This jumper is a plain round neck raglan jumper knitted in Aran weight yarn.

This one is for a customer, but if you like it, why not order one for yourself!

I am now knitting one of three jumpers in Artessano Alpaca Aran.  These are for a customer and I am using the customers pattern.

The yarn is Nef Lace by fyberspates and is in the “Sea Blue” colour.

I have just finished knitting a Flower Basket Lace scarf in this yarn and it looks lovely.  I just need to block it and take photos.

And I still have enough yarn leftover to knit another one.

This one is knitted in Nef Lace by fyberspates.  It is 70% Baby Alpaca, 20% Silk and 10% Cashmere and cost £15 for 100g/1200 meters.

The colour is “Red” although it is quite a pale red.  The yarn is hand painted in Wales.

I seem to have been knitting the same 4 or 5 patterns for the past while, and I still have more finished projects to blog about so you should be hearing from me again soon.

The yarn is 50% silk, 50% cashmere and cost £16 for 100g/1300 yds.

I knitted the scarf size which was 8 pattern repeats.  I think I would get bored if I knitted it much longer.

I have knitted more of this pattern, but I still have to block them and take photos.  Hopefully, I will get round to it soon.

I have knitted it several times now, each time in a different colour.  This colour is called “Smoke”, and although it looks white in the picture, it is more grey than white.

You can’t see in the picture how wide or long it is but I just couldn’t get a decent photo of it.

I have enough yarn to knit one more of these, in black, but I have been putting it off because it is quite difficult to see and needs a bit of concentration.

This is another Swallowtail Shawl by Evelyn A. Clark and is available as a free download on Ravelry.  (You need to be signed in to see the pattern & download)

I used some 100% wool lace weight yarn is Brown.

I wasn’t too sure about the colour but now that it is knitted and blocked, I think it works great!

As usual the photo isn’t very good.  It is so dull outside, there was more light inside.

This is a very enjoyable pattern to knit.  It isn’t too complicated so I was able to watch tv while knitting it.  (My favouite kind of knitting)

I have more lace shawls in the queue to be blocked, but just can’t get the time to get them all done.  Hopefully the weather will start to clear up and I will get some other photos taken and blogged about soon.

But I do have a photo of the latest addition to our family.  His name is Harry, and he is approx. 14.2hh and he will be 5 this year.

He really is a lovely pony, although he is a bit green, much the same as me really.  He is very quiet and will stand for ages.  I have only ridden him a couple of times because I need to get a new saddle.

The one I got with him doesn’t fit properly anymore as he has filled out a bit.

I have booked the saddler, but she can’t come until the 12th of May, so I will just need to put my patience hat on.

It goes without saying that I have been spending a lot more time outside in the field, but I do hope to get some knitting blocked and photographed soon and I will post about them when I do.

The last time I knitted this jumper, it sold at the very next craft fair that I went to.  I am not sure whether it was the colour or the pattern, but I have done it in the same colour this time.

There is so much knitting that I want to get done for the craft fairs this year.  I never seem to have enough of something!

Last year it was cardigans, everyone wanted a cardigan.  So this year, I will be trying to knit more cardigans along with as many jumpers and jackets/coats as I can manage.

Not to mention all the scarfs, both aran and lace that I want to get done.

There just isn’t enough hours in the day or energy in the body. (sigh)

I have managed to get a few lace triangles knitted, but just haven’t had time to take photos and blog about them.

I am currently knitting a Hydrangea lace scarf and a Kid Silk Haze scarf.  One is good for tv knitting and the other is for when there is nothing to watch on tv.

Hopefully, one of these will be finished in the next couple of days and I will be able to blog about it.

One day, I had an urge to knit some lace, so I pulled out my two lace books and my lace patterns and I eventually decided on knitting this Peacock Tail and Leaf Scarf from the “Kintted Lace of Estonia” book.

It was nowhere as complicated as I thought it was and I managed to finish it in a few days.

Although you can’t see it in the photo, it has quite a lot of  “nuups” which I had only ever attempted once before in a Swallowtail Lace Shawl, but they do become easier with practice.

The yarn I used was from Posh Yarn and was called “Cecilia” and the colour was “Whimsy”.

The yarn is 50% Silk, 50% Cashmere.  It is hand dyed in Wales.

I purchased a 100g hank which was 1300 yds and it cost me £16.00 and I still have enough yarn for at least another two lace items.

I would love to buy more yarn from Posh Yarn, but I never seem to have the money when they have a colour that I really want.

They have yarn on sale every Sunday at 7pm and it is usually sold out in a few minutes, so if you fancy some Posh Yarn, you have to be quick!

They are lovely and warm and they look good too!

The pattern is from “Favorite Socks” from Interweave.
