HatsHatsHats!!!

I've got a small knitting window, between custom orders, and have been itching to knit up my "Spunky Mama" 3 ply.....

So, I decided I needed a new Cable Twist beanie, as I gave the other one away...

Then I was flicking through Woollywormhead's new eBook, Wee Woolly Toppers and saw Tubey and fell in love with it, instantly :) I had enough handspun left, so I cast it on yesterday. As I was nearing the end, i remembered the kids saying I wasn't allowed to make myself a Jester HAt, so I put some Jester hat increases into the last stockingette pattern repeat, and Voila.....I have a Tubey Jester!!!

So here endeth the interesting knitterly content, for now......

Ho Hum.....

Latest handspun-ness...hmmm...yummerOOnie =:o)

This one is 3 ply, a variegated single made of 100g of merino silk, and two others, a black merino and a bottle green merino. I am so pleased with it :)


This is the yarn I made for the UK Spinners swap. Its a single of Cashmerino from Spunky Eclectic, and two other merino singles, one black and one space spun in three different shades of pink :D

Inspiration



This is not a new colourway, but it is a newly revisted one :) I was wandering around in my pyjamas this morning in the garden, and came across this beautiful flower.....no idea what its called, as it was from a random packet of seeds the kids planted up ;) It is such an intense colour....I had to try and replicate it, and I am quite pleased with the result!!!

Knitterly content :)

There's been a severe lack of knitterly content over the last month hasn't there, its all been about shameless self promotion :D

Here's some custom woollies I have finished over the last week or so.....yeah I know.....nothing for me.... **sighs**
