News on Skoleppar Cushion

No entry for May - I was ill on and off for six weeks and on hols in France. Came back to find wonderful news - Helene Magnusson has asked for my cushion pattern for the new webzine Knitting Iceland due out in the autumn - find it on www.knittingiceland.com. This has entailed a total re-write of the pattern to their guidelines and has rather exercised the brain! Plus I have had to send the cushion itself off by post to a photographer in Iceland, presumably to be pictured in front of a volcano.

While in France, I dreamt up some more items to be made for this same shape. One has been inspired by the Uzbek bag in Vicki Square's book, although the final effect will be more Peruvian!
