So after the wet afternoon, I came home and set about some sewing up of the nightmare herringbone jacket I was moaning about last week...and this is some 'help' from one of my cats...

Yesterday was one of those endlessly grey, rainy London days - and I was looking after my friend's little boy for the afternoon.

Just finished putting on the buttons for this baby sweater. It's for a friend of a friend who's due in September.

Bonjour and Hi to all,

As many of you know I love cables. I wrote an ebook a while back about multi-strand braids (any number from 4 - ????) and put it up on my blog.

Ok - finally got this shot on my boy as he was heading out to work this morning wearing the Jumper - fits like a glove!

Hello and greetings everyone I am knew to the site and old to the art of knitting. My aunt taught me crochet when I was 13 and I self taught my self knitting when I was 25.


So I've finally moved in and settled into the big apple. I love my apartment (as long as we don't get bed bugs). I already have found a job to work, that is until I find a better one.

Courtesy of rjr585, I was lucky enough for him to send me a pound or two of Alpaca fiber in three different natural shades!
Finish: 21st August 2010
Needles: 3.5 mm and 4 mm Addi Turbo
Yarn: "Saphir" by Bernetta Wolle; 65% new wool, 15% super kid mohair, 20% nylon; Colour #438.02 (beige/natural), dye lot #9006381
Pattern: "Terry's Pullover" by Carol Feller, from Interweave Knits, Holiday Gifts 2009
Modification: Knitting the sleeves in the round. I really cannot fathom why the designer knitted the body in the round and knitted the sleeves flat (she said it's easier to join)...but I think that it's kinda nonsense and seaming down the sleeves totally beats the purpose of this otherwise wonderfully seamless construction....because it's obvious that it can be done seamlessly.
