Scissor keeper

I picked up this kit for an embroidered "scissor keeper" at the Stitch and Knit Show at Alexandria Palace last month. It turned out really pretty!

I can recommend going to www.suehawkins.com where you can find lots of kits like this.

Mittens from woolly jumper (norgetröja)



I made these woolly mittens from an old Norwegian jumper that I haven't used for 20 years. It was a bit of an improvisation, and I didn't quite get the seem allowance right, therefore they look a bit clumsy.

I am also making a skirt from the rest of the jumper, but that is still under construction.
