Well here's the finished hexagaughan blanket, all the organizing and sewing up was done by
cadbury's keeper I don't know how she managed to work and move house as well. This is the first knit-a-long where I've sent something overseas I didn't think my knitting was good enough before. I've just finished a set of organic cotton face cloths including a mitt for Mum's birthday now I have to start another mohair throw this one is for Dan's Mum in a lovely charcoal colour. On a sad note, my brother's dog Junior was hit by a car last week. How he managed to sneak out I don't know, he died very quickly and without any pain, the driver didn't stop but we think they just didn't know it was a dog not a pothole.
I've decided to knit a pair of booties instead of buying a new pair of Ugg's, the basic pattern is Aunt Alma's dorm boots with some changes. I'll felt together two separate boots the outside layer is made from carpet wool with the sole knitted with two strands (sole left open) and the inside layer is a soft pure wool knitted with two strands (sole closed) . The idea is to knit or use Kitchener stitch to join the boots together at the top cuff, sew the two layers together, sew outer sole closed then felt. I love buttons! here are the latest ones added to my stash.
