Liquorice Delights!

-
a little touch of fair isle
as a "palate cleanser" in preparation for my next "big" project!
an adorable design by Carol Meldrum
in Felted Tweed and Rowan Tweed

 Sheil Wrist Warmers, a free pattern on the Rowan web site!
(I shopped my stash and chose these shades, with no inspiration in mind)

The first one knit up really fast
and it seemed like no time at all and they were done!

(The pattern calls for them to be knit flat, then seamed.
I knit them in the round, on 4 double pointed needles!)

I realized that for some bizarre reason,
they reminded me of Liquorice Allsorts :)
How could I resist?
Seems purple is a popular shade!

Nails by Jamberry!
These are the "Reminisce" design and I sort of love them!

Have you tried Jamberry Wraps?
If you love having your nails done, but don't like the muss,
fuss and fumes of regular nail polish, you really need to try Jamberry!

You do them yourself, at home!

If you want to give Jamberry a try,
Renee is my Jamberry rep
and she'll fix you up, doesn't matter where you are :)
(I am in no way affiliated to Jamberry
except as a happy Jamberry user ! )

What's that on the mug you ask?

"She is too fond of books, &
 it has turned her brain."

 Time to cast on my main summer project!
More about that next time!

 Until then,

 Happy Knitting!

 Anne,
with Lackie and Daisy at her feet :)

    Beautiful wrist warmers, Anne. You're right, they look just like liquorice allsorts! I'm going to tell my youngest daughter abut the Jamberry wraps. The smells at the nail salon bother her, so this might be a good alternative.

      Kristie, if she likes to have her nails done, but hates the smell....Jamberry wraps are for her :) These wrist warmers are so cute, I think I might have to make some more! Very envious here of your spring weather out there...you guys get a lot of rain though, that would kill me...my head hates rainy days :)

    Those wrist warmers are really cute and happy, Anne.

    I couldn't find the post where you wrote about this book you were listening to, so I will say thank you for sharing in this post. I already read all three books in the "A Novel of the Others" series by Anne Bishop; loved them all!

    Please share with us whatever else you are reading, listening too while knitting. :)

    The pattern is no longer available on the Rowan site. Could you publish it so it is visible, please? (Rosemary)

Rainshadow Hanging Garden Stole sample beaded bracelets for the workshop! examples of how colour and beads work together! Rolling Thunder Gauntlets Fluency Gloves Dryad, by Sivia Harding for Twist Collective, Winter 2009 a personal favourite right now :) Lumen, by Sivia Harding for Brooklyn Tweed's Wool People 4! Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic. When I did some research on line, I was intrigued by her beaded knits and signed up right away! "Bead Whimsey" did not disappoint! Sivia brought so many examples of her beaded knits. We talked about the different beads available out in the bead wor

Happy New Year!  I really fell out of communication here and on youtube with my 2022 Advent Knit challenge, didn’t I? Well, here are the 3 videos that detail what I had planned, how I progressed and while I didn’t finish as per the schedule I’d set myself….it is finished and I’m happy! This first video details the plan…..and also has updates on my sock knitting. This video was my week 1 update….and then, well, things all got complicated and I disappeared until well, right now! February 17, 2023! Yes, I’ve finished the gorgeousWonderland Shawl by Chloe Thurlow! It’s such an effective design - easy intarsia blocks broken up with a horizontal line…..and finished off with vertical crochet or embroidered lines for that tartan look! Links : Dovecot Studios, Edinburg -  Dovecot Rowan Connect -  Rowan Connect My Ravelry Project Page -  LifeLackaDaisiCal Next time I’ll be looking at the Rowan Magazine 73 - Spring Summer 2023!
