Mosaic Blanket

This was started in 2006. It was the first project I tried intarsia. It is about two thirds completed but has remained untouched for years. I will at some point pick it back up again, but what I have already stitched together I want to redo as I'm not happy with the stitching I've done and the yarn used can be clearly seen in places and it annoys me.








Pink Sweater

I think this commenced in early 2007 and then again in 2009. I made it for myself (twice) as I lost a lot of weight inbetween starting it and picking up up again after a number of months not knitting anything. I had to go from the 2nd to largest size, down to the smallest size and it is really still on the very large side on me now.

Anyway some photos of the progress...










I loved how quickly this chunky weight yarn knitted up. The yarn was purchased on ebay for around £4 I think.
