  • Birthday Aran - Take Two - Finished

    Shirley | October 28, 2008

    I got this jumper done while I was at my mothers. I started it the day I got there on the 16th and finished it on the 24th.
    I came home on the 25th and David tried his jumper on and loved it straight away. Normally, when he gets something new, it sits in [...]

    Birthday Aran Finished

    Shirley | October 15, 2008

    I finally finished Davids birthday jumper on Friday last week, but I have only just managed to get the photo uploaded.
    When David tried the jumper on, it just didn’t look good on him, so I have promised to knit him another one in a different colour and pattern.
    Since finishing the jumper, I have been knitting [...]

    Childs Aran jumper

    Shirley | October 7, 2008

    Here is the childs aran jumper that I started and finished in 5 days.  That doesn’t sound fast but I still had to feed everyone and do some house work, so I am pretty pleased with myself!

    It has put me in [...]

    They were both knitted on a circular needle. The green and white one is a Large and has a rolled brim. The smaller one is a Small and has about 4″ of rib at the [...]

    Aran Coat Progress

    Shirley | July 10, 2008

    I had wanted to put up photos of the back and fronts of the Aran Coat that I am knitting but they were too big to take a decent photo of so I have taken a photo of the first sleeve instead.
    I am now about half way through the second sleeve. I [...]

    Another Gents Aran Jumper

    Shirley | July 4, 2008

    This is my latest FO.
    It is a gents 42″ Aran Jumper.
    I am hoping that I will be able to do some craft fairs this year, but I haven’t booked any yet as I don’t know if I will have either enough stock or transport to get me there.
    My other half, David, has started his own [...]
