taking stock

Taking stock of my Jamiesons of Shetland wool.

 Colour chart Jamiesons wool.

Sheep knitted in natural shades of Jamiesons wool.

There's a lot of red in previous patterns.
The next design is going to be multi-coloured with less red or even no red at all...

Knitting and Crochet Magazine Feature

Thank you Knitting and Crochet magazine for including Hand Knitted Things photo tutorial for the Picot Edge Cast Off this month ( Issue 51). You can see this tutorial in full by clicking here.


 I picked out a few features in this issue that caught my eye...


A sea side themed issue with instructions for this sweet little beach hut by Amanda Berry.


 
This featured picture from Nicki Trenches book 'Crochet Living' caught my eye. I love the pastel colours here.

'How I learned to knit'...features readers and designers stories about how, when and why they came to knitting. There are tips and advice for new knitters (and those not so new to the craft).


Last but not least this fish themed colour work cushion by Wendy Mould. There is a chart and full instructions included.
