The bee is a vintage embroidered pillow. The project bag is Ysolda’s – so cute isn’t it? Her brother is the artist. I got mine long long ago, but I remember they were still available just before Christmas.
Well this is a work in progress. The yarn is Jamieson’s DK. Not sure of the colors off the top of my head. I was making up the motifs as I went…I WILL write up the pattern once it becomes something!
oh iso want to make a fair isle blanket maybe baby size?? I would love to use your design from this sample if you had it….I have also thought of using the design from fromt of vogue cowl??
what do you think??

Ok Audrey! Just what I need – a kick in the pants to get this pattern released. I wish I had brownies to help me do all the backlogged work I have!
