Latest project

Well here is my latest project - after all the knitting before Christmas, this is a bit of fun for me.
Bad news at the moment it is taking about 20 minutes to knit 1 row - but as there are currently 590 sts on the needle I suppose that is not too bad!
Good news it is a top down cardigan - my first attempt at this construction method. So far I am enjoying it, apart from the length of the rows.

Alpaca cowl

A pattern from ravelry - I will post a link to it later. A nice basic 9 st x 6 row lace pattern. I am knitting it in Godshill Park Farm 4ply Alpaca, it is beautifully soft and I am hoping to finish before the snow disappears completely.

Christmas crochet

Just a bit of basic crochet for the holidays - a blanket for Pam and a chair square for the cats. Just used cheap acrylic Aran but it came up lovely.

Can you tell what it is yet?

My first post on this blog - a bit strange as I know I am only writing to myself as yet!

 

The images below are from my latest scarf design it will need some tweeks before it is ready for publishing. I am using Noro Sekku yarn and at the moment it looks as if I will be able to ammend the pattern so it can be knitted from one ball.
