Two years ago I took part in an International Yarn Swap on Ravelry and received a lovely package from Norway.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7968838@N05/4344470302/" title="International Swap from Norway by Fizz14, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4054/4344470302_9ab56a8c95_m.jpg" alt="International Swap from Norway" height="180" width="240" /></a><br /></div><br />The hat pattern is a traditional Norwegian design and there was enough yarn to make two hats, one for each of my twins. I quickly cast on and completed the knitting of one very quickly. Then it sat and the bottom of my knitting bag, unsewn and not felted.<br /><br />My New Years Resolution is to finish off any WIPs before I start any new ones, so this was an easy one to finish off as no knitting was required. After sewing it looked like this<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7968838@N05/6634266723/" title="Norway Hat 2 by Fizz14, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7018/6634266723_ed98a5226c_m.jpg" alt="Norway Hat 2" height="180" width="240" /></a><br /></div><br />After washing in the machine on a 60 minute, 40 degree wash with a pair of jeans for company, shaped and left to dry overnight it looks like this:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7968838@N05/6686046693/" title="Norway Elf Hat 2 by Fizz14, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7158/6686046693_e87e88da59_m.jpg" alt="Norway Elf Hat 2" height="240" width="180" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7968838@N05/6686044801/" title="Norway Elf Hat1 by Fizz14, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7020/6686044801_de8cf80f56_m.jpg" alt="Norway Elf Hat1" height="240" width="180" /></a><br /></div><br />She loves it!<br /><br />I feel a sense of acheivement as another item is complete, and I also remembered how much fun these swaps can be so I've signed up for the next one!Fizz14http://www.blogger.com/profile/13903826075784937303noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845638.post-30508731758655311432012-01-05T21:49:00.002+00:002012-01-05T22:10:41.446+00:00FeltingSo here is my second attempt at posting this, after yesterdays disaster.<br /><br />I have always been intrigued by felting. The thought of putting hours of work into knitting something to then throw it in the washing machine and cross your fingers that it will work out terrified me at first. The finished effect, when successful, is very pretty though.<br /><br />My one previous attempt years ago to make a felted bag didn't work too well. It was knitted in Twilleys Freedom Spirit. Here it is before felting -<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/Knitting/5c03e221.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 427px; height: 640px;" src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/Knitting/5c03e221.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>and after<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/Knitting/IMG_0542.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 427px;" src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/Knitting/IMG_0542.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I can't even tell you where it is now.<br /><br />So I was surprised when I found myself drawn towards a felted bag pattern in an issue of Simply Knitting Magazine last summer. Calling for 5 balls of Twilleys Freedom Spirit, I somehow got confused and bought 5 balls of Rowan Felted Tweed, but thought,"Well, its the same DK weight, should be fine". After months I cast on and was really surprised at how quickly it was knitting up, and how little of the wool I was getting through. I consulted the Oracle (<a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.ravelry.com">Ravelry</a>) to discover the printed instructions were wrong and it should have read Twilleys Freedom Spirit CHUNKY. I had no clue such a yarn even existed.<br /><br />I was at the point where I felt I had gone to far to rip it all back but was reluctant to continue if it was going to be a mess. Something in me decided to keep going so I did, then began to worry that the Felted Tweed wouldn't felt. Even searching on Ravelry didn't ease my concern, there were no felted projects using the yarn which I could find.<br /><br />So I finished it off, sewed it up and it looked like this -<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7968838@N05/6634265529/" title="Bag Pre Felting by Fizz14, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7012/6634265529_b3778ba69a_m.jpg" alt="Bag Pre Felting" height="180" width="240" /></a><br /><br />I put it in the machine on a short 40 degree wash. It didn't do much. So then I put it on a 60 degree 60 minute wash. With a pair of jeans in for good measure.<br /><br />And how did it turn out? Tune in next time..........Fizz14http://www.blogger.com/profile/13903826075784937303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845638.post-41946956337281837722012-01-04T22:04:00.002+00:002012-01-04T22:07:45.341+00:00AAAARGH!Promised myself I was going to blog every day.<div><br /></div><div>I just sat and spent 20 minutes composing a post.</div><div><br /></div><div>Went to sort out the pictures and this stupid mouse side swiped and went back to the previous page.

