Almost there

it is coming along well!

Luisa

This was a Christmas gift for a friend of mine. I got a chance to photograph it just now
the pattern is from The knitted odd-bodd bunch by Donna Wilson, but I modified it to make it completely in one piece, the pattern suggests to knit it flat and seam together.


She is such a cutie, named after my friend's sausage dog, that sadly died few years ago. She's been wanting a another sausage dog ever since.

Winter thaw shawl

I'm working on a triangular shawl, using my silk/merino lace in Winter thaw colourway. It is my design and the name is a work in progress :) I'm really happy with the colour, it will match all my mostly gray clothes but it's not completely neutral. Also I don't think I own anything green, so it will be a nice change...

I tried part blocking it, so the stitches show better. Fairly tricky operation!

Here it is in it's unblocked puckery glory

The stitch patterns I chose are very organic - it reminds me of leaves and the next section, which is not shown in these pics looks sort of like feathers. I'm still unsure about the edging though.

The patter should be avilable soon and it will be free.

Kaffe Fasset sock mark II

Another lovely colourway by Kaffe Fasset for Regia. I like the yarn, even though it feels a bit plasticky. It's comfy to wear.

more handspun

I spun each of this and this rovings into singles

and then I plied it together into aran/bulky two ply yarn. Such a quick and fun project.

I have two skeins, each around 100g. It's funny how the first skein looks mauve and brown and the second skein is blue-ish... even though the singles look green and purple.
