I'm in The Green Parent, again!!!


The lovely Nic texted me today to say she'd seen my woollies in The Green Parent again...and then she sent this pic over to me!!! I've included a picture of the original woollies, which are now owned by Nyree Dawn of Bums and Roses
They look great, and of course, they are number 1..... **grins** hehehehe

Double Frill Crops


I am so please with how these have turned out.... I've never tried doing a double frill on the leg cuffs before!!! They are a little heavier than a standard pair of crops, because of the extra yarn used...but that will help with the drape :) I used DK for this very reason....a double cuff on an aran pair would have made them very heavy.
I had 100g of Merino/Alpaca DK in ivory, and the same again in pink.....and I dyed them both identically and then changed colour, throughout the garment, every 9 rows. This helps avoid pooling, and just generally makes the colour scheme a little more interesting :)

Purple Patch :)


This is a pair of Large cropped Longies, made from 50% Alpaca - 50% Merino, one of my two custom orders for March. I had so much fun making these, especially the leg cuff :)

These are the other March custom order. For a returning customer, whos' daughter loved her first pair of ribbies so much, she refuses to wear anything else....so she needs a pair to use in rotation :) I love these, they are so vibrant.....
