Alexander is a very long film

I can't see what they will do with another 45minutes left.


I've been swatching with the NDS Dazzling. I'm gonig to make a cardigan for my goddaughter.  In the past, I've made a few baby items using teeny tiny needles. I like making teeny tiny clothes on teeny tiny needles with teeny tiny stitches but this time i'm going to try something new.  I'm using 4mm needles (gasp) on sock yarn.  Well, ok it's not a massive change but it's something new for me. I was surprised it still looked neat and lovely.

I bought some yarn

The pink and green are Dazzling (sock)and the yellow is an older yarn base that I thought I would add to the photo but bought ages ago, all from The Natural Dye Studio.  I planning to make my goddaughter a stripey cardigan. Well, I was planning for it to be one colour and lacey but then I made a bodge on the yarn ordering and accidentally bought two different colours rather than two hanks of pink.  I remember wanting all the colours so I can see how this happened.  Perhaps I'll buy some blue or purple when I've finished the first stripey one and make another.

In the meantime, I had some more patterns published.  The first was a trio of stripey items using up lots of leftovers of Biggan DK that I had from some previous projects.


These were all published in Let's Knit, Magazine 38 

Next was a little shawlette in Fyberspates Sheila's Sparkle Sock.

It was published in Let's Knit, Magazine 39 .

And then there was the Christening Gown which I haven't even added to Ravelry so I will sort that out.
