The Secret's Out!



For a while I've been working on something for 'Boston Becca', my 'secret swapper' on the Knitting Help forum, so I've not been able to show you what I've been doing for a while. But now that she's received her parcel, I can show you! I made her a beaded capelet, into which I threaded something like 2,000 seed beads as I went along knitting it!


As I had some yarn left over, I also made a matching bag to go with it! Hope you like them, Becca!

I've Been Published!




I've been lucky enough to have something I made picked to be a 'Star Letter' in the September issue of 'Knitting' magazine! The star letter prizes are sponsored by Rowan, and I've won some lovely prizes from them!
Maybe they liked it because it was a Rowan pattern that I knitted from, from their beautiful 'Beads, Buttons & Lace' book.

This 'Move Star Dressing Gown' is a full length cardigan/gown type garment, which took me five months of hard work to knit up, and I'm thrilled to beans to have something published in a magazine like this!
In the meantime, I've been busy knitting something for my secret swapper from the Knitting Help forum, so there'll be no photos of that until she's received it!
