Knit a poem

It seemed ambitious but it worked! Does anyone have any photos of our work to put up on the blog?

Have you seen this?

There must be at least 200 old sewing machines (mainly Singers) in the window of All Saints on Market Street at the moment. Pretty cool.

Rug.

I have finished my first crochet item. I'm pretty happy with it. Might do another one, because I don't want to share!

WOOL. This was a cool display that I saw in a high street fashion shop in NY recently. Pretty effective I thought.

NEW BABY

We've got a new great nephew in the family - Samuel Thomas - and here's some photos of the outfit I've made him. The jacket is from Debbie Bliss "Essential Baby" (copy from the Library) and the hat is two pieces of fairisle with rib sewn together with mini plaits inserted in top corners. I inflicted hats like that on my two boys, so I hope Sam enjoys his!
