  1. This lovely rustic shawl pin is an elegant piece that is easy to wear. It's a whimsical take on an Iron-Age design, cold-forged in copper with an added deep blue/green apatite stone tear drop to the base. True knitting jewellery, it's a practical and beautiful closure solution for handknits.

  2. It took way longer than expected but my fav sweater has finally been mended!

    No, but seriously I pulled it out this afternoon & was like “ah! This will only take 5 - 10 min!” Friends, it took several HOURS!

    Tbf the sleeve mend I actually had to pull out an older crappy mend I made a couple of years ago, & then I was teaching myself a new technique so had to re do it several times before I got it right. The shoulder spot really did only take about ten min on its own.

  3. Technically still a WIP - so #WIPWednesday it is.

    The #cardigan is in it's final stages - ends need to be woven in, then a turn in the (handwash setting of the) washing machine (why yes, I put all my #handknits in the machine) and some blocking although that will mostly be laying out everything flat and pull into shape, no stretching out. I might need an iron in the end, to sharpen the creases of the box pleat.

    Tomorrow or friday it should be finished.
