ZOE'S LOVELY SCARF.

Zoe came back today! She comes all the way from Sussex to visit her son, and us!
This time she has made a cross-over scarf in Sari Yarn £5 / 50g.
We like the little flower to cover the crossover hole.

JULIA'S LOVELY JUMPER.

Check out Julia's beautiful alpacca jumper made from an old Ralph Lauren pattern.
We felt so joyous when she came in wearing it this morning.
There are people walking dogs under her armpits and everything.
Julia said she is happy to be retired, knitting and growing vegetables, just as she did when she was a child.
Marvelous.

KID MOHAIR AVIATORS.

I'm rather pleased with these Mohair aviators. They were rather a fiddle to make but easier than the last pair, so when I've perfected it, I'll write a demonstration article.

ANASTASIA'S BOYFRIEND'S BIRTHDAY.

What does one give the boyfriend who doesn't want anything?
This question had been bugging Anastasia for a while.
The boy in question has good taste in knitwear, but she couldn't buy him new pieces because he loved the old ones so much.
Clever Anastasia found her way to PYF, wearing her boyfriend's favourite guernsey, and booked herself a darning lesson. The jersey was seriously holey. Both cuffs had major gashes, the neck was unraveling and there were smaller holes all over the place. We had a very simular 5ply yarn in stock and we got to work, discussing the best ways to tackle the problems, speed weaving the little holes and tackling the big ones. Anastasia took the jumper home and finished the job.
She wrapped the jersey up neatly for the birthday boy, who on opening it, looked very disappointed and said "Did you buy me a new jersey?"
....and then he realised it was his old one and was delighted.
Well done Anastasia.
