Well, so much for good intentions!

Have to report that my sort of resolution to use up my stash went spectacularly out the window this afternoon. Ah well :)

I bought the Rown Lace book, and 5 balls of their rather lovely lace wool to knit a wrap from the book.

This one, the Glorious Wrap

Sigh and lol

First off the needles in 2012

Nice and easy, simple fingerless gloves as part of a rpesent for a special friend :)

The wool is Bergere du Nord, first time I've knitted with it; found it nice to knit with, although it does contain acrylic, but I think mans' glvoes need to be washed easily, so thought this would be fine. I like the one row contrast at the cuff, sets them off well I think.

Knitted partridge

From The Twelve Knits of Christmas book, and yes, he does have a pear tree to go with him lol

Funny card

Love this, got it this morning , makes me smile

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.
