As a lot of you know I run a small craft business from my smallholding (helps pay for winter feed)
Well I have been doing winter warmers like the ones below you can find my little shop on http://www.folksy.com/shops/cutletcountrycraft (http://www.folksy.com/shops/cutletcountrycraft)

-
Nor me. I had to copy and paste it.
-
just modified it a bit, I have that many to remember I sometimes get them a tad confuddled
-
Another new cowl and this one does have matching wristwarmers

Beautiful colour. wish I wasn't so skint. :(
-
they are lovely. do u hand knit or machine(if thats right term?)
do u do childrens sizes in ur wrist warmers?
-
I hand knit everything and yes I can do childrens sizes I just need to know the size around the hand and length required. I have just finished a lovely pair of royal blue wristwarmers for a 10 year old horse fanatic
-
These are really nice - you must have been busy with those needles!
-
ellisr - may I pick your brains please - Have two different lots of dk wool but not interesting colours but I think if I knit them together they will work - what size needles should I use please. Want to make a scarf. Thanks in anticipation - Jan
-
I would go for a size 10mm and knit them together depending on the width of scarf I would try 15-20 sticthes.
This cowl is knit with brown and beige chunky on size 12mm
-
Thanks v much - my wool is electric blue and a glittery purple/blue/green fluffy type - sounds odd but I hope it will look ok - didnt cost anything so nothing to lose :wave:
-
You can always pull it out if it doesn't. It shouls take approx 200grams 2x 100grams to make a decent size scarf. If ou want to do a cowl then it will be about 30-40 stitches (as it is shorter but wider) Knit it in the straight then join then ends so you have a nice circle

hmm you may just have solved my SWMBO xmas present dilema, just need to wait for pay day.

Just to let everyone know I am doing an artisans fair next saturday (3rd December) and all stock will be going with me. If you fancy anything please PM me and I'll put it to oneside or alternatively I can take custom orders but must have them before friday so I can make them and post before xmas
-
Well I never got to the fair as OH was poorly but I do have some extreme knitted rugs/blankets for sale piccies will follow this evening.
I can custom make the size if anyone would like one, also I can back it for use as a floor rug
-
2 rugs I have for sale
