Summer Sale and a winter project

Just a reminder that our Summer Sale is underway and finishes next Saturday (9th March). See the Sunspun website for details.
www.sunspun.com.au

Thought I'd share a couple of photos of what I am working on at the moment. It is "Orkney" from Rowan magazine 52, knitted in felted tweed. It is a traditional fairisle style knit and is knitting up very easily.

A "Wooly" Christmas wreath and some new fabrics

We have had a delivery of some new fabrics. These are not on the website yet as we are waiting for more of the ranges to arrive.

Phillip Jacobs L to R PJ18 Begonia Leaves Cobalt, Grey, Magenta. PJ10  Foxgloves Hot, Geranium

L to R. PJ57 Painted Daisy Turquiose,  PJ59 Banded Poppy Natural, Black, Carmine

L to R. GP132 Camellia Pink, Brown, Blue

L to R. BM36 Nets. Blue, Red

 Also, here are some photos of a Christmas wreath I made for the shop:

I used a foam wreath from Spotlight (but you can get them at other places also - Lincraft, Reject shop etc.) 1 x ball of Red Galaxy yarn (which has the sequins already in it) and 1 x ball of Zara 8 ply in a "Christmas" green. You just wind the yarn in stripes - I just carried it along at the back - and then make some pompoms and flowers (I used the Clover pompom maker for the pompoms and made the flowers by winding the wool over 3 fingers and tying a contrast yarn around the middle). Then attach the flowers and pompoms with either pins or fabric glue or a hot glue gun if you have one, pin on some extra sequins and you are done!
