Train Leaving in the rain....

Spring Leaves in the park...

Rain One - my new umbrella and a puddle. :-)

Rain Two - my new umbrella again with another puddle...

Pink Ivy - ivy growing on a wooden fence with a special filter.

Pink Park - images from the park with the special pink filter again...

Park - moody rain shot.

Natural Mirror - my favourite shot of the day - reflection of trees in a puddle. I love the magical feel of this. This was also my entry for week 16 of the 1/52 project.

Moody Mill - the old derelict mill in Cambridge and the train station, with the pink filter. Love the end of world feeling in this shot.

Hazel - love the sumi-e feel of  these two shots.

Eggs - a sign I walked past on my walk.

It's so much fun to walk around and just shoot pictures from the hip. I've used the random setting on my Hipstamatic app to create the different effects and then took them into Photoshop to edit them and emphasise the feeling of each one.

MCN: CBX7G-197HE-1NH11

I've always loved this stock image. It's so cool, but I couldn't think of anything to do with it, because it was perfect as it was, however, then this idea came to me. It reminds me of the scene in Gone with the Wind where Scarlett makes herself a dress from the drawing room curtains. I love the make and mend idea behind this and the fun red shoes. A girl doing for herself and having fun whilst doing so. :-)

Knitting - on special request

... you know who you are! ;-)

I have been busy knitting lots of stuff recently. The weather was just so bad that there never seemed a moment of sunlight to take pictures, or if there was, I was busy. LOL

Oh well, here it is....

Citron shawl
Knitted with a lace weight lambswool. Pattern is here. Despite adding an extra repeat of the pattern it turned out a bit smaller than the one in the pattern because I used smaller needles and lace weight yarn. It looks great as a sweet little scarf in a Rockabilly kind of way and I love it. It's a present for a friend, whose favourite colour this is. :-)

Purple Slanted Shawl

Again, this is a present. It's a huge long shawl in a mohair yarn, knitted on the slant with several patterns in random order. I've embellished it with little beads at both ends.

Glacier Shawl and Wrist Warmers

Sorry guys, this set is mine. It's made from Rowan kidsilk in the colour 'Glacier' and I love, love, love it. LOL
The pattern is my own, although it's fairly simple, the stripes are created by alternating st st with drop stitch rows, the 'icicles' on the sides are simple increases and castoffs. Like the purple shawl it's very long and warm and soft. :-)

The matching wrist warmers are my own design too - the cable pattern is on both sides (front and back).

I am currently knitting another Citron shawl, this time in the correct yarn, but with a slightly modified pattern. That's for me too.... LOL I am also making a mobile with a sea creatures theme from wire, but it's not finished yet....

If you live in the Cambridge area and would like to have an invite to my next jewellery party (25th March) send me an e-mail.
