Some New Designs

Thursday 21^st January 2016

I want to show you these. There are three Thronchos which I began designing for my 2016 workshops and which seem to have taken on a life of their own.  This collection is in standard chunky, DK and 4 ply yarns.  I am now working on three further designs for 2017.  Meanwhile these three are all featured in my Court Cottage Thronchos Workshops in 2016 all of which are full, but as I do have a small waiting list, I may offer an extra date – let me know if you’d be interested. This is the chunky shoulder-wrap buttoned Throncho, which can be worn in two ways:   Here is the 4 ply beaded lace Throncho: And here is the lace rib DK Throncho: If, as I hope, these workshops go well, aside from offering a new date or dates, I may design three more for 2017.  These are just a real joy to knit and to wear.  Incredibly versatile, practical and so flattering. May I now introduce you to a little beaded number I have been working on? This has a specific design home awaiting.  It is not suitable for workshops as it is so very large-scale.  But more of that later… And finally for now, here is a Hollywood-inspired cape trimmed with fur-yarn.  I love this very much and once you slip it on, you do come over all Judy Garland:
