Very pleased with the outcome but was very time consuming to knit.
The pattern was out of Zandra Rhodes collection for Brother Book. If you like way out and unusual designs it is worth trying to get this book.

crocheted matinee set

I crocheted this outfit to put on ebay, one of my ways to reduce my stash and also I have to amuse myself with another craft when my hubby is home as he does not like it when my machine gets more attention than him.

My first lace cardigan done on the 950i

My first lace project on the 950i, I really enjoyed using the lace carriage.
I used BSK crepe 4ply, I really like the way this yarn takes the steam. Also made using the Knitleader 116.

Christmas is coming

I was informed today that there are 112 days to christmas. So I have been going through my list.
Jacket for Daughter in Law, sweater for hubby, sweater for my grandson + a stocking, garter stitch cardi for my dad, sweater for my youngest in Aston Villa colours, sweater for the middle one, evening jacket for my friend, got to decide what to do for my sons mother in law and also something for myself.
So I think I had better get in overdrive.
Tomorrow is the start of countdown starting with my daughter in laws jacket.
This is made in 2ply ripple yarn, really really stunning.

Pineapple crochet shawl

I made this while waiting for my garter carriage to finish its knitting
It is 45 ins in diameter and made with Wondersoft Double knitting
It is for sale on e-bay from 2398lynne.

Hubby's Garter stitch panelled sweater

I have finished my first sweater using my KG93 Garter carriage. It is made with BSK 4ply Acrylic, I quite enjoyed using the garter carriage and wash fasinated watching it work.



This is the Garter stitch design, 51 rows by 24 sts

I tried to do a Rolled neckiline but the roll went the wrong way so I had to re-adjust. I undone the amount of rows needed and stitch down inside neck, only thing was the Purl side was showing instead of the plain. But I do like the ridge ontop of the neck band that the purl stitches have made.

Can anyone help to convert this pattern

Could anyone help me to convert this handknitting pattern as I have fallen in love with this jacket.

New project

This is my next project once i figure out the ply of the yarn, this is going to be for my DIL. If it turns out ok I might try and enlarge the sizes for myself.

Poshfrocks shrug pattern

18/08/06

I made this with my 950i and it is the first time I have used my knitleader aswell, it is made in Cascades 4ply crepe. The pattern called for 3 strands of metropolitan crepe which I did not have so I done three different sized tension swatches and decided on T5 drew the mesurments on the knitleader chart and it all came out beautifully, it was also the first time I have done a Bias edging on a garment,my next task is learning to use my Garter carriage this weekend using Colins pattern which was in MKM. Hopefully I will finish it before he comes back from his hols and see what he will think of my efforts.
Might be just pulling my hair out.
