The open panels are worked in a waffle stitch and the central pattern is a vine leaf pattern.

The latest knit finished
I've not done much knotting lately....being Christmas and all that!!
But I have done a nice sweater for myself.....with the wool I bought at the craft fair I went to backalong.
A lovely soft wool, and I'm dyeing to wear it but won't be able to until next winter, as I am planning to exhibit this sweater in a small village show in July.

What I have been doing these last few weeks
I have been doing more knitting than knotting lately.....mainly because the white jumper had to be finished by Christmas...as it's for my Swedish grandaughter who is visiting then.......
I'm quite pleased with the result after starting it 3 times before I got the right thickness.......
first start with 3 strands of double knit...too thick!
second start with 2 strands of chunky...too thick!
final start with 2 strands of double knit.....just right for a warm jumper.
Knitted and finished it in just less than 2 weeks!

A couple of knotties too
Before I went away, I made this little beaded bracelet, using a thin hemp thread which I purchased at a craft show a few weeks ago.
Also used a clasp fastening for the first time, so it might not be expertly finished!
Then this morning I found a short left over cord and made a Dragonfly keyring.....
