Anyway - I have been knitting! I've almost finished a Summer Solstice (by Heidi Kirrmaier), which I've been doing in background Rowan silky tweed in 'tabby' - dark brown with orangey and other flecks - and silk/merino stripes in 5 colours SPUN BY CLARE for my Xmas present on her drop-spindles, from Yarn Yard fibre (Natalie sadly doesn't seem to be doing fibre any more). It's SO nearly finished...
Here are lots of pics:
I've also started a jumper for Clare herself - Space Girl , also by Heidi Kirrmaier!
Some pics:
I've nearly finished a version of Daybreak using 2 yarns that are more-or-less the same clour, but one's a handspun cashmere and the other a boucle silk, both bought from Posh Yarn about 4 years ago. I think it's working well.
And I've swatched for a Baby Cables and Big Ones Too, using rowan Calmer so I don't overheat in it! I like big warm jumpers, but this one is low necked and fitted, so more of a jersey top, I think. I really like this green.

Hope it's ok to comment- your post popped up in my bloglines. That striped solstice is gorgeous, and that close up that shows the handspun...wow...it's such an even yarn. Beautiful.
Solstice looks fantastic - well done!
And I LOVE Space Girl. I think another purchase of Cotton Fleece is in my future...
