I failed to get a birthday present to my sister this summer. When I called (on her birthday) to ask what she wanted, she had just seen pics of my knitted Twiggy Tweedish bag and said she wated one of them, please.
I asked what colours, and she said she liked my Jaywalker socks on Ravelry. (She’s stalking me).
They, of course, are made from a pre-dyed, self-striping yarn. But I had an inspiration.
I could buy all the colours in the yarn, look at the pattern, and recreate it in worsted.
So I did.
I’m really with pleased how it’s coming along.

May I just say how gorgeous it is, and I can barely conceive of knitting something so lovely, and trusting it to the felting process…that must ave been hard! And yet, felted, it’s even lovelier (and more practical, which I suppose is why you did it!)
Thank you very much!
I must just add, I use this all the time at the moment. It is so fab.
