Sorbet Stripes Finished

I finished my Sorbet Striped top on Monday evening whilst watching the Jubilee Concert, so here it is.....

I love it and it actually fits! Of course it's not the weather to wear it now, although I have been (with a long sleeved T-shirt underneath).  It's not my usual colours, but its very cheerful and summery to wear.

It took almost all of my three balls of Louisa Harding Willow Tweed - I had inches left.  Before I started the sleeves I weighed what I had left and divided it in two, just to make sure I had enough for both sleeves!!

Louisa Harding Albero: A dress for Milly

I don't get as much time to knit these days as I would like, but my current WIP is flying off the needles to my surprise. I guess the main body of the dress is on 5mm needles but still....!

I thought it was about time I knitted something for Milly, and I'm so pleased we chose this pattern and yarn from Louisa Harding Beresford Beach. It's called Rye and it's knitted in Albero yarn which has a lovely feel & drape.

Hopefully I'll finish it within a fortnight, as i have a small knitting commission to tackle - a baby jacket which I'm going to knit in the new Debbie Bliss Eco Baby (I haven't tried it yet, so it's nice to have a project lined up)

Debbie Bliss Eco Baby

I wasn't expecting this today... My stock of the new Debbie Bliss Eco Baby arrived! It's gorgeous, in beautiful subtle colours that I am just itching to knit. but I can't! MUST finish off other projects first. Supported with a new pattern book, Eco Baby, there are some lovely simple projects to knit, ranging from blankets to dresses and cardigans. And best of all it's totally interchangeable with Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino and all those patterns
