The Joy of Experimenting

It’s been two weeks since my last update, and I’ve got plenty to share. I’ve been painting a lot recently and I’m really enjoying it. I’m trying to produce as many pieces as I can over the next couple of weeks, so I’ve been thinking carefully about balan

Back to Painting and Inspo Hunting

I’ve dived straight into my next knitting project—the pattern for which I shared in my last update. This time I’m using only the leftover yarn from my previous jumper, so it has the same wonderfully soft, fine lambswool feel.

Hot Weather Knitting and Allotment Progress

The jumper is finished finally! I think I started it in April, after Easter, so it has taken me almost three months to get it done. I’ve blocked it, to try to stretch it out a bit, and while it’s not oversized at all, it fits. The neckline is much too wid

Wool, Whittling & Wildlife

This new jumper will probably be one of the longest, most intricate jumpers I’ve done. I’ve been working on it a lot, but so far I’m still on the yoke section. The wool is so thin and delicate, it’s almost going to be just an ornamental jumper.

New Craft Unlocked - Wood Whittling

The blue jumper is finished as the second sleeve is done. I’m happy with how it turned out. The washing and blocking process gave it a little extra stretch, so it fits nicely. I’m hoping it will be a good staple for the winter.
