Hello,
Well here is it is, my version of Snowflowers or Snowflowers on a shoestring as I was too tight to buy the pattern. I have to confess this has been done quite a while but as soon as it was finished I started wearing it and I have worn it a lot!!
I had kind of hoped for snowy pictures ( well snowflowers and all ) which is why it has taken until now to get organised with the camera. It is warm and cosy and goes with pretty much anything.
I have worn it to work and I have worn it to do house work in anyway it occurred to me earlier as I was wearing it whilst splashing bleach around I had better get a couple of pics before it is worn out.
I was a little bit worried that the low neck might annoy me but it is actually really nice as you can wear a scarf with it or a polo neck without feeling like you are being strangled. I am also a fan of the fact that it is a bit roomy, ok it might add the illusion of an extra couple of lbs but I have full arm movement which I am really enjoying in comparison to all the fitted sweaters I have made over the last couple of years.
I still have yarn from the reindeer sweaters so am planning something else similar for later in the year.
Anyway until next time Happy Knitting

Up cycling
Upcycling !!!
I didn't quite have enough fabric so I had to be a bit inventive and it has different fabric for the facings . also couldn't get of quite the right grey for the bias binding so decided to put a contrast with it. Azrael was super helpful with thisHe was pretty good at this point but I ended up throwing him out of the room so he was such a pain . I am pretty pleased with how they have both turned out. Especially as for the price of a couple of zips and some bias binding my wardrobe has been updated. I shall be looking for other up cycling projects! Till next time happy crafting A x
