GOT MY HIYA HIYA DPNS

I love my Hiya Hiya steel needles, and bought these from

www.missbabs.comShe was ever so helpful, went out of her way to order these for me as she did not have them in stock, I bought 2 x 2mm and 2 x 3mm as I want to build up my stash of needles. They are so comfortable to knit with.

Very reasonable price and shipping from the USA.

Pop by to her webstore and have a look.

Calana Crafts Seascape Sock Yarn Baby Cardigan

For anyone wanting to know what my hand dyed seascape sock yarn looks like then here it is, I started this on the way across the ferry to Uig on the mainland on Monday morning, This was my car knitting, As you can see it is a baby cardigan, there will be enough yarn to make a pair of socks after I finish this, perhaps even a beanie hat. It is knitted from the neck down, so no seams which I think is good for a wee baby. the first photo shows the back of the cardigan.And this is the front. I just cast on the stitches round the neck and split them for front, sleeve, neck, slleve and front again, then work in stocking stitch increasing every 2nd row until I think it looks big enough. One day I shall write it down.
More of my hand dyed wool added to the website and available to buy.
