Wash and Wear

The flamingo t-shirt was finished yesterday and it was with great trepidation I washed it this morning - I half expected to see three days work melt into a swirl of pink water.  However, the Inktense colours stayed fast and it looks the same now as it did before it's dunking.  For a first time, it's not too bad - perhaps next time I would plan the composition a bit better.  There were supposed to be two flamingoes on this one but I couldn't find a photo in a pose I liked for the second one, so for the time being there is just the one.  I can always paint another one in later.

Do you think this is an idea that would appeal - customised hand-painted t-shirts?  It doesn't have to be flamingoes!  If you'd like one, feel free to gt in touch.

Daisy T

Just finished this little knitted-from-the-top-down t-shirt. A very simple pattern but so flattering when worn - I last made it in heavyweight arran yarn, so adapting it to be knit in 4 ply cotton was a bit of a mathematical challenge. Luckily, it turned out the right size! Surprisingly, this top only took four and a half balls of yarn...which means I still have over five balls left to make something else.

For a bit of fun, I have crocheted some daisies and appliqued them to the front neckline. This one is just for me!
