Hi all. Just finished another sweater with left over yarn. James C Brett marble chunky. Used an old tried and tested pattern.
Thank you for looking.

Wow that’s good! The colours go really well together

Thank you 🙏

Beautiful. What is the stitch that you used? hugs

That looks warm and cozy, just right for the weather ahead.

It’s a basket stitch just to jazz it up a bit. Thanks.

Lovely jumper I like the colours.

What lovely work, both. Confess , Purplepixie, how much of your stash is still waiting...

That is lovely, I still haven’t sewn up the toddler jump I finished last time I admired your work!

Purplepixie Tue 20-Oct-26 22:08:14

Well! There is still a lot of stash to use up before I buy anymore.

How talented you both are. Well done!

You have a real talent in your craft and blending shades - its beautiful. I like the shoulder top panels of the burnt orange colour too.
Thankyou for your photos.
Peacelilydilly Lovely , I really like lavender shades mixed with pink . Thankyou too.

Lovely knitting Purplepixie and will keep you snug and warm this winter.

Peacelilydilly I've never crocheted a garment, just blankets, perhaps it's time to try.

You have a good eye for colour purplepixie and I love the basket stitch.

GillyMo Wed 21-Oct-26 06:00:56

peacelilydilly very pretty colours in your blanket, I keep trying to crochet as well as you, but keep failing!

Thanks. It's a Hexi Cardigan I'm making and I'm following this lady on YouTube she shows you what to do step by step. This wool is multi coloured but I've also made one using odd balls of wool.

That's really a great jumper. I've just started knitting again and wish it would be as good as yours.

DamaskRose Wed 21-Oct-26 10:39:33

Lovely work both! I’ve made a hexi cardi even though I’d only ever done blankets so have a go JenniRen, you can do it!

GillyMo Wed 21-Oct-26 10:49:55

Oops sorry peacelilydilly. Thank you for the link - I will give it a go!

I'm making a hexagon blanket at the moment. Someone asked me yesterday how large it was going to be.
It could be a cushion if I get fed up of counting to three, or double bed sized otherwise.
