I finished my scarf - I reworked the edging - reduced the length - changed cool grey to a warm grey and it made all the difference - I have the pattern for the scarf if you are interested - the flower and the edging are all the same pattern very simple.
I added pearl buttons and some sparkle buttons just for a bit of glitz.
I made some bedsocks from an old jumper.. I used the rib edging of the sleeves and the hem for the top of the socks - I got 3 pairs from the one jumper - I have photos and a pattern if you would like to know more - they are sooo warm
mmmmm what else have I made - well a bit boring but I needed one - washing bag for my bras - I know I can hear you all going OMG - well - sorry but I hate wasting money on things like that when I could be picking up some buttons or something else - here goes - I have photos and a pattern for this also - my design worked well in the wash (button attached to elastic) - the only thing I will do next time is make the netting stronger -
I am on a roll so I will be posting again soon . Remember if you would like any information on the construction of any projects just let me know.

The scarf is beautiful! Oh and I love the socks too - those colours are wonderful together.
ReplyDeleteHi its Marcia! on Tom's acnt. I love the scarf and would like to give it a try.If you want a knit challenge check out the pattern for a doctor's/weekender type bag in a knitting book;"Knit 2 Together"by Tracey Ullman.Sounds like Canberra in winter agrees with you!
ReplyDeleteHi Marcia, Nice to hear from you - i'm not working at the moment I think that agrees with me :)
ReplyDeleteThe scarf's nice isn't it - like wearing warm jewellery - i'll get the pattern to you - thanks for the weekender bag idea - i will look out for it x
