More Wonderful Models

This young lady came into the shop with her family, they are on holiday, and her younger brother is called Tim.
Well I asked her if she would like to model this dress which was a work in progress.
As you can see she said yes.


I had promised people that the dress pattern would be on my web site by the end of today, so needed to work on one,
I pulled most of the above out and came up with the one here below, the pattern will ( the will is more for my benefit)be on before 12 midnight!!!!

Another great model!!!

This is Grace and she has just finished knitting this 'Elizebeth Zimmermans Adult Surprise Jacket' in the Rowan Kafe Fasset Yarn. It is truly amazing, don't you agree, - one clever lady!!

BTW you can buy this yarn in a wee shop called Woolfish

Selkirk Throws and the Sea

I just nipped down to the Harbour at St Abbs to see this. I just mentioned to someone there that I find it hypnotic, soothing, frightening.... all at once. I was supposed to take photos of Throws so I got one or two

These two throws are both Blue but one has a little green going through it.

They are £39.95 each

Isn't this Cardi Lovely, It was knitted by Mrs Jean Weatherhead.

It is an Artesano Pattern and knitted is Artesano Inca Mist which Jean mentioned was so beautiful to knit with. Others have said the same.

The finished article is just soooo luxuriously soft.
