I manage to finish my jacket before christmas and I am very pleased with it :o)
I had my first knitting (or I should say felting) disaster early this year. I knitted this cushion cover:
and after 2 cycles at 60 C in the washing machine it turned out like this:
I am a bit disappointed because you can't see all the details anymore, the colors are kind of blend together :o(Anyway, if you look from the distance it is not too bad so it might become a cushion cover, I have to ask the recipient if she likes it...
I am knitting a lot of things at the moment but I can't show you just now. I am taking part in a swap again and this time the theme is "tea cosy". The deadline is end of February...
In the meantime I can show you my latest acquisitions:
Some yummy Malabrigo lace yarn and Sandyhaven from Cariad (on the left) (bought here).
That malabrigo is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love your sweater, very pretty color too. Ooh all that gorgeous yarn. Pity about the cushion cover, perhaps you could turn it into some sort of a bag.
