Project update

As promised, some news and photos. I've now finished the Froth scarf that I got free with my Rowan Club membership. It came out really nicely, and I like the frill edge, shall do that again. The Kidsilk Haze is a nice yarn, though does tend to shed a bit.


As promised, this is the Big Wool Fusion jacket I did (complete with inquisitive kitty!). It knitted up really quickly, which was great and it is beautifully warm. I just need to find some buttons to go with it. Any suggestions of where to get big enough buttons would be gratefully received (the cardi is knitted with 15mm needles, so the buttonholes are pretty big)

This poncho was the first thing I'd knitted for myself for years and years, which I finished in October. It was from some balls of hot pink DK given to me by my best friend's mother. The poncho is really simple, two rectangle sewn together, and I shall use the pattern again, though this time making the rectangles slightly wider, so it doesn't gape so much at the neck. I love this poncho though, I wear it loads. It's great in the autumn, and I love people complimenting it, and I can say "thanks, I made it myself!"

So now, I have to finish the Debbie Bliss coat - only one sleeve and the collar to go. Then I've got wool for a very sweet herringbone skirt, and some beautiful colinette yarn (point 5) that I shall knit into a looped scarf. Then I shall treat myself to one of the new Kim Hargreaves designs - probably Fay.

Shame I have to work really...I'd much prefer to be at home knitting! Obsessive, me?!
