despite it being a difficult week I managed to make and finish this baby cardigan
Made to my own pattern, I don't usually go for green but this yarn caught my eye and I just had to buy it.

I have had a very busy few weeks and I have done a lot of knitting.
I like to take my own basic instructions and alter them with different stitches and colours.....here are a few of the ones I have made lately....

I have been very busy knitting for the last few weeks.
As I have spent most of my life designing knitwear and having been inspired by items that other people are making, I decided to get back into it again.
I am still painting but most of my sales for art are now on ebay...so I am gradually just adding more and more knitwear to my folksy shop
www.folksy.com/shops/teabreaks
.
I will still have paintings on folksy and also my hand made cards as I like to do those as well.
This week I have finished another entrelac cardigan....this time with purple and mauve sparkly yarns.
These cardigans take many hours to knit but I do love seeing the finished garments.
I have also made a few baby cardigans.
I have decided to stick to mainly baby items as making larger items was causing a storage problem.
Here are some of my latest knits.....most of them can still be found in my folksy shop from starting prices of just £6 plus shipping

Because my hands have been painful for a while due to the constant crochet...I have returned to my love of knitting as this is how I earned my living for many years.
I find that I am able to knit without causing any pain.
So here you can see some of the items that I have been making recently.
I love entrelac knitting in particular.....there is also a picture of me when I had my knitwear stall at the Wednesday craft market in Uxbridge (Greater London).
I hope to be showing more knitting soon......

back to knitting
