Blossom fair-isle finished

Finished the Blossom fairisle for Kathryn. (Now I can open my Momoko!)
I'm really pleased with this colourway.

Tapestry Leaf

I wanted a Victorian feel to this fair-isle - I have used this pattern before when I used to design human sweaters. I like the curling leaves.
A friend wants a Victorian feel cardigan so I'm hoping this will work. I don't know yet whether to try it on a yoke or whether it would look better as a band.

The hat is sized for a Dollstown 7 ball jointed doll but Tuesday stepped in to model it for me.

Snowflake

Snowflake sweater in a lovely bilberry shade (urchin) and limey green (green tea).
Sized for a Dollstown 7 doll - tried it on Tuppence and it looks kinda like a boyfriend jumper on her but I'd rather see it on a Dollstown!

Intricate and Icelandic

I love this pattern by Becky Colvin.






I love knitting but do procastinate over the finishing! But once I get started I really enjoy it.


Sewing up!

Intricate and Icelandic


My two Unoas have new sweaters.
I used a Becky Colvin pattern sized for Lark and Wren - "Intricate and Icelandic" - kept the same stitches, made length to fit unoa, added a fairisle border to the body and sleeves. Knit Pick Palette Peruvian wool.

Started knitting with my new Knit Picks Palette and I am loving it!
I am making two cardigans from Becky Colvin's "Verstile and Variegated" pattern (the blue and the almond) and the cranberry one is Dollswest pattern again.
