Jewellery Party Specials - Part 1

I have a jewellery, knitwear and accessories party this Thursday evening, 26th November. 

Due to a harddisk crash earlier this year, I have lost lots of e-mail addresses, so if you didn't get an invitation, it's not because I didn't want to invite you, but because I couldn't! If you'd like an invitation, please leave a comment with your e-mail address or send me an e-mail and I'll send you the details. If you live in Cambridge or the surrounding area and would like to come, just leave a comment with your e-mail address. And don't worry, your details won't be plastered all over the net, I moderate my comments and will just take the details and then remove the comment.

Here are some of the specials that will be on offer:

To see details of the pale blue hat and wrist warmers set, go here.

To see details of the cutest of Ninja Bunnies, go here.

To see details of the burgundy wrist warmers and brooch set, go here.

Teal Gauntlet Wrist Warmers

These are made from a teal acrylic in a wonderful teal green - imagine emerald green with a hint of blue. It's a gorgeous colour and because they're acrylic they're easy to wash.

Pastel Roses Hat and Wristwarmer Set

The hat is made from Lang Mille Colori (10% Cashmere, 60% Wool, 30% Microfibre) and Debbie Bliss Astrakhan (10% Cashmere, 60% Wool, 30% Microfibre) and a little bit of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino (flower).

The wrist warmers are made with the Lang Mille Colori and the Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino. All the yarns I've used are fantastically soft and will keep you warm even through a cold winter.

 

 Prices for the sets/wrist warmers depend on the yarn and the amount of detail, but start at about £12. If you'd like to reserve any of the items, send me a quick e-mail or leave a comment.

Teal Hat and Scarf - One for the Men

And here's one for the men...

This one's already spoken for, but if you're interested I am happy to make another set in various colours. Just let me know what colour combination you'd like.

The yarns used are Lang Mille Colori (50% new wool, 50% nylon) in shade 088 and Debbie Bliss Rialto Aran (100% merino wool) in teal and charcoal grey.


The hat is my usual beanie hat design with the brim of the hat knitted in charcoal grey, the bit above the brim knitted in teal and the stripey bit is knitted in the variegated Lang Mille Colori.



The scarf has been designed with cycling and other outdoor activities in mind. It's been knitted in moss stitch which keeps the scarf nice and flat - almost like a woven fabric - and with a hole in the scarf where the other end of the scarf can be pulled through. This means the usual bulk of a knotted scarf is gone and the scarf will easily fit under a coat. It will also stay in place and hang elegantly rather than be scrunched up. The scarf (because it's doubled up) will still keep you nice and snug and warm.


The fringe has been made with Debbie Bliss yarn in teal and charcoal and strands of the Lang Mille Colori.


Below you can see the lovely silkiness and softness of the Lang yarn. It's slightly slubby (uneven in width) which adds texture.


The price for a set is around £40. Both hat and scarf can be hand washed in hand warm water and dried flat.
