It's pattern overload today
Pattern on my tights from www.gipsytights.com
Different patterns on both sides of my reversible skirt from
British designer/creator Stefania www.loudandproudlondon.com
Pattern on my vintage find handknit cardigan (part of a twinset)
from Stockport Vintage Village's - Garbo Vintage.
Maggie has fantastic stock. That's who I got my antique
petticoat off, that I am always flashing
There's pattern on this cotton blouse that I found in the charity shop.
And the reason for this overload of textures is because I finished knitting the triangle
shawl I started last week.
Here's a picture of the back of it.
The wool is by King Cole and the range is Opium,
Colour - Leaf
I got it from a local wool shop that has been there
for years and the ladies are fantastic and don't make
you feel like an idiot when you haven't a clue what you
are doing.
Just to add even more to the concoction I got these Texting Mitts
from a local company www.purplepossum.co.uk
They are only up the road from me in Burnley, Lancashire.
Love how they jumped on the techie bandwagon with their name for them
Boots by Fly London - colour Camel |
We are off to the pub tonight for tea with the neighbours.
Hope I don't make their eyes go funny with my clobber
I am going to have a go at this next
Wish me luck
Goodness me, that shawl is beautiufl, it looks like lace and I'm loving the colour. Thanks for the close-up of that glorious skirt.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the pub! xxx
Switched the skirt round to the other side to go out and changed my boots to a more dressy pair xxx
DeleteI mentioned Marion Foale here the other day - and there is her first book under the texting mits!
ReplyDeleteI am totally in awe of your skills and speed. A lovely wall hanging and a knitted shawl in the blink of an eye!
Yes I followed up on what you said about her Julia. I can't believe the book is 35 years old, it's so on trend now.
DeleteDon't me fooled the scarf was easy peasy and the hanging was done in an afternoon with a friend. It wouldn't have happened left to my own devices haha
I do love a bit of pattern overload myself, so I can only approve. But oh my, that triangle shawl is fantastic, from its lacy texture to its wonderful green colour. Well done, you! xxx
