I’m off to a good start with the scarf. The Elenya yarn is delightful to use and the pattern is easy to remember. I’m working alternate stripes of each colour and they’re blending very nicely.

My Three Irish Girls Stash of Elenya 50%Alpaca/50%Merino. When I saw the Multi-colourway was called Fiona I just had to have it
I also ordered a matching cerise and pumpkin orange.
My plan was to use it for a felted project… but it’s absolutely perfect for the Feather & Fan scarf I’m trying out from [...]

Finn’s felted stocking
Originally uploaded by fiona-kelly
Eek! Slightly more of a colour run when it felted than I expected. The red isn’t so Christmassy and the cream… well it’s now more of a definite pink… even the snowman is the same shade (i’m not even going to bother photographing that). On the plus side the fringing [...]

This is the snowman so far for finn’s stocking. It’s also in the machine and I’ll add the rest of his details when I sew him into place.

I’m making fast progress with Finns Christmas Stocking now… Just a bit more to do height wise, then the fringed top and I think the toe section is a bit short so I need to re-do that part. I just have to untangle my ball of cream merino DK that Finn got hold of before [...]

We managed to make it up to Edinburgh in one go on Thursday after all as Finn was loving being in the big hire car! The journey up took us about 9 1/2 hours… including quite a few long breaks & wasn’t too bad at all. We’re loving being back in Scotland again & even [...]

I’m busy typing up the pattern.. so I’m now setting a closing date for the competition to name him/her… [...]
