Sweet lilac

This is a cornflower!

A super cute beret for a secret swap! Made in 100purewool it is delightfully soft and the colorway definitely makes it onto my favorites list!In some lights it looks almost baby blue and in others beautiful shades of lilac appear......

This the the beret pre-blocking....

Wet blocked and stretched over a dinner plate....

All done! Sits so much better now.

And a pic of the underside after blocking.

Pretty clothes for a dolly

There is a little magic in knitting dolly clothes don't you think.....
They work up so quickly (now that's always pleasing magic isn't it *giggle) and you just know that the little girl who receives them will take much delight in dressing her dolls in the finest of clothes even if it is just to take her special friend on a morning walk which involves a mud puddle.

 

Dandelion tea and knitting..

I knit with visions of open fields, sunshine, a warm breeze, fluttering flowery skirts and wishes scattered on the wind.......Dandelion tea neckwarmer.

The pattern I used is 'Green tea' and the yarn is a Mosaic moon colorway called 'Dandelion'.

The simple cables were a joy to knit - simple yet the perfect squishy texture.

Gift wrapped with some dried dandelion tea it will be the perfect gift for a friend.

Lure me into your shadow and kiss me.....

For all things 'Twilight'.....as I created it this piece filled my head with love, longing, vampires and of course Rob hehe ............this is a shrug for a friend (we traded my needles for her handmade buttons). Knitted across in one piece it's then seamed along the arms and the cuffs and edging are then crocheted. I adore my crochet lace and it was a pleasure to work................
