Blueberry Angora Jumper


I have been knitting a jumper for my DH in Blueberry Angora DK its a wonderful rich red called Indian Summer. It was all going beautifully until he tried it on and I realised it could do with being another inch longer :-( so i have re-knitted the rib and one pattern repeat and have taken off the old rib and I am grafting the new rib back on. I have almost completed the front.

Back to updating again :-D

Well my daughter is now 14 months and is a right little charmer and my son is 3.5 years old. So I thought it was time that I started updating the Blog again.
I have a lovely "wee peggy" spinning wheel and have been busy getting projects finished off so that I can have a play.

Socks

Using the Opal sock pattern I have finished the socks for DH and just need to wash and block them. I do love the Cherry Tree Hill sock yarn - it has a lovely feel and makes up beautiful socks.

Finished Emma's Anice

Well I have managed to finish Emma's Anice and she has tried it with her wedding dress and it looks wonderful. Will stick a picture in the gallery to show the finished article.

Emmas Anice Shawl

Well I have finished the 5th pattern repeat and started threading the blocking wires on to do a provisional blocking so that Emma can try it with her wedding dress next Saturday 23 June. I think that with the blocking 5 pattern repeats will be enough as the yarn is quite stretchy. Will try and get a pic of shawl with the dress :-D

Finished projects.....

Clapotis in Lorna Laces Shepherd sport - Flames (In exchange for a friend doing my family tree)

Anice's

Having finished the Clapotis I am back working on the Anices.
Cream - Managed to get up to row 25 of the central pattern only to find that I have made a mistake so I will be frogging it back to row 20 (lifeline) so that I can get it all lined up again.
Sable - Finished row 30 of the central pattern.
Bear in mind that there is 60 rows to the pattern repeat and 6 of them to do! and then the last border :-D So there is a fair bit to go - will post some pics later....
