Drift On By

At long last, the Ocean Drift roving is all spun up and skeined.

A pretty yarn, very silky and with much drape.

Project details and photographs.

Fo: Not so Flashy

Named “Not so Flashy” for the flashes of colour in the yarn – the violet and cobalt on black reminded me very much of a portion of the Eighties which I would far rather forget

Fo: Smooshypu socks

Pair of Francie socks in Dream in Color’s “Smooshy” yarn.

Details and gallery.

FO: Girasole Shawl

My first circular shawl. This was intended to be a practice run, in preparation for a blanket-sized version later.

This pattern is very simple to knit and suitable for the relatively novice lace knitter. The beauty of the piece arises from its geometry and simplicity.

FO: Echoes of Eden

Pair of 4ply fingerless mittens for PIF recipient. Knitted in a lambswool and silk blend in a fabulous turquoise shade incorporating tweedy flecks of green and violet. I started these in February, by knitting the leaf edging, then put the project away to enable concentration on other more pressing projects. I picked them up again …

FO:Alpine Butternut

Super-luxurious and chunky Butternut Scarf, made in Rowan Cocoon. Enabled by a very generous RAK.
