Funny card

Vintage bunny

A friend of Bean's is having a baby, and wanted a bunny toy like the ones she's been knitting, so I was asked to step in and help with bunny prouduction. Nice project, the vintage toys are well constructed, pattern-wise, enjoyed doing this in a day or so. Might do some more!

Solstice hat

Ex wanted it, so I knitted it lol

Hugh's jumper

I was commissioned to knit a jumper in the style of the one that Hugh FW has been wearing recently in his TV series

This is the one, you can see the top of it here - a plain sleeveless jumper, but knitted in beautiful wool, possibly dyed with natural dyes - it has that air about it and I love it.
This is my version, soon to be en route to my customer:

Worked in Manx Loughtan wool, produced organically here in Dorset, just up the raod from me. I used a truly vintage pattern, and am delighted, and I think it will become one of my standby patterns and get a lot of use - very versatile, lending itself ot all sorts of variations, colour and pattern wise.

On the needles right now

Various things are, but this is what I'm working on at the moment- a sleeveless jumper ( think HFW) in the lovely brown Manx Loaghtan organic wool I bought a couple of years ago at Dorchester show - produced only a few miles away from my home. It's a commission for a forum friend, easy to knit, so can do it while waiting for my turn on  Scrabble etc. Have knitted other things, but don't seem to have managed to link them up with the camera and blog, must try harder lol

I've just bought and printed off the pattern for Tiny Owl's Beekeeper quilt too, so would like to make a start on that as a new pick up and  put donw project, ideal for travelling too. I'm sure I can find some bits to use for it!

Another rare breed hat!

North Ronaldsay hat for a friend. I hope to get a post/some posts up here on rare breeds soon, and a pet project of mine concerning them - watch this space.
