WOW! They are absolutely fabulous! What a job to make all those details. Great work!

Oh they are gorgeous i am so impressed i bet you are over the moon with them, you are so clever.  I would love to do some of those for my nieces.  Looks too complicated though.

they are lovely, reminds me though that Xmas isn’t that far away - again x Janet

They are lovely Ann.

ooooI like those. Santa should be impressed.

hi
they are so easy to do, just knit and purl, nothing complicated otherwise i wouldn’t be able to do them, have done 8 so far, the 2 that arn’t on the photo were football ones complete with stripes and studs really good for a footy fan as you can do them in team colours,even done one for the dog last year and filled it up with toys and treats and yes I did hang it over the fireplace, they are Jean Greenhowe patterns,

Ah, but I would not be wearing those.!!!

PS, I am thinking of knitting the slippers in a certain other knitting mag. (shhKnitting)

is anyone old enough to remember the knitted swimming costumes way back in the late 40’s my neighbour knitted me and my twin sister one, the first time in the sea it went all baggy and finished up round our ankles and the sea water turned a shade of red.

Jake,

I love the stockings - where did the pattern come from?

Doubt I’d have one ready for this christmas though - might be looking at 2009!

I AM SO EXCITED CAUSE I AM GOING TO KNIT THOSE STOCKINGS.  HOW SAD AYE.
