 I sure know I am and proud of it

Shruggie

This very easy Shruggie is a great project to show off an emerging talent.
 
It is a Trendy Shrug with a hood attached… great on it’s own or under a jacket for that little bit something extra.

Using simple Knit and Purl stitches create this interesting design.

Making this a attractive addition to your summer wardrobe or an extra layer to your winter one.

Spring is in the air

Today is the first day of spring yet we have had sunny days with summer temperatures for a couple of weeks now, and in the evenings we are down to very cold temperatures, great for cuddling up with my knitting in front of the fire.

As the weather is good I'm about to start dying my new skirt... The wool I had available was yellow (soo not my colour) so I am about to attempt to dye it to more acceptable colour.   Wish me luck pictures to follow..
