The Knitting Song
The Knitting Song from LOVE. LIFE. UKULELE.
by Sophie Madeleine - http://youtu.be/aroRgkD3VHY
- I'm going to knit myself a sweater.
A sweater that will keep me warm at night.
Just how many days here must I weather?
Just biding my time...
'cause when I call you on the phone,
I'm still lost, I'm still alone.
Who's going to make it right? (Oooh wah ooh)
Who's going to make it right? (Oooh wah ooh)
I'm going to write myself a letter.
A letter that will make me feel alright.
I'll read it to myself five times or seven.
But I can't deny
I'm going to need a little more than just some thought that I adore to keep me warm at night. (Oooh wah ooh)
To keep me warm at night. (Oooh wah ooh)
Nine days don't amount to much when you cross them off a wall.
And I thought I was out of luck 'til you came along and made me fall.
Now there's nothing more to say, since you left and gone away.
And I just don't think I'll get through the night.
Because I need a little more than just some thought
that I adore to keep me warm at night. (Oooh wah ooh)
Oh keep me warm at night. (Oooh wah ooh)
Because I need a little more than just some thought that I adore to keep me warm at night. (Oooh wah ooh)
Oh keep me warm at night. (Oooh wah ooh)

second try - Turn A Square by Jared Flood
details... as you notice big for some boy I love... Leonardo and I are in awe of the huge Greek house in the background - could not resist adding as a backdrop...
My first: Turn A Square
oh Jared... awesome pattern- colour was not right for bro so tried again... but this one matches my leather jacket :) details if you like...
Bella's Mittens
for details inspired from Twilight I hear - all I know is warm and so cozy in camel and love the colour :)
Valour Colourscape
Finished.... The gauge is out on one front panel …. I think the yarn on that skein looks a bit smaller on further inspection… The bitchy bees told me that it looks great and I am being far too hard on myself so I just did the finishing touches and sewed on the button. I get compliments whereever I go and I love the colours so much!Saturday, 22 January 2011
SweetMama's Toorie - test knit

Dominick the Christmas Donkey - I'm not a Majhare
more details here...Done and as in love with him as my Italian reciprient - notice the italian christmas ribbon for Dominick - I hope Leonardo laughs :) It felted way more than I planned but still seems to work. Hilarious that my Majhore for Christmas exists in a children’s song about an Italian donkey that helps deliver presents to children named Dylan: http://beemp3.com/download.php?file=4894139&song=Dominick+The+Donkey+%28The+Italian+Christmas+Donkey
