My daughter asked me to knit her a watch for Christmas and I thought it looked so good, I did her another one, although I don't think the second one is as good. The first one is knitted in some black and gold wool left over from a tie I knitted for a boyfriend when I was in my twenties and the second is some blue boucle that my mother knitted a skirt and jumper in for herself when I was a child.
Before Christmas the lovely Alex had a fantastic 'Twelve Days of Christmas' themed giveaway and I was lucky enough the win the second day (Two Turtle Doves) which was dove and squirrel notecards and dove grey nail varnish. As they were wrapped up so nicely I saved them to open on Christmas day. She also included a matching Christmas card.
I love those knitted watches, I have a couple of those old Patons Bazzar leaflets with all sorts of whimsical knits in...........I'm sure there are knitted watches in there too.
ReplyDeleteLovely goodies in your win.

The watches are brilliant! So glad that you liked your prizes :)
ReplyDeleteI love that both of the watches were knit from yarn that 'had a history'...saved from past projects. Lovely prizes, too! The '12 days of Christmas card' looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely watches, I especially like the black one, you have a very lucky daughter! I do like the squirrel notecards too, what a lovely gift to receive!
ReplyDeleteThankyou for your comments on my blog. The cat is on the mend thanks!!!! The mice were very well received, they have been playing in all sorts of places, including a wooden castle and a racing car! Have a very Happy New Year!
Love the watches! And I hear kids these days don't wear watches, so the lack of functionality is not an issue. :) These are great.
ReplyDeleteHappy Xmas! I love those watches, inspired in fact. xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat fun watches. I'd love to make time stand still when I'm in the craft room. Great prizes. Just found you blog. You take beautiful photos. I love the one with the frozen milk bottles. Brilliant! Merry Christmas & Happy New year. Jacs x
ReplyDeleteClever idea to make those watches....And a good use for leftover yarn that brings back a blast from the past. Happy new year!
