Updating
Some of my patterns use techniques that you may not already have in your knitting toolchest, so I have a page on my website devoted to explaining these, I have just added "applied i-cord" feel free to have a look, you never know what you may find useful.
I'm working on more pleats and tucks, they help to give the garment a rounded organic look that is difficult to find usually when you are working with straight edges.

and the applied i-cord makes for a very nicely shaped neckline.

Rainy days
The Baktus and The Ruffle scarf they are finished!
The Ruffled scarf is not Blaise's despite her pleas, she is free to knit one for herself.
the pain of denial was cushioned somewhat by Tiramisu cupcakes, the latest in the Uni holiday cupcake trials.
The recipe is from Martha Stewart - we implore you to make them mini-muffin size, regular cupcake size is just too much! and definitely make the espresso-marsala syrup, we did half and half with vanilla syrup and while still good it lacked the oomph of the coffee.

Busy busy
WIP update:
I started a Baktus this morning, using my hand dyed handspun superwash merino (above) in the "60 seconds" colourway (you know the ad - lichen, moss and mildew - just spray and walk away!) I blame Ailsa for this - her Baktus was so lovely and versatile, I just had to make one for myself. It is racing along, very addictive and great tv knitting.
and this is a version of the Ruffle lace scarf I cast on 200 sts and am working in garter st, increasing every 4th row, using 2 skeins of Madil Kid Seta in the the 681 colourway...love this yarn despite the imaginative colour description, it makes other Mohairs feel like a brillo pad.
I'm also working on a mitred square baby blanket - no photos yet.
I have finally finished most of my secret projects - phew! I can start sharing my work with you again soon.
