Autumn Shawl

Pattern: modified Winterwork Shawl by Melissa Burke 

Yarn: Cascade Yarn 220 worsted col 2453 pumpkin spice (800m)

Ravelry notes here

I reworked the shawl top-down and changed its shape to be more like a semi-circle. I love the texture of the stitches and the proportions of the shawl are spot on (both are qualities of the original pattern).

In reality I use it more to wrap around me on the sofa than as a proper shawl but I really don't mind: I use it everyday and I love it!

Sleveless Shirt

Working on a shirt pattern...

   

                    

Spring Sweatshirt

Using the same pattern as the Little Fox Sweatshirt (slightly changed the neckline).

I'm adding a strip of biding at the back neckline to make it look neat. I'm recycling the boys old pjs for this (I'm keeping the back of the tops). I'm still working out an easy way to do it but I'll get there! :p

Buttons from my stash. I might swap them for slightly larger ones...
I frogged my Aidez cardigan that I wasn't wearing much. I love this one!

Annouchka Cardigan

pattern: Annouchka by Alice Hammer, Ravelry link here

yarn: Willow&Lark Ramble DK, col 125 midnight navy, 1275m (just over 10balls)

needles: 4,5mm and 4mm for the neckband

Ravelry note for this project here

Gorgeous shoulder line, very comfortable, I'll get a lot of wear out of it. I just love it! 

Little Fox Sweatshirt

Pattern: modified Burda 8042 (I used a favourite top to compare measurements and adapt the pattern)

Fabric: French terry, cotton ribbing and strip of recycled Tshirt

I've actually sewn a garment!!! After so many years, I can wear something I've sewn again. It's the best feeling ever (ok, in the grand scheme of things maybe not, but in my crafting life, it's a big deal!).

I've got to fiddle with the pattern a bit more to have the fit and finishing I'm after but I know I'm going to get a lot of wear out of it.
