Second #FiberArtClub #FiberFriday post (I promise to stop in a minute!). Yes, my favourite fabric is wool (again), but this time, knitting wool not woven fabric - specifically, Shetland wool. This is a baby jumper I made for a work colleague, using wool left over from the blanket I shared on Monday #knitting #FairIsleFriday #FiberArtCamp

For #FiberFriday during #FiberArtClub week I have chosen wool as my favourite fabric (not massively surprising as everyone else has too!). These are some of my home-sewn wool makes - as you can see, I’m also a sucker for a fancy lining! All of these are quite different fabrics - herringbone tweed on the bomber jacket, Italian cashmere deadstock with moths for the duffel coat, Loden wool on the super-thick 60’s coat and Merino wool for the tailored jacket.
#WIPWednesday for #FiberArtClub even though it's Thursday because time isn't real and I make my own rules.
It doesn't look like much but this will be a long, fitted cardigan. I'm missing cardigans that look cute in my wardrobe so hopefully this will fill the gap. No pattern. Yarn is Drops soft tweed in stone.
For #FiberArtClub #WIPWednesday I’m onto the second side of adding #blackworkembroidery plants to this hessian bag, using a great pattern from #TheSteadyThread. I’m still thinking about the next knitting project, wanting to try out some sewing projects from the Cath Kidston Sew book and wondering whether I will ever make a start on the winter coat I’ve got fabric for in the cupboard.
