Knittery and Stitchery and Stuff

Thank-you Dunnock.

Glittery wired ribbon wiv Peacock Fevvers.

It will make an extravagant bow/trim, & the navy in the ‘eye’ should pull it together with the existing band.

And a mix of stitching and glue will hold it firmly in place

Love it!

Having looked at the bed spaces in certain establishments in Pompeii, I decided that, despite my natural padding, considerably bigger cushions would be required…

Tiger Lily Crafts have reduced haberdashery & interesting yarn on their site ATM. It’s a very small online business, with lovely things, & free postage in the UK.

I see that the Knitted Map of Ambridge is now on The Archers page at the BBC, if anyone would like a look.

I am making a bit of a fuss for my hat

3 loops gathered together and tucked into a knot

The whole piece to attach to the navy band of the hat

The two tails to appear to float mid air

The loops are like a cockade in that they are up the side of the hat

The only question is

Feathers or not?

I feel they can be added in due course if I want them

Until then less is more…

Adding is easier than removing. Especially where fevvers are concerned.

A question for knitters and general garment experts alike, something that has long puzzled me: when is a sweater a jumper, and vice versa.

I mean, jumper…

and sweater…

It defeats me.

As far as I know they are two words for the same sort of garment.

That is what I sort-of-thought, and that some people tend to use one word and some the other. But I always wondered and then noticed that the two examples above are patterns produced by the same company and designed by the same designer, yet one is described as a jumper and the other as a sweater. It seems odd, if there is no difference.
