My first FO of 2011!!!!!

I've had this cardigan off the needles for ages but just couldn't find my 'finishing mojo' anywhere...and so it's been in pieces, without bands or buttons since the beginning of December *shame*
Yesterday however, I just decided to get it done and dusted and out of the way...it took me by suprise I can tell you.
Today, I finally sewed on the buttons - hoorah!!!! The pattern itself was from Womans Weekly and the finished article is for my Mum...I hope she'll be pleased with it - Love You Mummy Dearest xxxx

Yarn : Woolcraft value DK # lilac/pink
Needles : Bamboo straights 3.5mm and 4.5mm.


Edited to add...Twisted Rib does my head in :)

A Happy 2011 To Everyone!!

I hope that 2011 will be good to you all.

As for resolutions...nah i'm not bothering lol

Red Jasper...

The bracelet was a Christmas present from Mam & Dad and I just adore the colour. I really wanted matching beads but had trouble finding Red Jasper (and the one I did find was not in my price range lol). So, I decided to try and find out if I could just buy some loose beads and this fabulous site Beadshop UK appeared.

So the beads in the picture are the ones i've made and they match perfectly = RESULT!!!!!!!!!
