.... well, actually, turned out better than I'd hoped! This is the latest published creation (only one more to go, at the moment). This was the second to be made in the "Spicy" colourway of Sirdar Calico and I was very pleased with how it turned out.
The bootees are from a really cute pattern by Irene Strange, in last months' Inside Crochet. Made from some generic acrylic 4ply in the stash.
And the jacket is, of couse, a BSJ. This was made from King Cole Mirage. I fell in love with the yarn when I saw it and felt compelled to buy a ball. I'm glad that I've put it to good use.
Lah Lah has been knitting since she was four(many, many years ago...) and so is enjoying the current trendy image that the craft has - but she'll still be knitting when it's no longer cool.
