I’m swamped with editing work at the moment. So, in lieu of writing, I thought I’d share a recently finished object:
Welsh neckwarmer
He’s made with wool from West Yorkshire Spinners and a pattern from the book Crochet Ever After by Brenda Anderson.

/ August 21, 2015He has come out just as I planned – I did wonder whether I would be able to find yarn in just the right colours, and was lucky to be able to do so… as I said to nettyg, I did go to a real shop to select the colours, as what you see on a web site does not always look like what you get in the parcel through the post!

/ August 21, 2015I’m delighted with the scale stitch – it’s easy and quick once you get the hang of it. I did modify the design a bit (as usual), but the scales were perfect. I’m planning to use the stitch for other projects… dragon-scale gauntlets, perhaps.
