They're great! Knitting is one of my other addictions too. I love the top especially - where did you get the pattern?

It was in an Interweave Knits magazine. I used to subscribe, but of course I spend all my money on Bead mags these days Wink

Fab work Denise! Thumbs up

I love the gnome, is it one of Alan Dart's patterns? I'm a knitter too, not so much since I took up beading but I still do a few bits when the mood takes me. Rainbow

I used to love knitting, but I've never been fast enough at it so I get frustrated.

I love the socks - they remind me of lampwork beads! Very Happy

It is an Alan Dart pattern Liz. I'm the same now, just pick up my knitting every now and again - I've had a sleeve for a cardigan on my needles for about six months Wink

Edited to add - Julie, is there anything that doesn't remind you of lampwork beads hun ? Laughing

OOh fab! My mum used to knit me lots of jumpers! Very Happy

I tried knitting, but I'm more of a sewer like my grandmother was apparently!

But you still like playing with colour ROTFL

the knitted toys, so cute haven't tried to make something as small and complex. But I do like to knit with lots of colour

but alas its too time consuming I made and cherish Sarah Burnett's wonderful russian inspired jackets, she's based in dorset and hand dies all her wool, amazing colours and every hank and dye lot makes for a unique piece, most of the designs I have are from her book, Passion for Colour

is her current work..amazing (prices Shocked

which is why I made my own)

Then I turned into full time worker drone and my knitting career was over. I do still get my needles out these days but to make jumprings ROFL

And I've only just seen your cheeky comment! Ner-ner
