ODD ARMS.

These arms might look the same but they are not. One is shorter than the other by a few rows. Someone left them behind at Fabrications, and they have no story and not much character. 

2 BLUE TRIANGLES.

Sue saved two blue fluffy triangles for us. Could be the start of a bikini or badges and patches on  a jumper.

2 1/2'S OF SLEEVES.

Helen in Surbiton was making a pregnant attempt to knit a cardigan for her son, but the truth is she was only doing it because of a pressure she felt from her mother in law, who could knit brilliantly and made Helen feel lazy every time she came round.  Mother in law was impressed with this cable, so Helen felt her work was done. We are not sure what Helen has made, it seems to be one vertical half of a sleeve and a horizontal half of a sleeve, but it does have potential.

PODS FROM WALES.

Miss Harries loves nature and started making 'pod shapes' to hang up.  It was one of those 'in between, work in progress' projects where you are working something out and thinking. Miss Harries stuffed them with essential oils so they smell rather nice and repel moths. 

I have sent these pods to Hannah, who lives with her parents and four sisters in Romford. Hannah is about to start architectual college, so I thought she might like the wierd shapes.

TWISTED THING.

Poor Hannah, from Leytonstone 6th form college, got the hang of knitting straight away, and went clicking away on circular needles to make this.......ummm......twisted thing.  It probably only took one twisted stitch on the first row to make this very interesting piece which will never be a normal hat. We wish Hannah every success when she goes to a new college to study Architecture next term.

Deirdre in Co. Antrim says she is going to give this piece 'Twist and Shout' if not 'Rock and Roll'!

Good luck Deirdre!

LOUISE'S UFO'S TAKE OFF.

After many years of dedication to knitting and crochet, Louise ended up with a lot of UFO's in her cupboard, and turned them all into this amazing bat wing cardigan. One day I will interview her about all the different parts, but for now, let's just watch her be beamed up.

WHITE GUERNSEY.

I can't resist taking this one on.  It will take yonks to finish.  Caralyn Rawlinson started this guernsey in 5ply guernsey wool on 2.25mm circular needles.  The whole thing will be knitted in the round up to the shoulders, the shoulders knitted together and then the arm holes will be cut to set in the sleeves. That is scary. I don't know if Caralyn meant to put a post code pattern in, but I am starting to knit some pictures up the chest and back...which will not be finished in time for the Jerwood show...
