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.....

Not posted for a while, as I've been away on holiday, but my knitting and knotting has not been forgotten.

My cardigan has now grown a sleeve
Progressing nicely.....and the second sleeve has already grown since this photo was taken.
Knotty projects this week.
A simple adjustable bracelet.....and below is a bead one.....quite a soft one as the thread is cotton.

My Knotty bit this week.
One of the patterns in my magazine turned out like this......quite a pleasing effort, I thought!
