Lace and more lace

I found some gorgeous dark blue fabric with alliums on in the patchwork shop in Rincon de la Victoria. I could see hedgerow flowers just before night fell. I restricted myself to just using lace for the foreground. Some of the lace was bought in Spain. I have called it "The Gloaming". I think I will do more like this.

 

 

 

A new great-neice

I am really enjoying having a baby girl to knit for. Kevin's Mum and I loved this stitch pattern. She had knittied jumpers from it in the 1940's and continued in later years. I discovered it as a child's pattern and knitted it first in 1978. Katie had one in yellow when she was little. I have also used it for scarves.

 

I was thrilled to find this mini version. I knitted it in the Drops baby yarn. I was so pleased with the end result that I knitted it in a larger size in red.
