this is what I made today..I inteded to make a coat pattern but this fabric and pattern called to me.it is a sandra betzina pattern
I made it straight from the pattern
she suggests to make it close fitting ,and yes it does look nice,but I like slightly baggier stuff,the shoulders are a little long but I find when I make a knit garment if I fit the shoulders they look pinched as my shoulders are narrow and sloping,its as if I have over fittied,so I leave them a litttle long
I will wear this with the sleeves pushed up,and have more fabirc to make a skirt and perhaps a wrap...

a mobeus scarf knitted by mother to the pattern given,am having problems uploading so I hope this does not come through twice

look what you get when you change the yarn ,needle size and just play.the photo does not do this gorgeous creating justice,I get stopped all the time while people admire it
I have over a dozen and they sort of envelope your shoulders
luckily I come from a family that positively encourages play and experimentation

my sewing room taken from where the cutting table is,I forgot to say that only one leaf of the table is up at present but there is another one for when I cut out a lot at once
thank you to my friend kevin who made me the wonderful table
