Corbeille anglais

BERGERE de France 'Getaway jacket'

Another pic.. It is still very busy round here - the work on the house is very nearly finished, and we have had the delight on no workmen this afternoon. I escaped to the garden centre and got some more plants to finish off my pots. I finished off my hanging baskets last week and they look as if they've settled well - interested to note that in French they call them 'corbeilles anglais' (English baskets). All we need is some good weather to get them going; it's still pretty changable.

BERGERE de France 'Getaway jacket'

This latest Bergere production is just finished. It is worked in 'Mirage' which is a new yarn for 2008. The pattern features in the Spring Summer magazine no 511. This is another commision for Tracy, and I need to get it parcelled and off to her this week.

Jaeger 'Maddox' jacket

Finished at last! This was a very pleasant and fast knit; but the sewing up seemed to take ages. Not helped by the continuing building work and very little peace to work at it during the day. It is still a little cool here yet, so I think Maddox will have a few outings in the next few weeks.
