Nelly's knitting: project #3
|
|
A jumper for Fred. No pattern, just launched in and improvised as she went Too narrow? Add side panels, with triangular tails on the top to make the sleeves neater. Shawl neck, some buttons. And this was within two months of learning to knit!
Nelly's knitting: project #1
|
|
Nelly's first ever knitting project: not a scarf, not a pot holder, but the Failynn Fox Cowl!
Nelly's knitting: project #2
|
|
After the Fox Cowl, Nelly wanted to understand how to knit with double stranding. She made this camera case - note the twisted stranding on the inside. And the even tension. Amazing!

We decided we had to sacrifice the ornamental cherry tree for the sake of the vegie garde area: it takes away too much sun. We had some magnificent displays of spring blossom, but it only lasts a week, and if we have high winds or rain, it's not even that. So... down she goes
