Latest Completed Orders

This tank top was knitted for a customer in London.  It is the customers own yarn and pattern that were used, so this garment cannot be repeated and the pattern is not available to the public.

This jumper is a plain round neck raglan jumper knitted in Aran weight yarn.

This one is for a customer, but if you like it, why not order one for yourself!

I am now knitting one of three jumpers in Artessano Alpaca Aran.  These are for a customer and I am using the customers pattern.

Lace Scarf

Lace ScarfThis scarf was knitted from a book of lace patterns.  I ended up making it too short, but I still like how it looks.

The yarn is Nef Lace by fyberspates and is in the “Sea Blue” colour.

I have just finished knitting a Flower Basket Lace scarf in this yarn and it looks lovely.  I just need to block it and take photos.

And I still have enough yarn leftover to knit another one.

Swallowtail Lace Shawl

Here is another Swallowtail Lace Shawl that I have finally managed to block and photograph.

This one is knitted in Nef Lace by fyberspates.  It is 70% Baby Alpaca, 20% Silk and 10% Cashmere and cost £15 for 100g/1200 meters.

The colour is “Red” although it is quite a pale red.  The yarn is hand painted in Wales.

I seem to have been knitting the same 4 or 5 patterns for the past while, and I still have more finished projects to blog about so you should be hearing from me again soon.

Flower Basket Lace Shawl

This pattern is by Evelyn A. Clark and I have knitted it in yarn from PoshYarn.com

The yarn is 50% silk, 50% cashmere and cost £16 for 100g/1300 yds.

I knitted the scarf size which was 8 pattern repeats.  I think I would get bored if I knitted it much longer.

I have knitted more of this pattern, but I still have to block them and take photos.  Hopefully, I will get round to it soon. :-)

Kid Silk Haze Scarf

The pattern for this scarf was purchased in John Lewis and it came as a kit with 3 balls of yarn.

I have knitted it several times now, each time in a different colour.  This colour is called “Smoke”, and although it looks white in the picture, it is more grey than white.

You can’t see in the picture how wide or long it is but I just couldn’t get a decent photo of it.

I have enough yarn to knit one more of these, in black, but I have been putting it off because it is quite difficult to see and needs a bit of concentration.

Swallowtail Lace Shawl – Brown

This is another Swallowtail Shawl by Evelyn A. Clark and is available as a free download on Ravelry.  (You need to be signed in to see the pattern & download)

I used some 100% wool lace weight yarn is Brown.

I wasn’t too sure about the colour but now that it is knitted and blocked, I think it works great!

As usual the photo isn’t very good.  It is so dull outside, there was more light inside. :-)

This is a very enjoyable pattern to knit.  It isn’t too complicated so I was able to watch tv while knitting it.  (My favouite kind of knitting)

I have more lace shawls in the queue to be blocked, but just can’t get the time to get them all done.  Hopefully the weather will start to clear up and I will get some other photos taken and blogged about soon.

A quick update

Newest addition to our familyI am still knitting away, and I have done a few lace projects, but I haven’t had the time to block them yet, so I haven’t taken any photos.

But I do have a photo of the latest addition to our family.  His name is Harry, and he is approx. 14.2hh and he will be 5 this year.

He really is a lovely pony, although he is a bit green, much the same as me really.  He is very quiet and will stand for ages.  I have only ridden him a couple of times because I need to get a new saddle.

The one I got with him doesn’t fit properly anymore as he has filled out a bit.

I have booked the saddler, but she can’t come until the 12th of May, so I will just need to put my patience hat on.

It goes without saying that I have been spending a lot more time outside in the field, but I do hope to get some knitting blocked and photographed soon and I will post about them when I do.
