Domino diamond jacket.

I completed this jacket for me on Thursday. I showed it to my little brother last week before I completed the sleeves and he said all I needed was a cowboy hat and boots after he whistled the tune from "the good, the bad and the ugly". I don't think it looks cowboyish though, I quite like it. It has taken me about a month to complete because the diamond part at the bottom takes ages to complete. Here is the original pattern. I used  a 4mm circular needle throughout.

Pink mix tunic

This is the tunic top I have been working on between other projects so it has taken a while to complete. I used under 500g of Paton's fab in pink mix. I added some beaded chains to the neck so it is slightly modified from the original pattern. I used 4mm and 3.5 mm needles.



Jacket for my son

Here is another jacket that I made for my son last month. I adapted a pattern I had used previously and modified the fairisle pattern from a pattern I sourced from dropsdesign.com.
 Here he is modelling it.





Hat and socks

I made these for my little brother's birthday back in March with some old value yarn I found in my stash. I think he was pleased. I used less than 100g on both items, both made using 4mm needles.
