WHAT ABOUT MY FELT BAG THAT'S DONE TOO

I had this on the needles as well, Again I made it up as I was going along and used 2 strands of my wool from Uruguay. I like the shape of this bag, It was too wide at the top so before I threw it in the machine I sewed the sides to gather them as you can see just below the handles and it totally changed the look of the bag. just hope Nina does not see it as it's her colour...

HAVE ALSO BEEN DYEING SOCK YARN

I had a request for the grey/gold/slate/mustard shade of sock yarn and managed to get it done this week and also get it dried outside considering the rain we have had this past week. as always I dye one hank at a time and whatever colour I'm in the mood for, I have also added these to my website (with enlarged photos) Tomorrow I shall get the other sock yarn photographed again so I can add enlarged photos to them, so I hope this will help with any decisions my buyers make.

A PAIR OF WELLY BOOT SOCKS

This week has been a good knitting week or shall we say finishing week, I have had these on the needles in the last week, finished them last night and washed and pressed ready for his feet. I want to try and finish all I have on my needles before the end of next week, so wish me luck. remember the black sock yarn I used for the kilt socks (oh by the way they were a hit, all sizes fitted and will be worn next week at the wedding, I hope to get a pic of all the boys together, when I say boys I mean Uncle B***** and his boys) well I uses 1 strand of the 6ply black sock yarn which I think was a 80/20 blend, and also a strand of Lana Grossa Furetto col no 015, this is a blend of 76% wool/14% acrylic and 10% alpaca. So I do hope they will be warm. I've also put these on my website so if anyone wants to order a pair get in touch..

SCALPAY LINEN TOTE BAGS

I was playing with linen today, well linsey woolsey to be honest, thinks that's how it's spelt. I made these 6 bags for Sheila at Scalpay Linen. the fabric was woven by Sheila herself on the Isle of scalpay, If you go to her link on my blog then no doubt she will be adding the finished bags onto her etsy shop. I hope she does as you will get a better pic from her, I just cannot get this fabric to look right in my photos. I'm doing something wrong.
