Colours of Assam

Rain washed fields and skies, glimpses of the sun and sky reflected in pools, and misty outlines of hills seen through floating clouds. That's my world in summer; keeps me warm to think of it in winter!

Fair Isle Fantasy

This is a sweater I look at and wonder, 'Did I REALLY knit this???!!'

I did - over twenty years ago, for a daughter who has preserved it with love. And I knitted it with a lot of encouragement from my mother. Mother's an expert at putting colours and patterns together and she's always had fun creating her sweaters.

Colour by Instinct

This crossed bicolour stitch pattern gave me lots of opportunity to play with colours, to mix and match and create new combinations as I went along.

 
I started off thinking it was going to be a sleeveless sweater, ideal for early winter mornings, but it had the feel and the weight of  a blanket. Not enough stitches for a baby blanket, so I decided it was going to be a throw, or a comforter for cold knees in the car.
 

   'A laptop!' my sister said when I gave it to her!

                                               From lap to chair it slid - like a kitten...

                    ...and there it is, in her home!
