I have some buttons. Aren't they great? My friend Polly
made them for me.
November 2003 Archives
As promised here are some photos of what I have been up to recently - apart from working that is!!!
Debbie Bliss reversible bag from book 6. This is knitted in Debbie Bliss merino aran. For the outer bag I used green and for the inner bag pink. It was done on 6.5mm and 7mm needles so knitted up really quickly. I sometimes take my daily supply of fruit to work in it and it sits on my desk. People in the office can't believe I knitted it especially with the 2 colours.

Here is the ribbed cushion I mentioned.

I took this pattern from Debbie Bliss's website. Again another quick knit in Debbie Bliss merino chunky on 6.5 mm needles
Elfin
I have taken a photo of sleeve number 1 so that you can see the frills.

I need to do the frills for sleeve number 2 and then it will be a huge deep breath before I undertake the frills for the front - how many stitches in kidsilk haze?
Party Purses
Back in October Kristine Webster of - Digital Yarn was over in the UK and I along with some fellow rowanettes met up with her one Thursday afternoon in The Art Bar Cafe at Libertys. Kristine very kindly gave me the yarn and pattern to make a party purse from fiber trends.
The body is knitted in Lamb's Pride and the novelty yarn around the top is eyelash. It is knitted on 9mm needles.
What a better way to spend a Saturday than knitting the purse and drinking coffee and that is exactly what I did.
This is a picture of it before it is felted.

A photo of the finished item will appear shortly!
Ideal for the party season.
And now for my knititng chair - an early christmas present and I love it, it is so comfy and I could spend all day sat in it with a pair of needles knitting away.

Some of you may know that back in the summer I knitted a throw in Jaeger Odessa to wear over a dress to Goodwood races - well here is a photo of it for those of you who haven't seen it.

I hope you have enjoyed my resume - away to knit!!
Dear All
Despite being absent I have been busy on the knitting front.
I have finished the back, 2 fronts and 1 sleeve of Elfin. Once the frills are done for the second sleeve that will knit up in no time and then it is the long frills for the front border. So many stitches in kid silk haze.
I have also knitted the reversible bag from the Debbie Bliss book 6. If you are a visitor to Debbie Bliss's website you may have seen the free pattern for a ribbed cushion taken from her latest book Baby Knits for Beginners. I have knitted one of these too.
Photos will follow at the week-end which may even include a picture of my new knitting chair which is soooooooooooooo................. lovely.
Thank-you all for visiting me. I shall be back - I promise.
