Finally bought the Felted Tweed
Day 1 - At last I have bought my gorgeous felted tweed - A visit to Cucumber Patch in Wolstanton. I have changed a few of the suggested colours. I'm not using, mineral, camel and ginger. I have chosen scree, rage and clay. |
 |
Day 1 Completed 6 Rows of the Rib
Day 2 - Oh no! I have just realised I have used Ancient instead of Carbon - I have chosen more of the blue shades than green but have decided it looks ok - so I am going to carry on and see how it looks.

Day 2 Completed the rib and 2 rows of fairisle.
I have completed the rib and the first 2 rows of the fairisle. The wool is gorgeous to knit with.

Day 3 10th April - 15 rows of pattern
It's easier to knit than I thought - now all I need is some time! |
 |
12th April 2014 - over half way of first 106 rows of pattern, I have found it fairly easy - need concentration though
|
 |
| 23rd April 2014 - 80 rows of fairisle - now for the tricky bit armhole shaping |
 |
| 30 April 2014 - armhole shaping - tricky - however the pattern is set so not too bad to follow chart |
My knitting is coming out as per the pattern tension - I have had to take a row or two back as I made a mistake with the pattern setting. I checked each row end and beginning colours/pattern to make sure I was on the right track. OCD and all that. The Rowan Felted Tweed is gorgeous to knot with, I went back to Cucumberpatch and bought enough to complete Maple which will be my next fairisle.
