Pinwheel baby jacket

As you can see the pinwheel jacket progresses.

I'm on the sleeves now, they are quite long, as they are worn rolled up when the baby is tiny, and unrolled as the baby grows. The pattern is on the Elann website. It suggests using two circular needles to knit it on, but I found using dp's at first worked, until it was large enough to fit on a circular needle. I'm really enjoying this project, it's the first time in ages I have knitted anything other than a scarf on dps. In fact until I got Knitting New Scarves last year, I hadn't used them very much, and only done a couple of Nordic jumpers on circular needles. This should be finished, probably on Thursday evening, as I seem to have beaten the lurgy I have had for the past week, just left with erratic temperature.

A very long scarf

I gave all the other scarves away, then Samantha was looking for them, so I made her one.It's "shag" from Lynne Barr's Knitting New Scarves. However I couldn't get the triangles all on the same side of the scarf, don't know why.

This one is around 6ft long, at least as Samantha said she wanted a long scarf.

The photo is a little blurry. The yarn is Brushstrokes by Stylecraft, the colourway is Storm Cloud.

New Wave scarf

Have finished the "New Wave" scarf from the previous post, only I am going to rename it "corrugated", as when I looked carefully, the waves are supposed to be on alternate sides of the scarf, mine are all on the same side, and because I have made in a brown yarn, it looks a little like corrugated cardboard to me. Also it has only worked out "muffler" length, so it will definitely be a Yule gift for the person I have in mind.

Ah well! Will have to try again.

So, that's another scarf from Knitting New Scarves, but gone slightly wrong.

Work in progress [aka WIP]

Today I went into Lancaster. Got black fabric to make the tie skirt. I have to unpick the ties now, and construct the skirt.

I have also done a "swatch" of "carumboa" from Knitting New Scarves, and made a start on a experimental version of "Easy Wave"...both from the Knitting New Scarves book.

Sorry one pic is fuzzy. I have to make 44 of those for the Carmuboa scarf.

Another rainbow

I have just finished this rainbow scarf. It's an adaptation of one of the scarves in Lynne Barr's book, Knitting New Scarves. It's the second one I have made. I gave the first one away, then decided that I would like one for myself.
