A Mothers Day Gift

I’m making these for my mother and another pair for my mother in law (I hope they’re not reading this and ruining the surprise!).They look very rough at this point as they still need a lot of attention, but I’ll be going through the steps to making them on here soon enough :)

making socks

Over the next week (whenever I get time) I shall be putting up a guide on knitting socks on a flat bed knitting machine. I have two to show on; the Knitmaster 450 and the Singer 560(previously shown). I have the ribbing machines compatible with both but at the moment there is a large family of spiders living in them in my garage so until I get someone to poke them out for me, that’s where they’re staying :P

Here’s a couple images of some early creations to get it started :D

This pair are a birthday gift for a rugby fan (these are his club colours) but when I get some practice on ribbing the top cuff I shall be putting some up for sale in various colourways *fingers crossed*

wow, this has been a long time left stagnant. Thought I'd give it a bit of a spruce up. Being as I've recently updated my website www.misaki.co.uk This seems like a good time to do some spring cleaning.

What have I been up to lately? Well, apart from telling a very disappointed UCLAN surveyor that I'm gainfully unemployed at the moment there have been a few developments on the personal design aspirations. I have a very fancy Singer 560 Knit Machine and ribbing attachment! This means I can progress a lot more successfully in my knitwear range. I have recently been making sports scarves for a local club which seem to be selling like hotcakes (which the cold whether has helped immensely, thanks for that!)


Without the attachment but isn't she sexy? :D

check out the website for pics on the finished products :D

And I shall have some new knitwear ideas on here in the near future ^_^
