Major case of the Wanties!

I havent shared my wantful desires with you lately so I thought I would share these beauties with you: 


Any child of the 80's will know this movie - GOONIES!! If you havent seen it I suggest you do, its epic as is this T-shirt! 


I am super jealous of this girls shoe cupboard, Oh to own all of these beauties! 


This super cool Hello Kitty satchel is to die for and Im soooo in love with it! 


I took this picture - I was in Schuh and came across these shoes, my heart skipped a beat and I feel in love (i have my fingers crossed that I may get a pair for my birthday) 


Heat change tiles - Who wouldnt want these in their shower stall? 


A tree house holiday! This looks so cool and screams to my inner child! I would love this!

Newest Project

I've just finished another knitting project. Its a cowl for a colleague at work. I wanted something simple that would show off the colour of the yarn. The yarn I used was James C Brett Magi-knit baby DK and the colour way is 2126 and the pattern I chose was the Gradient Cowl by Samantha Kirby which I came across on Ravelry. I made it a little shorter as I didn't have the yardage required so I cast on 260 instead of the 320 recommended. However I'm really pleased with the end result:





The stitch you use is linen stitch and working in the round with this type of stitch is so easy! I am madly in love with these stripes and would eventually love to make a linen stitch blanket from this yarn. There are some great colourways. Check out the Deramores website for all the colours they do. I would also like to make myself a cowl/scarf from linen stitch as the end result feels really thick and warm. Watch this space for more knitting projects.
