A few FO

I have given up waiting to get photos of me wearing some FO before they get worn out !! so here they are on the hanger .
A Kimono jacket ,pattern by Liz Lovick , yarn Colourmart wool & silk. I think I will get a lot of wear out of this one when the weather gets colder.



Beaded waistcoat ,yarn and pattern from House of Hemp. I was initially pleased with this but it has dropped a lot so I am thinking of undoing a bit ;also I wished I had done it on smaller needles than the pattern said.


I wanted an orangey cardi 'like yesterday' to go with something and this was the only yarn in my stash that was remotely near. Its vintage Sirdar Nocturne with naff 70's 'bits'in it . I made the sleeves shorter and its okay . Love the style/pattern though so will make another in better yarn next time . Oh and the pattern is 'Liesel'by Ysolda Teague .

I think there might a couple of other knitty FO but I can't remember, did I do a shawl ? !! on the needles atm I am knitting another Elsewhere in blue .

Here are some weaving pics :
First is a scarf .The warp is commercial cashmere laceweight and the weft is hand dyed , hand spun cashmere , alpaca, silk. This has a lovely drape to it and 'might' end up as a Christmas gift !!


Lastly is a WIP as I haven't fulled this as yet as I am making another strip in the same yarns to turn into cushion covers for the kitchen chairs.
These are all hand spun yarns and are the ones I dyed in the indigo vat the other week(which by the way is still going !!)

Off to Pembroke this week which I am so looking forward to even if it will be hectic .
