Knitting: Cuffs
I love this Armscote Manor Portland and Black Welsh Mountain wool. It is very local to me and the monochrome is brilliant for this snail pattern.
Knitting: Cowl
This naughty cat has been eyeing up a fish in a fish bowl! I’ve decided on motifs which remind me of cats, fishbowls, claws and fishtails. The Aztec feel colourwork will make this a warm and cosy cowl! A special thank you to my lovely test knitter!
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Design: I wanted to use a British sheep breed to create a hardwearing mitt that would keep my hands warm when working outdoors, but remain practical. I can use my phone because the thumb is long, but not closed (this also keeps my thumb warm). The mitts can be buttoned back, or cover the hand. It isn’t rocket science, but they work really well:...
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
This pattern includes a ribbed wrist, colourwork in the round and a steeked thumb. There is some sewing involved when making the fingers.
Knitting: Hanging Ornament
I might try this out in DK on 4.5mm needles just for fun but I love the design motif that I managed to create with 4ply.
