BABY CARDIGAN IN SOCK YARN

This is what's is on my knitting needles today, Another of my version of top down baby cardigan, I'm just finishing the front button band, then the collar and sleeves to do. I used my own hand dyed sock yarn for this so it's a blend of 75% wool/25% nylon so is machine washable.
this photo is to show the inside of the cardigan. when I'm ready it will also go on my website.

HARRIS TWEED ZIPPED PURSES

Oh and I almost for got that I did a few Harris Tweed purses last week, just to use up the stash of Harris Tweed I cut out. When I'm in the mood I shall do some more.

LOTS OF KNITTING

I may have been quiet over the last few days but that is due to a nasty cold that takes ages to go, but now on the mend, spent a few days on the sofa under the duvet. Very cosy...

But I did manage to get some knitting done, I cannot be without my knitting needles so here are a few finished pieces. I knitted 2 pairs of wrist warmers using hand dyed wool from Uruguay, oh so cosy.. And I can show you my hat, the one that is published here

I've been lucky that I've been asked for another pattern to be submitted so am working on that but the patterns all look great, so you will have to pop along, and they are written in English and Japanese which is so cool...Thank you Cassie.......I'm really excited.

And I knitted this one up as well, I really like the colours in this slouchy hat...

And the things that I did not photograph went to Bethesda Hospice in Stornoway for them to sell to raise funds for the Hospice. I sent fingerless gloves, Harris Tweed Bags, Knitted Scarves, Socks and Nina's Bags, so I hope that DR (fundraise manager) will have some sales. I can't believe that I did not take pics......The next time I'll remember as I did promise to knit some more and will also send another couple of Harris Tweed Bags up there.
That's all for now folks.......
