There has indeed been sewing and pattern-writing going on here, including a secret project and a new pattern, but there's nothing ready to show here yet.
Instead, here are more photos of me swanning about in dodgey home-made knitwear.
I actually finished sewing this one together on the plane to the USA in May, and have worn it a lot since, but I only photographed it today. It began back here....
The pattern is a tweaked and improvised version of Teresa Dair's "Mayhem Jacket" from her fabulous Spring/Summer Knitting eBook.
This one is made in a combination of a 6-ply tencel/acrylic blend and some laceweight wool, which I happened to have in exactly the same colour (methinks I like that shade of red). I wanted to rough up the texture a bit and make it look truly desconstructed.
You can twist it around a few different ways, wear half of it inside out....
It's amazing, when you think you're being really interesting and arty and stylish, wearing a cardigan with a fascinating twist in the back...
...just how many people will tell you that you've got your cardigan all twisted up at the back.
I think I also blogged the beginning of this one (yarn-winding two shades of blue together). I machine-knitted a few huge rectangles and then took about a month to sew them together. Yesterday, I felted my new favourite jumper....
I also remembered to photograph the purple in my hair before it fades again.
