1. The Drawing Board.

   Posted on 4:02pm Tuesday 20th Aug 2013

   I've been busy swatching recently and playing about with graph paper, colouring pencils, various stitch patterns and this colourful yarn palette.  I'm working on a couple of things - firstly, a pair of fingerless gloves / mittens made with Patons FAB DK yarn.....

   

   .....and secondly, a baby aran jumper made with rico baby classic DK.  This moss stitch swatch is for the back.

   

   I've also got a design forming in my mind using one of my tartans - the MacLeod hunting tartan.  I just need to find yarns in the same shades as the colours shown below to start swatching.

   

   I bought some shade cards from Jamieson & Smith to go with the shade cards from Jamieson's of Shetland I already had.  I love the colours of yarn from both companies.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   I couldn't not include this picture of my gorgeous little boy snuggling into his mammie.
