For Maple

I also finished another sweater yesterday. This is a quick basic top down raglan, knitted on size 2.25mm needles in a cashmere blend wool. The colour is a pretty royal blue with flecks of dark red and green. I washed it and it is so, so soft.

Autumn Colours

This has always been a favourite look - matching jumper and woolly tights. The outfit is 60's based, from a Daisy & Willow doll.

adapted from a Dollswest pattern.

I'm using J&S 2-ply lace-weight Shetland, on size 1.5mm needles.
I started this at the end of March and have found it slow going, especially the cable parts in dark wool on tiny needles.
But I'm on the home straight now, I love joining sleeves to the yoke and doing raglan decreasing.