Though I haven't yet thrown away very much I have came across a number of unfinished projects that I have vowed to finish before I begin anything new. They are.....<br /><br />1) Fingerless gloves in Rico Poems. One is complete but not sewn up, have yet to start the other.<br /><br />2) Kids hat which needs sewn up and felted. The wool and pattern were given to me as part of an international swap on Ravelry and came all the way from Norway, it's a traditional design and I hope it still fits one of my twins once it's felted!<br /><br />3) A knitted tunic dress, which I started for my older daughter in <span style="font-weight: bold;">2007</span>! I got fed up as the pattern was confusing me but I reckon I could work it out now, just in time for my younger daughter to fit into it.<br /><br />4) A garter stitch shawl, which again I acquired through an international swap. This time from the USA, the poor shawl has been finished for ages waiting for the ends to be woven in and blocked.<br /><br />I also have a Baby Surprise Jacket waiting on buttons, a baby cardigan waiting on snap fasteners and a felted handbag which is drying as I speak then will need a fastener.<br /><br />So....lots to be getting on with before I embark on some new projects, of which there are many bubbling away. Like many other knitters at this time of year I am intending to not buy any more yarn this year until I use up that which I already own. But we shall see.Fizz14http://www.blogger.com/profile/13903826075784937303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845638.post-30237782008001139822009-07-02T10:41:00.002+00:002009-07-02T15:16:24.699+00:00Jolly June Swap<p class="flickr-frame" align="center"><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7968838@N05/3681473184/"><img class="flickr-photo" height="289" alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2614/3681473184_7b097f1288.jpg" width="452" /></a></p><div class="flickr-frame"><br /><span class="flickr-caption"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7968838@N05/3681473184/">IMG_0999</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/7968838@N05/">Fizz14</a>.</span></div><p class="flickr-yourcomment">As part of the UK Random Acts of Kindness group on Ravelry, I received a parcel today from Maddy18 containing a cheeky chimp face pack, tiger pencil, ladybird keyring, monkey stitch markers, some sweety teeth & lips, 100g of gorgeous purple Bamboo cotton and best of all a handmade chimp lavender bag.<br /><br />It is a bit bizarre receiving presents from someone you dont know or have never met but it's lovely at the same time.

It's a wee bit of a pain as I tend to use photobucket. And you have to make sure your pictures are marked as public on Flickr or it can't load them up.<br /><br />But apart from those minor things it looks like a great resource.

A combination of not taking photos, can't be bothered writing and thinking there was nothing to report. However now I have so much to update I'll have to do it in more than one post. Lets look at the latest acquisitions. <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div> </div><div>Having reached my target of losing a stone I went daft buying yarn.

Very quickly I re-assessed that target to one stone, to make it a bit more <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">achievable</span>. Which is just as well as it's taken me THREE MONTHS to lose my first stone. This last week I have had a bit of help as I enrolled in a trial programme at my local pharmacy, which involves going each week for five weeks, then fortnightly for the next ten. Lots of healthy eating advice and NO DIETS. I had my weigh-in this morning and had lost 3 kilograms which takes me nicely to my target.<br /><br />So pass the credit card till I get me some yarn.......not quite. I have decided to wait till after my weigh-in next week to see that I have maintained the loss before allowing myself to make any purchases. It'll give me time to have a browse through my patterns and decided what i want to make next.Fizz14http://www.blogger.com/profile/13903826075784937303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845638.post-17534612047557232072007-06-14T15:45:00.000+00:002007-06-14T16:03:02.648+00:00Knitting Lace CourseI went along last weekend to a Knitting Lace course at <a href="http://www.twistfibrecraft.co.uk/">Twist Fibre Craft Studio</a>, Newburgh, Fife.<br /><br />I've never been to a knitting course or lesson before, I learned the basics from my Mum and Gran when I was wee and have picked up other techniques myself through books and the Internet. So I was feeling a bit apprehensive before going along - what if I was doing it all wrong?<br /><br />There were only 3 of us doing the course which meant we were all able to get a good look at what our tutor was demonstrating. We knitted 3 different lace patterns over the two hours, changing yarn each time. There wasn't huge amounts of chat but when you're knitting lace you really have to concentrate.<br /><br />The most important thing I got out of the course was that all this time I actually was doing it properly. Although I've not attempted any huge pieces of complicated lace, I've knitted lace in lots of patterns over the years, it's just that I didn't think of them as lace. The prospect of tackling a large shawl or stole doesn't faze me now!<br /><br />I would highly recommend this workshop and it's worth going to Newburgh just to have a look in the Twist Fibre Shop. It's not the biggest but it is crammed full of loads of desirable yarn - Rowan, Debbie Bliss, Noro, Opal were the ones that jumped out at me but I'm sure they stock others too.<br /><br />Two of the books I looked at during the workshop are definitely wish list items - <a href="http://www.heirloom-knitting.co.uk/heirloom_knitting.html">Heirloom Knitting</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Victorian-Lace-Today-Jane-Sowerby/dp/1933064072">Victorian Lace Today</a>.

