Handknit Gallery

My winter basics of black polar fleece leggings and corduroy skirts were also planned to go with a selection of me made handknits. I made this red cowl neck jumper about two years ago, out of a yarn I purchased at Spotlight - it's a mix of wool, mohair and soya fibre. It was strange to knit with and doesn't handle the same as mohair - it's got a bit of bounce to it. I just love the cowl neck - it's flattering, but not so deep and saggy that it gets in the way (or catches too many toast crumbs from winter lunches !) This is my black version - and although a similar yarn, it knitted up quite differently. I love both of these jumpers though, and the odd idiosyncratic happening just adds to the me made charm. The cowl on the black version is more like an oversized roll neck collar - but it is still smart to wear. As you know, I have made three skirts recently out of corduroy - a straight skirt and two A-Line skirts. Straight skirt
