Scarf Cowl and Crochet Flowers

I made a few small things this week I found Pom Pom yarn in a parcel of remnants I like to buy. It had a pattern on the label you knit between the little Pom poms. It feels lovely and soft, added crochet flowers to use up my yarn. I love buying remnants usually a parcel as you often find nice things including lace, embroidery silks, knitting book. I also found this pretty yarn from France which has a mix of acrylic mohair, wool and gold lurex. And luckily I have a few pretty pearl buttons to add too. I made this cowl using up my oddments of yarns and used a drop stitch pattern with stocking stitch. I bought a set of these Christmas cake tins as my own was too small fit the cake I made. I included this photo as it goes with the other colours here. Also I am going to a Christmas Craft Fair just before I go to see my daughters in London for a month to spend Christmas I made a little bag for myself with remnants too.

Cowl Coasters and Cream Jumper

I have almost finished a second cream chunky jumper! I am really pleased with it and It took no time at all to make with sizes 8 and 12 knitting needles. This knitted cowl was easy to make and has four wooden buttons stitched on one side and the pattern came from my Knitting Magazine. These are four crochet coasters that I just made and will be brought with me to sell at the craft fair in December. I have quite a few small knitted and crocheted items to take to the fair now. The Guernsey Sweater Update. I have dyed the sleeves first, using a turmeric spice dye, the other sweater pieces will be dyed a shop bought bright pink. And I bought two mini carders online costing £6.50 each plus vat postage.I am really pleased with them as they are easy to handle and just right to card the small amount of fleece that I have.
