Update on Lelah for Jennifer's Birthday!

Just wanted to post some photo's of my daughter wearing her Lelah top that I knit for her birthday. It fit her perfectly and she really likes it. I used the ONline Linnie Clip in Teal. It took a little less than 3 skeins and I had enough left over to knit a dishcloth.



I also knit her the Little Silk Shrug from the book Lace Style to go with it. I used Grand Opera in Teal by Nashua Knits for that and it took 2 skeins.

My details for both can be found in my Ravelry notebook...here.

Donnell's Beaded Socks!

Look at Donnell's socks she knitted in Crystal Palace Maizy and embellished with beads!

Looking good!

Ladies we have the latest book of designs from Kim Hargreaves. This beautiful softbound book contains 21 of her beautiful designs.

Kim Hargreaves began designing for Rowan at age seventeen, straight from school. She created hundreds of designs for Rowan for over twenty years. With the encouragement of her mother Kathleen she decided it was time to branch out on her own.

There will be fresh ideas introduced four times a year and they will cover a very varied range of styles from classic to funky, from chunky to delicate, from accessories to major pieces. The looks are based firmly on what is happening in fashion with attitude not age being Kim's guide-line. Some are easy to knit - others, more challenging. There is something irresistible for everyone.


Her new company is based in her home town of Holmfirth, Yorkshire. And her partner is someone with a wealth of experience in the handknitting trade - her mother Kathleen Hargreaves. They make an unbeatable professional duo. Words by Kathryn Samuel

Here are a few of her wonderful designs in "Nectar".
