Knitty Spring
Knitty is funny like that. Some issues just pass me by completely, with nothing tempting me to cast on and then sometimes, like the latest Spring issue, there are 4! Yosemite, Honeycomb and Marjorie are all quite fitted knits with enough detailing to keep me interested, Lace Ribbon a great little project to use single ...
Clapotis and Misty Garden scarves
Just a gratuitous scarf shot – neither are finished but hey, I hadn’t posted anything for a while… :) The Clap you know, and the other one is a varient of Misty Garden from Scarf Style. It’s a mixture of some Alpaca my SP sent me in the summer and some Be Sweet boucle mohair… ...

Last minute Christmas presents!
Well, I am cheating a bit because these don’t have to be finished until the 29th… But the Mrs Beeton wristwarmers were a great surprise in the latest issue of the mag. Having, only a week before, understood how to put beads onto yarn before knitting and also seeing some Norweigan wristwarmers that were beautiful, ...
