Adventures of a hand knitter

Peacock Tail and Leaf Scarf

I bought the “Knitted Lace of Estonia” book by Nancy Bush last year and I thought all the patterns seemed to be complicated so I put it to the side and forgot about it for a while.
One day, I had an urge to knit some lace, so I pulled out my two lace books and [...]

Happy New Year!

Today hasn’t been too bad, quite sunny, but a bit windy.
I did manage to get a photo of [...]

Shoulder Shawl – Nearly Finished

I haven’t done the knitted-on border yet either. I did try, but I got all mixed up, so once [...]
