More knitting

Posted by Susie on March 26, 2008

This is the other knitting project I have finished recently. It’s a shrug made out of some wool I found in Oxfam. The pattern was made collaboratively by a group over at Craftster and can be downloaded as a pdf from Peony Knits (it’s in the sidebar).

Very snuggly.

Better late than never…

This is a jumper that I first dreamt up in the last round of Wardrobe Therapy to replace a horrible Velveteen Rabbit that I never liked in the first place (a ‘Torture Rabbit’?).

I made it using the general instructions for a seamless yoke sweater in Elizabeth Zimmerman’s excellent book Knitting Without Tears. It’s the first jumper I have made that fits me perfectly and the yarn is thick but soft. I’m very happy with it.
