Arm twisting........

A customer emailed me to ask if I'd come out of the Woolly Wilderness just one last time......
I am rather pleased with the results......

Some Woolly content as well....

This is the first pair of pants I've knit for a while, in the "Sophie" colourway.....leg trims are cashmerino...
I think these turned out really well, I think the waistband, frills and pockets all in white make them look ever so pretty and girly :)

I have two more custom pairs of Longies to do, and then I am going to take a 6 month break. I am worn out from knitting woollies....I've been doing it for nearly 3 years now!!! I SO want to knit for myself and my family more. I think a 6 month break is called for....

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

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**

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 :)

Another Rose Garden combo :)




These seem to have taken forever, mainly because right from the off I've never thought the customer will like them.....
I love them though, they've turned out beautifully, and made all the better for having a little touch of Mrs Flowerpot on them :) She sent me the crocheted flowers ages ago, and I hunted high and low for them to make this set look extra special :D
