finishedobject – After This Row

Wholly Handspun

It was only a matter of time before I got brave enough to make something entirely from scratch.

The eccentric knitwear designer Stephen West launches a shawl pattern as a Mystery Knitalong (MKAL) every October.

For some reason, socks have long eluded me as a knitter.

Over the last year I’ve amassed a hodgepodge of scraps, half-finished skeins, and not enough of a single colour to knit anything substantial.

Do you ever just look at a ball of yarn and know exactly what you want it to become?

My mother-in-law gifted me the Knitted Animal Friends pattern book for Christmas and I was immediately smitten by the adorable dolls I could make.
