I am so, so happy that I found your blog. I don't know if you remember but I told you some time ago, that because of MS I had given up knitting. But your work inspired me to start again. What a revelation...all the wonderful yarns now available! So far I have knitted 3 handbags (all of which have been grabbed by relatives. I've also knitted a black and white muff, (the yarn looks just like fur) and I will use it when I wear my black velvet cloak this winter. (I'm an old goth/hippy) I'm now doing a shawl (as a new great grandmother I obviously need one. lol) And I have some goefeous amethyist and silver yarn to make an evening jacket. I hope I'll be able to hang on to these latest projects. (I'll have to start selling them soon lol) But thank you so much. I've gained so much pleasure from rediscovering knitting, and it's all down to you!
Thank you, Lesley! I am so happy to hear your results. Of course you must keep on knitting. If the things you've made so far have been snatched up immediately by relatives, then they are indeed sale-able! Do it!
Do you have a flickr or picasa account where you can post photos online? I'd love to see YOUR work.
