Two finished projects!

Two projects I've just finished are a knitted alpaca cushion worked in natural colours in the traditional patchwork log cabin pattern, and an acrylic on canvas - "Poppies". This is my second attempt at painting and my first on canvas. Both these projects are for my daughter's house!

The cushion is knitted on 2 needles in one piece starting with the middle square. Stitches are then picked up along the side of the square (grey) and knitted. Then stitches are picked up down the side of the grey and the middle square (light fawn) and knitted, and so on .......

From L toR this is Adrian, Clancy, Latte and Brian. The kids of 2006! They are 10 days old here.

This might be a good oportunity to add some pictures of previous projects made out of handspun alpaca.

Hi Judy,

Are the kids the type of goats you can gather wool from? Great job on the pillow and sweaters.
