More FOs and some UFOs

I've been a bit rubbish about posting my knitting. Here's some things I finished recently:

A toolset for Jacob from Amigurumi Two. I'm a bit dissapointed with it as you can see the stuffing through. I should have probably used a smaller hook. Still cute though.

A mushroom, also from Amigurumi Two.

I saw Meriel's Eden Scarf at the Centurion knitting group and took a shine to it. I didn't have the pattern so I made something up that seemed similar. I'm happy with how it turned out, although I think it would have looked better in a varigated colourway with a larger repeat, but I just used what I had in my stash at the time.

I'm in the middle of a couple of things too. This sock uses the pattern Rick from Cookie A's recent sock book, 'Sock Innovation'. It's done in Cherry Tree Hill 4 ply.

This is the Echoes of Northumberland Throw, which is made from a kit I bought from Ingrid Wagner at her studio in Northumberland. It is extremely large, which you can't tell from the picture. I did enjoy knitting it but I got a bit distracted from it. It's a bit antisocial as you can't sit next to anyone for fear of knocking them out with the large needles. Will look good in the living room when it's done.

And here's a photo of Jacob.

FOs

Two things for my friend Leanne's 30th Birthday:

A baby Koala from Amigurumi Two by Ana Paula Rimoli.

A pair of Froot Loop socks, in a silk-wool blend from Knitting4Fun (purchased at WoolFest many years ago).
