So the pieces of fair-isle knitted wool that I wrote about back here are still waiting patiently in my workroom for me to do something with them… so in the meantime I used some of the smaller pieces to make these items for my etsy shop update today. Two soft hot water bottle covers and a cushion cover too… I think they show off the great fair isle design pretty well and it's satisfying to use to make something (hopefully) useful from the knitted pieces. Plus, today turned out to be fairly grey, cold and wet, so sewing up some wintry items seemed like a cosy activity.
I think this might be my last shop (or perhaps second-to-last) update for the year, as I hope to spend December working on other projects, most of them Christmas-related of course. Just in case you were wondering, the last date for sending parcels overseas guaranteed in time for Christmas is December 2nd or the 19th if sending within NZ.
I think I have an obsession with fairisle these days… I was looking through my 'dream clothes' folder on Pinterest and found no less than nine fairisle garments collected there. The next step is to take a deep breath and try and knit one myself!
