A Commission Finished and a Pattern on the Way
It was lovely to meet so many of you at the Kendal Wool Gathering last week. Its been busy week and I've finished a commission to knit a pair of fingerless gloves with a treble clef and a sharp and a matching head band with a sharp. They are knitted in West Yorkshire Yarn Spinners Blue Faced Leicester Aran in the shade Aubergine.
The pattern for the Sheep slippers for a baby is on its way. I'm knitting another pair to make sure I know the correct weight of yarn to put on the pattern. It will be ready in the next 7 days to download.