When I got in the car today the temperature indicator said 35 degrees but it had been sitting in the sun. As we moved off it dropped down to 23 degrees but that's still very hot for here. So I feel a bit daft knitting scarves but hey, I'll get ahead of myself for Christmas!<br /><br />This is knitted in cheapo eyelash yarn, which I picked up for £1 a ball in a bookshop last year. I cast on 24 stitches and garter stitched until I ran out of yarn (it took 2 balls).<br /><br /><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/Knitting/IMG_0576.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/Knitting/IMG_0576.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></p>This is the Lace Leaf Scarf from <a href="http://www.knitsimplemag.com/index.php">Knit Simple magazine</a> holiday 2006 issue.

The pattern was meant for a cotton yarn but I am very pleased with how it's turned out. I still have to add some ribbon ties but haven't bought the ribbon yet.

It took less than one ball to make. I do like Blur, I've made DD a hat out of it before. However, it's a nightmare to rip back when you make a mistake and for some reason, although the Bolero is a very straightforward pattern I kept mucking it up and having to take it back. So I'm glad it's done!<br /><br /></div><div>Also - a final picture of my felted bag. Made in <a href="http://www.angelyarns.com/twilleys/yarn.php/yarn/1179">Twilleys Freedom Spirit</a> in colourway 'Force'. I'm quite pleased as it was my first felting effort though the flap-over bit turned in a wee bit and felted to itself round the edges. Hopefully it is cunningly disguised by the frill!</div></div></div>Fizz14http://www.blogger.com/profile/13903826075784937303noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845638.post-76235700035371122592007-05-22T10:08:00.000+00:002007-05-22T10:11:32.616+00:00Will there be enough?So last night I weighed the completed sleeve of the baby wrapover cardigan (16g) and weighed my remaining yarn (24g). Knowing I had enough to make the final sleeve I ploughed on and completed it last night. Now I have 8g of yarn to do the borders, which is basically pick up stitches and cast off. So will I have enough.........?Fizz14http://www.blogger.com/profile/13903826075784937303noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845638.post-81718710513191429462007-05-20T10:57:00.000+00:002007-05-20T11:17:14.309+00:00Monica from KnittyI'm still on my stash diet and have yet to reach my target where I can buy some more yarn, so am still trying to be inventive with what I already have. <div><div><br /><div>I have had 2 balls of <a href="http://www.yarndex.com/yarn.cfm?yarn_id=1991">Katia Jamaica</a> for over a year and I didn't have a clue what to do with them. I started to knit a baby cardigan but it just didn't look right, the colours for me were too old for a baby. Then I saw <a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring07/PATTmonica.html">Monica </a>in the Sping edition of <a href="http://www.knitty.com">Knitty</a> and thought it would be just right.</div><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/IMG_0531.jpg" border="0" />As you can see it's still not quite warm enough to be wearing it without something underneath, particulary on a breezy Scottish morning. The pattern is very simple and knitted up really quickly. I think it's very effective, and there certainly won't be anyone else wearing the same! I intend to make another one once I can buy some yarn, but am thinking of knitting the frill in a lacy pattern.<br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/IMG_0529.jpg" border="0" />I've also completed the wee bolero I'd started in the last post but have yet to take a picture. I'm almost finished the cutest wee baby wrap over cardigan, in Louis Harding Kashmir DK. I still have one sleeve and the borders to do and am worried I won't have enough yarn to complete it. I'll know by the end of the day!</div></div>Fizz14http://www.blogger.com/profile/13903826075784937303noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845638.post-90826230556900416392007-05-10T08:36:00.000+00:002007-05-10T08:51:43.341+00:00Sisters, sisters....My sister has a knitters condition known as 'Love-to-knit-hate-to-sew'. She appeared for a weeks holiday with me with TWO carrier bags of bits of baby cardigans. Most of which I think were destined for my DD at some point, though now that she's nearl 5 only one of those that she managed to complete fitted her.<br /><br />So it was a week of sewing up for her, with a wee trip to buy buttons and some more yarn. She did control herself though and didn't knit too much while she was here.

