Finally finished making this lovely shawl for a dear friend's first baby, from this pattern...

Blocking it out.

A Few Things I Made Last Year

A simple circle skirt, my first go at making myself clothes, I was very pleased with how it turned out.
Two blankets made from old clothes, one for my armchair and one for a one year old made from his old onesies.
And a small bag decorated with a real peacock feather for a wedding I attended.

Patchwork blanket...

252 squares cut and arranged into rows ready for sewing, it's nerve wracking but so much satisfying fun!

Been a long, long time!

The time has not been entirely wasted though, I've been learning how to sew more; I made my awesome nephew a hobbit cloak for Christmas  (which he wore the whole day, or at least until it got too warm at Grandma's house!).

I also have been lucky to have several big commissions, including twenty one tea cosies for a rainbow theme afternoon tea wedding party and a huge chunky blanket made with needles more suitable to killing vampires than knitting!

Can't take credit for the amazing waistcoat and coat but the cloak turned out well.
