Sssh, I’ve managed to get internet access in my flat by dint of an unsecured wifi somewhere in the vicinity. Sky are apparently coming this weekend but I’ve given up holding my breath. Instead, here have some of the things I’ve made recently(ish) and can now post photos of.

First up, a necklace. It’s double-stranded and the beads are a mix of artificial pearls and some vintage jet beads. There’s a set of earrings to match.

I’m very pleased with this necklace, I needed something to go with my work Christmas party outfit and ended up making the set in one night, after poking about in my bead boxes and experimenting with the stranding.

I also did some stitchmarker commissions and now that both sets have been received, I can post pictures. Hooray! Set #1 was a set of eight using some lovely navy (the flash makes them look purple) scrunchy beads and some beautiful yellow-blue glass beads and set #2 was a set of six, made using Czech glass beads in shades of blue.

Knitting wise, I’m doing some stash busting at the moment, so my current on-the-needles project is the single cable scarf from One Skein. It’s an easy cable pattern (eight lines, so easy to memorise!) and it’s using up two skeins of a worsted weight purple wool I picked up from the bargain bin at Stash. It’s very pretty and I shall take photos soon.

Once that’s done, I need to get a couple baby knits done for impending cousin and some more stash busting in the shape of a One Skein Wonder in some grey DK that’s been lurking in my stash for awhile.

And hopefully, there won’t be such a gap between posts in the future!
