CHILD'S WRIST WARMER'S

Question from my wee lassie
"How long will it take you to make wristwarmers?"
My answer "a couple of hours" Why?
Her answer "I want them and knit them in blue".......
So here they are to fit an 8 year old, and she's off to school with them today.....
a smaller version of my rio wrist warmer's....

Hebridean Peatcutters

Amazing what they do for charity, some great photos on their blog. Do go across and see a spot of what happens on the Isle of Lewis. I just wish my back was good enough to go peat cutting, I always skived off school to go out to cut the peats for winter fuel with my mum, dad, grans and grandpas.. Great memories.

HARRIS TWEED BAG AND HARIS TWEED REMNANTS

this is the remnant bag of harris tweed, well one of them anyway, approx 900g in total for this one and a good selection of colours.
And this here is the Harris Tweed Shopper Tote Bag at £9.99 plus postage.. And I will post worldwide, If you don't do Ebay and would like to buy just drop me a wee email. HTTP://SHOP.EBAY.CO.UK/MERCHANT/MYBLUEROOF

I've had another wee clearout, 2 remnant bags of Harris Tweed listed last night and a couple of Harris Tweed Shopper Tote Bags. I'll end the listing as soon as it (hopefully) gets a bid.



TOP DOWN BABY CARDIGAN PATTERN

You will be working from the neck down, this photo shows the markers in place.
2nd photo is where you need to cast on for the neck shaping.
3rd photo, I have taken my markers out as I have knitted many of these, but if you are new to this way leave your markers in place.
And we have finished the sleeve top and are working on the body, again knitted in one piece. I think this is a great way of knitting baby items as there are no seams, so not bulky for baby.
This pattern will be available free on Ravelry once I write it up.

Sweater or Pullover

Now I don't know when I'll finish it as this is going to be my biggish project when I need thicker needles in my hands.
I decided it was time to knit a wee jumper for my 7 year old so I dug this shade of Rio De La Plata Wool out and here is the front piece just at the arms.
I love the way this stripe looks.
More colours will be available via my website
