Martha #2...

2006_0719martha0010_2I have finally finished Martha !...  I can't remember now when I started it but it seems a long, long time ago...

It is the first time I have knitted the same pattern twice, but I had so much wear out of my first un-beaded  version, that I knew a second Martha would be a success.  I certainly don't regret it, but I don't think I will be knitting with beads for a while...

Week-end read...

Heartfelt_book_2d_and_3d_2 One sleeve to go on Martha!...  I don't think I have ever been that slow before on a project... It must be all those beads....

Thank you for all your votes on my previous post. I think Maggie Tweed must have won by a tiny margin, but your comments showed that you liked all the patterns in equal measures...  Just when I was about to make up my mind, the postman brought me Kim Hargreaves' new book.  What a gem!...

I must say here that this book has exceeded all my expectations.  The pictures are beautiful and the designs absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Ms Hargreaves, I sincerely hope this book won't be the only one...

My top favourites (it doesn't exclude others in the book...):
