Darlings!

Shrugged off is now up and available for download for £3.00!

Thank you to all my pattern testers and to Wonk for all her support.

Hi guys,

Via Ravelry, I am now donating 75% of the sales from Airy Fairy Beret to the Red Cross Haiti Relief Appeal.

It’s finally been tested and scrutinised, and can now be bought for the modest sum of £2.50 via Ravelry.

Thanks to all the lovely people test knitting this for me!

The mystery pattern has bloomed into a Real Pattern! It’s currently being test knitted by lovely people from Ravelry’s “Free Test Knitters” group.

I expect to have it up for sale in the new year – it will be cheap but worth it!

New pattern up on Ravelry – come see it!

This weekend we were away in Filey, and after Mr L and I visited the Vicar (wedding in August next year!), he bought me some Alpaca Soft from the LYS. What else to do than to make a scarf inspired by his favourite favourite SciFi/Fantasy characters?

Other than that, Christmas presents are in the making, and the Mystery Project is getting on.

So, my knitting adventures continue. On Saturday Ashley and I day-tripped to Bluefaced to gorge on wool rovings and yarns. I couldn’t stop touching things!

I’m going back as soon as I can to get some more of the Luxury Aran (80% Baby Alpaca/20% Silk) Ash gifted me, as I’ve been knitting up a cowl for someone special, and need to get more to make myself a jumper.

It’s been a manic past month or so – I’ve taught myself to knit and even though I am loving it, it’s become a complete change in creative direction.

So much so that I am slowly gathering a sketchbook full of design ideas – and hopefully they will come to fruition!

Well, I’ve got 9 rows of stockinette to finish before lunch is over, so I’ve got to get a move on!
