Mitts Mitts Mitts

I knitted these stripy mitts as I loved the teal colour with cream very much.....

The Jibber evolved.....

The 1950's jibber which I have been loving making seems to have been as popular in the 60's asit is with me now as I found this pattern for a 1960's version of the 50's jibber.......

A slice of cake trim for me please.....

Knitter Blogger at Le Marche

This is me at my stall at Le Marche in a small French Village. I felt like a real part of French culture, selling my knitting alongside Fromage, Pommes, Accordion players and wine.


Motif Melange Cushion, Part Deux!!

I knitted this pair of cushions for Lady Lindsay, who already owns one of my motif cushions. I knitted them at a French Techno Party, by a river, in a forest and finally finished them off in a naturist park which we found ourselves in by mistake. I have been inspired to knit pants next, but for now, here are the cushions......



Twin Bobble Hats



I knitted these twin bobble hats and sent them off to London,all the way from France to keep heads warm this winter, : )

Motif Melange Cushion, Part 1

While living and working on a campsite in Saint Pereuse, France, I had a little knitting stall in reception and a lovely lady called Lindsay liked what I knitted and asked me to knit her a cushion......and here it is with its knitted front and amazing 70's fabric back, completed with some second hand buttons.......
