Bergere sweater


I have been dying to try out this BERGERE de France sweater since the pattern arrived. I like the yarn it is worked in very much - it is called Bergereine and is 50/50 wool and cotton. They are a lovely company to work with and are always so helpful. Customers in the USA and Canada seem to love the designs. They do have that french chic flavour. Another order went off today and a new supply of sock wool and other new patterns is awaited.

Baby jacket

This Debbie Bliss baby hoodie was my take away project for Christmas. A great idea for airport delays ( the back was half finished before we left Bergerac - thank you Ryanair). Today I got it sewn up. I don't normally do the first size for babies, but I know this one will be a boy and will arrive on 24th January - so wanted to make sure it was ready in time. The pattern from the Simply Baby book worked in Cashmerino Aran.

Happy New Year!


It has been some time since I had a chance to add to the blog. The frantic activity in the run up to Christmas, both with work and getting ready for our trip to Scotland took up too much time. As a little diversion, this scarf was a pleasant project - I just love the colours.
