I realise that I showed you this recent bag a couple of days ago but I couldn't resist a close up today (it was semi hidden in the previous photo), I just love, love, love the colours!
So, whilst in the Autumn colours mode I photographed my socks. These are ones that I knitted last year, so they are a bit worn, however I love this random wool and having brought them out of Summer hibernation am now inspired to get the four needles out again and make some more - there's some amazing yarn out there that gives a sort of fair isle design from the one continuous strand.
And here is a scarf in another random yarn that I just finished today, I was very happy with the result because it was so quick and easy and it only cost me £1.45.
Here are the instructions so that you can all make one (if you like knitting of course). It's a double knitting yarn and I used 6.5mm needles but it will work for any yarn with different needles - just experiment!
Cast on 40 stitches
1st row: knit 2, (knit 2 tog) 3 times, (yarn over, knit 1) 6 times, (knit 2 tog) 6 times, (yarn over, knit 1) 6 times, (knit 2 tog) 3 times, knit 2.
2nd row: purl a row
3rd row: knit a row
4th row: purl a row
Repeat these 4 rows until you have the length you require then bind off with a knit row.
I know the 1st row looks a bit tricky but it's quite straight forward and it makes sense to you very quickly. Do have a go.