One pic today, the rest tomorrow!<br /><div></div><br /><div>STASH DIET UPDATE. To date I have lost 12 pounds so am still 2 pounds away from my first stone (14 lbs), the point where I can buy some more yarn. So I am still knitting from stash, which is great for the corner of the bedroom where it is all kept but I am beginning to crave a shopping spree. Hopefully over the next week or so I'll get there.<br /></div><div>I've made a 6-12 month lacy cardigan in Sirdar Snuggly, 2 first size baby boys hat in some unlabelled acrylic stuff, a hat for DD in Jaeger Baby Merino and have almost completed a felted bag in <a href="http://www.twilleys.co.uk/">Twilleys </a>of Stamford Freedom Spirit with the remainder of the yarn I got during the <a href="http://www.knittingforums.co.uk/index.php">Angel Yarns Forum</a> Springtime Secret Santa, from <a href="http://www.hauntedyarns.com/blog/">Bronte</a>.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Here is a pic prior to felting -</div><br /><div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/ee630c2f.jpg" border="0" /></div><br />It measured roughly 12" x 12". I popped it in a pillow case and put it in the machine on a 40 degree 29 minutes wash with a pair of jeans. I wasn't too impressed when it came out so put it all back in again on a 60 degree wash for the same time. I'm much happier with the result so far. Tonight I am going to add the decorative frill, which isn't felted and will post a finished article picture soon. I've never felted anything before so it's all very exciting.Fizz14http://www.blogger.com/profile/13903826075784937303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845638.post-89444780309219918202007-04-04T10:02:00.000+00:002007-04-04T10:12:01.170+00:00Supersoft Aran<a href="http://anotherdilettante.blogspot.com/">Penny </a>asked yesterday what the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Sirdar</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Supersoft</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Aran</span> was like to knit with, as she has a pattern that uses it.

When you're knitting stuff for wee ones though it's ideal as it can be chucked in the machine and not worried about.<br />It knits really well and keeps it's shape - the cabling I did on the baby blanket is really well defined. I wouldn't say it's the softest acrylic I've knitted with, even though it claims to be '<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Supersoft</span>'. I made a hat a while back in the same yarn but it was in grey and blue, and my memory of that yarn is that it was much softer once knitted.Fizz14http://www.blogger.com/profile/13903826075784937303noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845638.post-91653279084223177842007-04-01T16:19:00.000+00:002007-04-01T16:33:55.013+00:00Bits and BobsI have been knitting lots of wee things lately as I am trying to use up my stash and only have one or two balls of each yarn.<br /><div><div><br /><p align="center"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/04ab2659.jpg" border="0" /></p><div align="right"><em>Pram Blanket in Sirdar Supersoft Aran.</em></div><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/141be58a.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/141be58a.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><div><em>2 berets and a pair of pram shoes (which still need buttons) in Sirdar Snuggly Bubbly and plain Snuggly for the borders.

