........ but three finishes!! First we have the stripey socks
then the socks knitted on two needles (sorry, my apprentice photographer let me down and the photo is slightly out of focus)
the line down the middle of the cable panel is where I crocheted the edges together
the third finish involved these little wooden birds and owls which I found in a shop in Hawick this morning, and the bunting kit which was a freebie with a magazine
it didn't take long to make the bunting. I hung it up on the design wall to take a photo, but because there wasn't room to hang it level, the poor little birds are hanging off the side flags at drunken angles!
I started work on a new project this afternoon. I can show you what it is, but I can't yet tell you what it is for! (how mysterious). It is a sewing set which will comprise a needle case, a pincushion, a scissor holder and a bag to keep them in. I chose these pretty fabrics
the pincushion will look like this one, made with hexagons using the English paper piecing method
I played with some paper, working out how to fold a square to make pockets for two pairs of scissors
to finish, more food! Malcolm made this for dinner - haddock and spinach in a half-fat creme fraiche sauce, topped with an egg. It looked so good I had to take a photo!!
