my boy the chef ::
Posted by vicki brown on
one of Milo's main christmas gifts was a little kitchen unit. It's super special because it was handmade by one of our friends for his son and it's perfect for my boy who loves to help in the kitchen.
To accompany the kitchen we got Milo some of these lovely wooden slicing fruits and just 2 days before christmas I decided to stitch him up an apron, hat and oven mitt!
I used (though really I should...

loveheart pixie ::
Posted by vicki brown on
I have been admiring Meg's lovely version of the stella pixie hat on her boy for a while now. But somehow it didn't seem right for Milo, plus I think that boy has quite enough hand knits for his head for the time being! But when my step sister went in to labour a little earlier than expected with her baby girl, I knew that this would be the perfect little hat for her.
In retrospect I should have...

hello ::
Posted by vicki brown on
welcome to my little (new) creative space. I have been blogging in various places for a few years now, but I wanted to set up a new place to write about and share my knitting, crochet and sewing adventures.
You can mostly find me over here. I've been making beads, buttons and ninjas from polymer clay for about 3 years now and selling them over on etsy, but I have been knitting and crocheting for...
