NEW SWEDISH TEAPOT


Meet my new Swedish teapot, or is it a coffee pot? Price $6.00 ( postage extra,ebay). The blue's a very dark midnight colour and the inside's warm cream.
The SOUTHERN SUMMER of SOCKS has started but I'm still trying to find yarn and patterns. I think I'm an advanced beginner so the patterns need to have more detail in the instructions and not be to hard. Last year I managed only ONE sock! bad pattern and yarn choice, my knitting was to tight even though I did a swatch.

The pattern is Burda 9799 both will be view (B), bottom photo the fabric's called floral fancy and I'll add sleeves. The top photo the fabric is a mix of carnations and roses it should make a lovely Christmas day dress, I'll add bow at the back to make it more festive.
