Lincolnshire Wool Couture Design Project

Last year, on a City Break in Lincoln with my family, I met Jill White, who farms sheep and sells yarn made from their fleeces with her neice Charlotte. These fingerless mittens are Part One of a Design collaboration with them- next up, matching Steampunk Neckwarmers!


They could probably be worn the other way around- with the frill over the hand- for the New Romantics among you!
There's also a knitted version. I designed it with a herringbone pattern for the hand, but this could be replaced by 1x1 rib, instead.

Here are the matching neckwarmers, patterns for which will be available from the website.

 

Purple one is sock yarn, used double.

Neckwarmer pattern available to download now from the website.

Birthday Blanket

Made using 4mm hook, DK acrylic, Join As You Go method, a blanket for someone special

Just finished a lapghan for an elderly relative-I didn't have enough of one yarn to do the background one colour, so started the JAYG from the middle using the colours I had (see diagram).

It measures about 32" by 45".I used acrylic DK and a 4mm hook.

I almost think I prefer it- necessity is the mother of invention, as ever!

Baby blankets are still my 'go to' project when I don't want to have to think too hard..love playing with brights and neutrals..whatevers in my basket
