Adventures of a hand knitter

Basic Chic Pulli - Finished

I managed to finish my jumper. I ended up having to do the neckband flat rather than in the round because I didn’t have a circular needle short enough or dpns long enough.
I am not sure if I like the way it is lying but at least I will have another jumper to […]

Baby Shawl - Finished

I started knitting this shawl just under two weeks ago. It is knitted in 4 ply yarn and on 4mm and 5mm circular needles.
The worst part of this shawl, was doing the edging. I had to work my way through more than 700 stitches, using 8 every 16 row repeat.

Never mind though, I will use the bag to store some of my yarn.
It has put me […]

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 […]

Another Gents Aran Jumper

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 […]
