Reindeer design

Hi everyone

Sorry I have not posted in a while, been busy with other things.

Though I would share this photo. Ive got another commission at the moment, and a reindeer themed sweater is wanted. I cam up with this design, based on one i found for a hand knitting patter but have slightly modified it to give my own twist.

These are just samples so obviously wont be in these colours. The end colours will be a burgundy and a white. I used the elongation lever on the sample to the left, and i think i will use that one towards the bottom of the sweater, then a panel of plain knitting or norweigan fairisle, then the normal pattern but mirror image to the other.

I think I will just be doing the fair isle on the front, and having plain sleeves and back, maybe with a bit of fairisle just near the cuffs - some herringbone perhaps?

Any ways thats all for now, hope you like :-)

Swung and Tucked Ribs

Just thought I would upload some photos of some swung ribs I have been trying out. I have never done these before but was amazed how easy they are to do. I cant imagine making a garment in them as its too tedious, but i thought little squares done in different colours would make a nice blanket all sewn up?

These were fun to knit up, and I am glad I have tried them out.

That's all for now
