Meet my latest craft addition! An inkle loom, bought for £10 from the Loom Exchange, I have yet to find the time to warp it up. As usual I have been watching you tube videos to get me in the mood and Ali has ordered me a book to help me on my way…I’ll be sure to keep you posted of my progress!
Here’s me proudly wearing my Liesl Cardigan. I spun the Seawool fibre, Navajo plied it and then with my 8oz of worsted weight yarn I created the cardigan. Don’t look too closely on the back will you, I must have had a lapse of concentration as the pattern goes slightly askew after the division of the armholes after the yoke. Never mind, I just love it and have made a few notes on my Ravelry Project page so that when I make myself another it will be even better than this one,hopefully!
A couple of weeks ago I was asked to take some photographs for Toppings Bookshop in Ely in exchange for some events tickets. I love this sort of photo shoot, just left to my own devises to wander around and click when I feel a photo is appropriate.
The outside of the shop is deceptive, looks very narrow…
So, I took loads of photos, had the best time, and got tickets to have Coffee and Cake with Michel Roux (the only useful link I could find is a book link, but the picture will remind you who he is) in St Peter’s Church Ely and then later Barry and I are off to meet Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall in Ely Cathedral for an evening of entertainment…
Congrats on your inkle loom!Fabulous photos, as usual :^)Love the little cardi and the bitty wonky in the back isn't that obvious, I do love the colours and it looks so comfortable and fresh.
That little loom looks interesting. Show us what you make! I love your Liesel, no wonkiness noticed here!
Oooh Marianne — that new cardigan is beautiful. I love it on you!
Your cardigan is lovely and extra special because you spun the wool 🙂
Your Liesl is really cute, and it looks perfect for autumn! Great photos, as ever.
That cardigan is fantastic, oh as if I didn't already have enough things on my needles, I want to add this one too!
I love your bookshop photos – especially the one using the fisheye lens. They are wonderfulAnd I especially like your cardigan. I must go an investigate the pattern – I can't resist!
