afternoon in Cardiff Bay

Had a lovely stroll around Cardiff Bay this afternoon, plenty to see with the farmers market, some craft stalls and live music. Atmosphere and weather were lovely. Calon http://www.caloncompany.co.uk/ caught my eye for their vintage cushions made from welsh wool and embroidered tablecloths.

Lime Pink

My second knitted cushion cover of the week. Turned out a bit baggier than I expected but was simple to make and I enjoyed adding the little lime ties. Might add a third colour maybe some lemon ties?

Humbug Cushion

Just finished my humbug cushion which I'm delighted with!!! Cost me £3.67 to make, love a bargain :D The pattern was so simple and I've really got the knitting bug again.

Knitting a Cushion Cover

With the degree over I needed an project to channel allllll my creative essence into. I love knitting, and fancied some knitted cushion covers. Got some lovely cerise wool and here's the beginnings :D I'm a bit of a novice knitter so nothing too technical, pattern came from a book called home by Debbie Bliss (978 0091 903 596) There are some lovely little projects in there and they are all quite contemporary in look.
