one skein wonder and more

I'm back. Well, I've always been here, just busy with life and work (the joys of employment). I've just finished my 3rd OSW. The first one was too small for either my daughter or myself, so it went to a friend's daughter as a gift. The second one was for my daughter and finally the 3rd one for me. Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Anyway here are some pictures to delight your eyes. Well, I hope so, because they delighted mine, probably because they were made with my very own hands. I am proud of my handiwork. Here they are:

from this - Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora

to this - my One Skein Wonder. Doesn't it look good on my dining table. Say yes.

Now me modelling my OSW. First front shoulder, then.............................

the back.

I modified the pattern slightly. Instead of the edgings suggested I did a double crochet around the arm and the body, decreasing 4 chains each row to prevent it from flaring.

A close up of the edging.

This was a great little knit.

I visited my local yarn store today - Iknit and came home with this.............

Artesano Hummingbird 100% Alpaca in Lovebird colourway. Not sure what it will become yet but just had to buy it.

Just wanted to show you these..............some brooches I had made not to long ago. Oh how so cute.

Anyway got to go now. About to start my Camellia Sweater.

God Bless. Speak to you soon.
