Ditsybeads and knitted jumpers

I made a few Ditsybeads. These are Double Helix Rhea Light and Theia, enacsed in Effetre Super Clear 006 and decorated with flowers in Effetre White 204 and CiM Marigold.

At the time of typing I have some pendants left and one pair of the purple ones.

There's also a lone light sapphire blue pendant. The blue used here is Effetre Dark Blue 056.

The beads and pendants are available in my shop.

In knitting news...

I finally got round to taking some photos of the three jumpers I've knitted over the last couple of months.

Fear not, the jumpers were only on hangers for the photographs - when they're not being worn they are folded, not hung.

The porridge-coloured jumper with the cabled yoke is Sculpt by Unwind Knitwear. 

I absolutely loved knitting this and I've worn it a lot since I finished it before Christmas. The yarn is Drops Flora in shade 22 White Fog. The yarn is a wool and alpaca mix and although it's only 4ply it's nice and warm.

The green one is my current favourite jumper because it's just so smooshy and cosy to wear. The pattern is Urban Romance by Kutova Kika from her brilliant book Knits to Wear. It has a lacy front and back and floompy balloon sleeves with a honeycomb cable pattern.

I knitted the jumper in Drops Daisy in shade 17 Moss Green held together with one strand of Drops Kid Silk in shade 19 Dark Green. This merino and mohair mix gives a wonderfully fluffy, airy fabric that is just so nice to wear. I adore it.

The plain lilac-coloured jumper is another one from Kutova Kika's Knits to Wear and the pattern is called Simple Things. It's an oversized, snuggly jumper and I've got it on as I type.

I knitted the jumper with about fourteen inches of positive ease so it's proper roomy and comfy. This one is knitted in Drops Daisy in shade 07 Sweet Orchid and the colour reminds me of Parma Violets.

I currently have nothing on my needles. Chris has asked me to knit him a jumper so I've got to order the wool for that. I think I might cast on a pair of socks in the meantime because you can never have too many socks, can you?

I must away into the rain now to go and post some beads. See you soon!
