Cupcake beanie

The yarn  A purple Sirdar snuggly kisses delicate stripe effect DK. 

The tension 22st 28 rows with 4 mm needles. With a pink Sirdar snuggly double knitting yarn of different stripe effect and same label tension.

The Pattern

I've used 4.5mm needles with the 2 yarns mentioned above:

Cast on 35

Row  1. Knit row
Row  2. Purl 2 tog, purl to last stitch, purl into front and knit into front of same stitch, (or increase as you desire)Row  3. KnitRow  4. Purl 2 tog, purl to last stitch, purl into front and knit into front of same stitchRow  5. KnitRow  6. Purl 2 tog, purl to last stitch, purl into front and knit into front of same stitch.

Change colourRow  7. PurlRow  8. Knit 2 tog knit to last stitch, knit into front and knit into back of same stitchRow  9.Purl
Row 10. Knit 2 tog knit to last stitch, knit into front and knit into back of same stitch.

Change colour
Continue in pattern changing colour every 6 rows or 4 rows for 7 more times per colour change or until it measures around 36 cm or so. End on a row 10. Sew up diagonals together. You dont have to be perfect here, as long it goes around your babe's head. (I don't have a babe anymore so it was a bit of a guess for me, sadly they have all grown up.)

Pick up 4 stitches per rib around 140 stitches in my case on one edge and rib knit for 7cm. Cast off neatly. Thread yarn through other end of most stitches and pull in tight and secure end. Add large pompom.

NEW CATALOGUE

Yay the new Catalogue is here now...woohooo...

You can click on the side picture and it will take you there to view online straight away...yippee.

I had an excellent day out with all the lovely ladies...

I had a little competition on my table and I loved making all the scallop projects for it...Unfortunately I gave some of them away before I got some photos. 

But nevertheless here is one I have taken, This is the door prize taggie and an instructional  picture, for you to do for yourself...I've had a lot of interest and thought I would share with you...have fun...





















The choice of retired DSP was perfect...You really do need the contrasting paper to make it stand out. Punch out 4 scallops. Cut in half. Fold a third along the cut edge, and then in half again and again forwards and backwards, see photo above. Attach to coordinating card stock circle and poke a hole through the middle for the brad. I found a brad worked best and I also snipped the points off the end.

I found and angel on pinterest and tried to replicate it without a beaded head...lollipop worked..lol

Again I have used up retired DSP to make some flowers and a boy themed card  Cased from Alison Barclay...Loved the pinpricking so to speak...and then I did find a little cupcake pincushion to add to my cupcake holder...all in fun...

Happy Birthday with a cherry on top

I have just made a beautiful card for my daughters friends birthday...
Love the idea of cherries on top...
This stamp set is one of few hostess gifts from the Annual Catalogue. If you book a qualifying workshop this is one of a few sets you can order with your hostess dollars...

 
I have used bits of scrap papers in the background in matching red and yellow. I have also embossed the whisper white card with a non Stampin' Up folder, while I wait my order for the new Perfect Polka Dots folder...

The colours of ink on this card from the In colour range:

Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple and the interesting Summer starfruit.

and from the brights collection:

Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo. I used a mix of the Classic Stampin' pads and the Stampin' Write Markers.

 
And I also used the Scented Stampin' Emboss Powder Cherry page 159 code 127035, $9.95
with the Versamark ink pad page 159, code 102283, $12.95

Card colour is whisper white page 156, code 106550, 40 sheets A4 $14.95

and would have used the Pefect polka Dots Folder page 189 code 117335, $13.95

and the glue dots give each layer a little lift page 177, code 103683, $10.95 for 300 dots.

along with the Stampin' Dimensionals page 177, code 104430, $6.95
