Latest projects
















 This is a shawl/wrap in 8ply Sublime extrafine merino - the original pattern has the yarn in a silk mix and hence is a lot more draping than my version but I thought it would be nice in the thicker yarn for something dressy for winter plus I loved the yarn and couldn't wait to use it!  The second picture is more to the actual colour.




This is a jumper I am making, left picture shows most of the section up to the armholes and the right picture is a close up of the stitch pattern - and is also a truer colour.  It's quite pink but I thought it would brighten winter up!  It's a Rowan DK 100% wool.


















This is a scarf I am making from a Dream in Colour Smooshy Forest (I think), vastly different to the pattern original of alpaca / merino which is very soft and drapey.  This is soft but with hardly any drape as such.  When the scarf section is finished the patterns calls for a crochet rectangle which is then sewn onto the middle of the scarf and sort of makes a hood for when you want to use it ie, standing at the train station early in the morning in winter....

The Gingerbread House that Almost Was


Oh well, never mind.  First time unlucky - there is always next year.  It was still eaten!

Happy new year everyone!
