Some more news......... now that I have the Etsy shop I've decided to have a clearout of my knit-related stuff! I'm starting with some of the samples that I have made for magazines. I've been hanging onto some of them for a while, as they represent a lot of hard work - but now I think they'd be better off being worn by someone and hopefully giving them pleasure.
I'm going to be adding one sample a day - these are the 2 that are on Etsy so far -

Snowflurry from The Knitter magazine 2012

I was particularly proud of this design - it took ages to work out how to get the snowflake pattern to 'fade' towards the shoulder. It is knitted using Rowan 4 ply pure wool and Fine Tweed and can be found here on Etsy

Garland from The Knitter magazine

The second jumper is a rather more glamorous affair - with a plunging back neckline and some pretty beaded embroidery.

This can be found here on Etsy I'm not mad about the styling - I think they've put shoulder pads in! - as I think it could look really nice worn in a more 'casual' way. But at least the photos are on a model, and show the shape.

Finally - a sneak preview of some of the other samples that I'll be putting on this week................. (P.S. I don't choose the colours!)
