Two soft, light scarves


I've completed a pair of scarves in a very yummy Colinette hand-dyed mohair and Welsh wool yarn - it's such a pleasure to knit with this yarn, and I'm pleased with the way these have turned out. The colourways are described as 'dark jacob' and 'banwy'. When you look at this yarn, the range of shades and colours is just amazing. The grey green yarn is shot through with flashes of umber, rust, charcoal, blue grey, deep blue, deep blue green, pale lime, pale yellow green. The red and white colourway contains violet blue, deep blue, deep red-brown, umber, orange, pink and white. These are very beautifully designed yarns - very soft and lightweight - and I'm planning to knit more with them!
The two scarves are now in my etsy shop and you can see them at https://www.etsy.com/listing/100410468/hand-knit-scarf-shades-of-grey-green and https://www.etsy.com/listing/100465091/hand-knit-scarf-shades-of-orange-white

Striped scarf

Here's my latest - a very stripy scarf in a German mostly wool blend. It was great fun knitting this and seeing the colour changes - rather addictive and hard to stop! This is 5 inches x 75 inches (12 1/2 x 190 cm), so it's useful for winding round and round your neck, and it's gone into my Etsy shop. You can see all the details at http://www.etsy.com/listing/96691884/hand-knit-scarf-striped-scarf-wool-long

Windswept flames

After making my autumnal treasury, I painted this impression of a hillside bonfire with windswept flames. It's an acrylic painting, 8 x 10 inches, on canvas board, and I used acrylic texture medium to give a rough and scratched surface. You can see this painting at http://www.etsy.com/listing/81292849/windswept-flame-autumn-bonfire-original

Green abstract, crimson abstract


My two latest paintings are a couple of gestural abstracts in heavy impasto oil paint, with scratched lines in the more thinly painted areas. I just wanted an area of gorgeous colour. These are on 5 x 7 canvas boards, and you can see them at http://www.etsy.com/listing/80584594/green-abstract-original-oil-painting-5x7 and http://www.etsy.com/listing/80539291/crimson-abstract-original-oil-painting
