Works in Progress and Things done...

I'm getting quite a portfolio going for the future spinning and pattern book..Here is a peak at some of the stuff being done...
Ok, firstly some hats, done and in progress...

I bought some dyed Falkland and spun it up a while ago.  I misplaced my other slouchy hat so decided to make another.  The pattern is similar,

Here it is in progress

And finished...

It has the classic Old Shale band with a trendy Tam feel.

In progress is a replacement hat for my daughter, her other one got put into the washing machine by her siblings...fatal to anything pure wool and not superwash.

It's seamless and has a square top, it will have long flaps.  More photos of this one to come.

And finally, my major project.  This simply came about through necessity.  I couldn't find a pattern that I liked enough to do.  I love cables as well so I am doing these also.

The wool is chunky, it's a crew neck, not sure if it will be as high as pictured as yet.  The pattern is top down and seamless.

It has a classic celtic design in the middle with side twists.  The sleeves are a bit unknown at this time as I am currently freelancing the cable and don't know what it's going to look like.  It will probably take quite a while to get this one done as when you are writing the pattern as you knit it it can be rather time consuming.

Also, I will have to take a bit of a break as I am hurriedly spinning some superwash for a little boy, born just the other day and I am planning a little jumper for him.

Pics of that to come!!!
