Brown!

I have had a love of brown knitwear ever since I was at school. I was always sorry that our school uniform wasn't brown, though perhaps if it was then I wouldn't be so passionate about the colour now!
I remember a friend had a lovely nut-brown cable cardigan, I was so envious.

And so when I come across pictures of brown jumpers and cardigans, I stop and stare and adore.




I came across this little set today - made by megipupu. It is delightful and I also like the browns and blues in the patchwork background.



This is also fab with the cables and I like the dark brown with the flowers and the deep rust hair.

Heathery goodness

Not my photo - I came across this in Flickr. Made me stop.

Such gorgeous colours in this knitted jumper - heathers and mauves and burgundy and greys and it looks fabulous teamed with the tweed trousers. Beautiful colours.

Musedoll sweater



I love this Musedoll sweater and hope to find it on the secondary market one day. It looks so good on a Zero!

Hoodie again.

Now I've seen it modelled on Ann Estelle, it should fit a Petite perfectly.

Inspirational.



I'm trying to work out if this top has been made from a sock. The hem looks a bit fluffy/woolly. If so, it's a simple and effective idea.

This is so cute. And I think Petite size.

Ah, memory lane!

This is such a cute look, I love the dusty pink wrap cardigan with the paisley print skirt, so seventies.

Pretty waistcoat & fairisle


These are quite pretty. (Dollswest patterns). I wonder how the waistcoat would look in black and in a thicker yarn....

Oatmeal

Another favourite jumper and hand-knitted by Gill. It's so fine and was originally made for a Tyler fashion doll but Narae have slim hands and the sleeves just about fit.

scottie's new sweater

I was so pleased at finishing the Twins' jumpers that I made another one for Scottie. This one only took me 2 days! It's slightly shorter and is just Scottie's colour.

reveal sweater for Rime

reveal sweater for Rime

I used Rowan LWDT in Oatmeal on size 2mm needles. I wanted it to look chunky. The cables aren't quite what I wanted, not enough twists and tooooo chunky. I need to revise that bit but overall I'm pleased with how the sweater looks on Rime.
