A while ago, and I mean a while ago I bought a Rowan knitting kit. I started it when I bought the kit but it has been safely kept in a knitting bag since. Sadly I have misplaced the pattern, I thought it was in the bag with the knitting but it isn't.
Here is a picture of what I have done. Can anyone help me out with the pattern please?
Help! - what pattern is this?
You may recall I knitted a party purse with Lambs Pride and eyelash novelty yarn. This was my first attempt at felting but it seems that my husband is better at the felting process than I am!
I put it in the washer twice with a couple of pairs of jeans but sadly nothing happened.
So I went off to work one day and when I came home this was waiting for me.

Well I have finished the back and front.
I have cast on the first sleeve so wearing it Christmas Day is still looking possible.
This Debbie Bliss merino chunky really does knit up fast so if anyone is looking for a quick knit I would recommend it.
Merry Christmas everyone!
It has been a long few weeks but plenty of festivity and I am very much looking forward to my christmas break.
So where am I with my knitting?
Elfin is progressing well - the second sleeve is half done. I managed to knit the 3 frills last Saturday and once you get past those it grows quite quickly.
I don't think I have mentioned my red jumper I thought I ought to have for christmas. I am doing the Debbie Bliss sweater with cable raglans from book 4. It is knitted in Debbie Bliss merino chunky and I am using shade 700 which is a red. I am still hoping to wear it on christmas day and am optimistic that it is a possibility.
I have done the back and am on to the main body of the front. The back took me a couple of evenings so if I finish the front tonight and tomorrow. I have Sunday and Monday to knit 2 sleeves and Tuesday to sew it up.
In between I still have cards to write and presents to wrap but hey one gets there in the end!
For those that have visited Polly you will understand what I mean if I say Pollymade me do it!
You may recall my trip to Ali Pali where I bought some beautiful bamboo yarn. It has stayed wrapped in the bag since but this week I got chatting to Polly about shawls and we looked at lots of patterns and I thought mmmmmm I could do a shawl with my bamboo. Well I think Polly had cast on and was on her way before I had even printed off the pattern.
Anyway joking apart it will be fun. I love the peace shawl and I love my bamboo yarn so hopefully I shall love the end result!
Not sure when I will start - perhaps over the christmas break!
