Finally, I have something finished that I can show you. The first is my Ravi Junior, designed by Carol Feller, which I made for my show stand so that folk can see the sort of fabric that you get from using the sport weight yarn. I made the smallest size and it took 140g of the sport weight yarn.
I really love this little cardie. I asked my friend, Chris, from A Fine Yarn in Darlington if she had some suitable buttons, and she sent me these little bluebirds.
I apologise for the poor photographs, but I didn't have a 6month old to hand to use as a model. Where is your great niece when you need her?
Also finished this week was Snawheid, designed by Kate Davies. Now I am not modelling this as I really do not suit beanies and I only wear them in the privacy of my own dye shed. So you'll have to make do with the photo's I took this evening.
I was rather concerned while knitting this that there was absolutely no chance of it fitting me as I have a rather large head, but after blocking (with plastic bags) it actually fits me rather well. I'm not saying it suits me, but it fits me. The top is so pretty:
I knitted this using the 100% bluefaced leicester in poppy and ecru.
Progress on Talamh is slow, but only because I have had a stack of custom orders to dye and haven't had much knitting time. But so far it has been pretty plain sailing, once I remembered the front of the stitch from the back when doing the waffle stitch patter!:
