pointing the finger

of blame! this is the reason why i am so behind on making things to sell at the school summer fair!
tweedie twenty ten
it's finished now so i have a whole week in which to flick the switch onto crazy sewing lady, it's going better than i had thought & i;ve got quite bit made in the last couple of days {but will be taking the rest of today off as it's our wedding anniversary}oh & tomorrow i'm throwing a whole heap of trouble into the mix, but you'll have to wait to find out what it is {can't believe i've kept this one quite though!!!!}


back to the knitting
tweedie twenty ten
i'm so very happy with how this turned out, i love the pattern & the yarn worked out great {as did the price as the yarn was on sale from kemps}
tweedie twenty ten
it's the twenty ten pattern from Veera Välimäki, i made a few changes, the most obvious being i made it long sleeved, mostly because i'd got enough yarn left to do so, i would love to make a short sleeved version too, i also shorted then neck by a couple of inches,

i used sidar tweedie yarn, it's labelled as a chunky but i really don't think it knits as one, more of an aran weight really, it's a colour i will wear a lot, just hoping it will wash well!
