Cable Jumper


Cable Jumper, originally uploaded by Stinky Malinky.

This is a cable jumper I started over a year ago and didn't do anything with all summer. Its actually for me so I look forward to finishing and I hope it fits! This is the back and I am part way through the front. When finished it will be a polo neck, its from a pattern in a Rowan book. The yarn is Rowan Softlux which is dead soft and has a cool glittery thread through it.

Catherine's Blanket


Catherine's Blanket, originally uploaded by Stinky Malinky.

This blanket was made after a request from Mogron last Feb (2008), I started it in the spring, but I had to restart it about 4 times which led me to start hating the project, it was supposed to be finished in June 2008 for Catherine moving to Oxford but instead I eventually finished it this Feb and took it down south with me. She seemed to like it and sent a lovely card. I'm glad its finished, but I think it was worth all the effort!

Steven's Granny's worktable

This is a cool table/sewing box that was kindly given to me by my parents-in-law. It belonged to both of their mothers at various times so I was really touched to be given it. Plus its cool and useful, excellent!

New Knitting Stuff

I haven't posted for a million years, I got tonnes of new knitting stuff over xmas which was great, and amazingly I managed to finish the lacy scarf for Steven's mum and the hat for my sister-in-law. I hope they were appreciated.
I have included a few pics of some of the stuff I got as I was soo excited about it!
