I just wanted to share my latest knit. It's an easy layer to wear as we come to the end of summer.
The pattern is from knitting magazine April 2010 . As you will see the pattern is for stripes but I wanted a plain knit to go with more things. I have nearly finished a cherry print dress that I wanted it to go with. I do like the idea of stripes maybe shades of blue to go with jeans? or a nautical blue and white with a red stripe ooooohh I like the sound of that!
Back to little red, it was knitted with stylecraft special DK in lipstick. In the flesh it is a true 1940's lipstick red, love it! Really soft cosy yarn and so affordable it's great for everyday wash and wear.
A few random shots of MEME my body double and me in the garden ........
