hi everyone
right, here is my entry, i used sunbeam paris mohair 50g ball and i still have a very small amount left, they are crocheted and the pattern was from the website crochetme.com so it is somebody else's pattern - i had to freeze them after making them cos amber said they were "a bit itchy"...oops, hahaha!!!

btw, all the entries on here are excellent so good luck and well done to everyone...

Ooooh, lovely Emmilou! Love the colours and they're going to keep Amber lovely and snuggly warm in the winter too

thanks so much, suzie, i didn't think it was itchy when i was making them but i suppose i'm constantly moving the wool and it's not "sitting" on my skin (as such)

Well if Amber complains too much about itching you could always line them with a colourful fabric which would show through the crochet beautifully

Hi Kate and hello my knitty friends.
Well here is my entry. I've never entered a knitting competition before, so this was a great one to start with as it only required a ball of wool or less.
It's 'Techno' from issue 9, a mobile phone cover.
I knitted it in Patons Diploma Gold DK and I'm delighted with the result!

Wow, that's super-cute Dietgirl. Well done!

I haven't entered a knitting compo before either and now I'm wondering what I'll put in. Knowing my luck I'll forget and the closing date will be on top of me before I know it!

Hi folks,

just thought I would have a wee go at this knitting challenge as I have never done one before.

This is a washing up liquid bottle dress lol, its the first time I tried this pattern and it was downloaded from the internet and I managed to knit it up today while watching Loose Women.

Here's hoping the pic downloads ok.

All the best
Heather