I am not buying anymore yarn until I have lost two stone - which is just a dent in what I have to lose altogether! I have lost four pounds to date so am on the way.<br /><br />So for the foreseeable future I will be knitting from yarn I already have. I have accumulated quite a lot in the last year but don't have substantial quantities of anything. So look out for lots of hats, scarves, gloves and baby items!<br /><br />Recently completed but not picture yet are a <a href="http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring05/PATTbranchingout.html">Branching Out</a> scarf in <a href="http://www.poshyarn.co.uk/index.html">Posh Yarn</a> Sophia 2ply lace weight in a colourway called 'Thunder'. Its longer than I thought, I got far more pattern repeats than the pattern suggested. It was a really straightforward knit too, basically the same 10 rows repeated for the length of the scarf.<br /><br />I've also knitted a retro baby bonnet and Mary Jane shoes in <a href="http://www.angelyarns.com/sublime/yarns.php/yarn/354">Sublime Baby Cashmere Merino Silk DK</a> in a really soft dusky shade called piglet. I got both the first size hat and shoes from one 50g ball. This is the most wonderful yarn - soft, silky, slight sheen when knitted.<br /><br />I'm currently knitting a cropped waistcoat for DD in Sirdar Confetti and Supersoft Aran. I originally bought this to make for a friends baby and never got round to it (thanks goodness I didn't tell her I was intending to make it). One 50g ball of the Confetti and one 100g ball of the Aran are enough to knit all the sizes, and it goes up to 5-6 years. So in the interests of not wasting anything I am knitting the biggest size, which should do DD next winter. The main bit of the waistcoat is made in the Confetti which is quite chunky so is knitting up quickly.<br /><br />So though I'm not buying yarn I can still get patterns and subscribed this week to <a href="http://www.interweaveknits.com/">Interweave Knits</a> through <a href="http://www.pmwoolcraft.co.uk/">P & M Woolcraft</a>. I subscribe to <a href="http://www.simplyknitting.co.uk/">Simply Knitting </a>and often read Knitting and <a href="http://knit-today.co.uk/">Knit Today</a>, but though I've only seen a couple of issues of Interweave Knits I find that there's much more inspiration to be had from across the pond. Ooops nearly forgot - I get <a href="http://yarnforwardmagazine.co.uk/">Yarn Forward </a>too - its a new quarterly magazine. Issue one was sent out in October and I'm still waiting for the next issue but understand that as a new independent publication there's lots of teething problems to work through. The first issue was good though, and I hope the second is worth the wait.<br /><br />Pictures the next time, hopefully.Fizz14http://www.blogger.com/profile/13903826075784937303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845638.post-32342766350988661752007-03-07T17:40:00.000+00:002007-03-07T17:42:28.210+00:00My Secret Santa recipientMeant to say last time, I was Secret Springtime Santa to <a href="http://knitting-nanny.blogspot.com/">Knitting-nanny</a>. She seemed quite happy with her goodies. It was great fun doing this swap, I'm hoping there'll be a Summer Secret Santa in a few months!Fizz14http://www.blogger.com/profile/13903826075784937303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845638.post-57654194453611390072007-03-05T09:28:00.000+00:002007-03-05T09:47:43.308+00:00JumpersLots to update today as I haven't posted for a while.<br /><div><div><div><div><div>First FO is the pink tie-front cardi I started ages ago for DD. Finally got it finished the other weekend. As it's in hand dyed sock yarn there is quite a variation on the tie at the front. I've read when using hand dyed yarn you are supposed to alternate every few rows between skeins. However, the tie was 95cm on 17 stitches and I couldn't face fiddling about. I quite like the variation anyway. Adds to its uniqueness.</div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/IMG_0343.jpg" border="0" /> <img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/IMG_0342.jpg" border="0" /> Next is a polo neck, also for DD. Knitted in Sirdar Bonus Flash, I had great difiiculty with the polo, as the cast off edge was far too tight. I ripped it back and cast it off very loosely but it was still too tight to go over her head. Now normally I would have lost patience and relegated it to the bottom of the knitting back but for some reason I persevered. I did a row increasing in all the knit stitiches in the rib, then a normal rib row, then a yfwd K1 on all the knit stitches then cast off. The result gave a wavy/lacy edge to the cast off which I am very pleased with.<br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/IMG_0335.jpg" border="0" /> <img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/IMG_0333.jpg" border="0" />I got the pattern for the polo in a local charity shop. They have a folder of patterns for 5p each. Here are some more I bought:<br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/IMG_0337.jpg" border="0" />I started on the fairisle mittens on the middle pattern. It's my first attempt at Fairisle and I've now finished one of the mittens but am having a break before doing the second. The thumb is knitted seperately then sewn on, which looks a bit clumsy I think. I've not got a photo of the mitt complete, but here's a pic of my ealry progress:<br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q296/spook14/IMG_0336.jpg" border="0" />So now I've cast on <a href="http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring05/PATTbranchingout.html">Branching Out</a> with some gorgeous purply 2 ply from <a href="http://www.poshyarn.co.uk/">Posh Yarns</a>.</div><div>I've done one pattern repeat so far and it looks lovely.
