First Frost

First frost this morning, along with some fog. Brrr! Made a long Victorian style nightdress with crochet trims. The wider trim is an elongated bookmark, the narrow trim is a treble foundation cast on with the same cream edging as the wider one.

Baa Humbug

What an easy-peasy pattern this is. On the circular machine, 60 rows, taking care to end a quarter of the way round. Then Kitchener grafting one end the usual way, the other end inside out to about three-quarters (because I prefer that!) then turning, stuffing and working out how to do grafting from the right side. Add a head and am I-cord or similar scarf and that's it. In other knitting/crochet news, I am sewing a nightdress which calls for a ribbon-threaded lace trim. Found a good crochet pattern on Rav, just got to work out how many stitches to start with as it's made lengthways. My tension is rubbishy slack as always, but it won't matter as it will be sewn down. In getting the cutting board down from the attic, decided to investigate the contents of three bags up there. One has produced a few items for the museum tombola, another bag is full with stuff for local jumble sale, the third was sorted and has gone in the bin. Is there any more up there? What do you think! I've saved a few pieces which might eventually make it into my knitted bunting, similar to the one I saw at Yaradale. It doesn't all have to be Fair Isle.

Bunnies everywhere

Using Skip the N=Bunny pattern after the Kegworth event.
