But I have enjoyed embellishing this cardigan and am on the look out for some more. I have a lovely Lorry Marshall hand-knit jumper which I really would like to turn into a cardigan - bind the edges with a nice fabric, add some funky buttons and loops .....need to look carefully at it before getting the scissors out though!

LOVE your pincushions, your cardi, the proddy chair, and what a fabulous space to create in. The hexagon quilt is the same lovely traditional 'granny's flower garden' design that I'm plodding through at the moment, must take a picture of mine and share it.

After that I might have a go at knitting a rug then doing another one using 1/2cm garden netting to see if it holds.

She is a lovely person and very artistic, and that was the day I got back into stitching after being out of my sewing room for over a year.

I use a mix of felted /dyed blanket, and wool felt from various sources. I love the hand-dyed stuff from 21st Century Yarns but it is expensive.
