Long Cardigan



I finished knitting this cardigan yesterday. Why didn't I upload a photo yesterday - cos there was no one to take one. A friend obliged today (thanks Alison) and here is the cardi..... she suggested lining it with fabric... now, there's an idea. It's lovely and warm and I think I might knit another one - especially as there are six balls of yarn left over!!! I might alter the pattern next time and do buttons down the front, it may stop the front bands from curling.

Crazy Log Cabin Bag



Well here is my latest creation - and no, it hasn't taken three months to make. I'm just not a very frequent blogger!!

I made this bag for a friend. I printed photos of her cats (which I acquired by devious means) onto cotton and then used co-ordinating cotton fabric in a random log cabin design. The lining was also used for the handles, top binding and for some of the patchwork. It was made entirely of cotton fabric and machine sewn.
