Works in progress

My works in progress.
For my daughter's Christmas present, I am crocheting a beret and neck warmer.  The pattern is called 'Winter Flower' from Drops Design from www.garnstudio.com, most of all the patterns are free and the yarn which is available from www.woolwarehouse.co.uk, excellent quality.  The yarn that I am using is Drops Lima, made up of wool and alpaca, the colour is purple.  I bought 6 skeins of yarn, which cost me £11.94 ( postage included).

One of the ladies at my knitting group, gave me some Jaegar matchmaker merino double knit, in blue, cream and beige.  I went to Liberty and bought 1 skein of Rowan super fine merino double knit in claret, cost £5.75+, so I decided to knit a tam from Juniper Moon Farm patterns.  The patterns are available from www.yarn.com, or if you google Juniper Moon Farm patterns, you will come with other online suppliers.  The pattern comes with matching mittens. I may knit them, I am not sure at the moment.

My polka dot cardigan, I have been knitting in the round or on circular needles, the colour is electric blue and it is a vibrant blue, the yarn is 100% cotton, by Scheepjes, the polka dots will be done in white, pink and lilac. It felt very strange knitting in cotton, your fingers do get use to it.
