M.I.A

YES it's been a hectic couple of months, so I've been Missing In Action.  but with the Christmas holidays now upon us, I've taken 5 minutes to myself, along with a touch of cleaning, which my flat was poorly in need of,  space creating, ie: taking unwanted clothes to the charity shop, and a quick trip upto Portobello Road yesterday, just to get me in the mood for Christmas. And where I found the lovely feathered ear cuff.
on returning home I knitted  this lovely little cropped tank.  This will be my Christmas gift to myself.  I'm in love with it.  :)
I've knitted it from a Chunky bamboo yarn, which is soft soft soft, and this pink is lush.

It always makes me happy

When a customer takes the time out of their day, to capture an image of them wearing an iLE AiYE garment. Yesterday Hilary sent me this cool image of her new black comfy iLE AiYE sweater, which I was so happy to receive, as I've said before it's a rare thing to see my knits being worn by someone other than me or my mum, so a surprise convo with attached pictures really makes my day. Hillary is a fine photographer taking this image herself, with a tripod and self timer. Wow.. she really is very talented. you can check out her professional work here hilaryannestephensphotography.ca/ and here http://www.flickr.com/photos/hilaryannestephens/ I'm loving her great atmospheric landscape work.

Some Chunky loose knit cowls

Having used some of this chunky yarn on my chunky winter sweaters I couldn't resist knitting up some winter cowls, so using some of the alternative shades which are waiting in the wings to become sweaters, for now they will be used in these cowls.

Some Chunky knits

I just couldn't wait any longer since my trip to Ibiza I'd been wanting to knit up this bamboo mix ivory yarn into a chunky cropped top, so yesterday I gave in to my temptations, and had to proceed. I love the yarn, the chunky warmth, and the simple style. I'll be making more in different chunky yarn mixes, and some with more coverage over the chest. :)
