I’ve managed to do plenty of finishing up this week, which I am pleased about…firstly here is the pillow I made for my Mum for a birthday gift.
Little House Needleworks “Lavender Hill”
Stitched on 28c Jobelan in Bay Leaf with DMC threads
Finished as a long pillow with cotton lace trim
I have made some more progress on my “Cheryl” SAL, it’s now 3/4 done so I hope that I will now complete it my the end of the year…this is such a lovely piece to stitch and the threads are so pretty too.
And now for something a little different from me…I have finally finished my scarf, which has been an on and off knit since the start of the year…its so soft and snuggly…the light doesn’t really show the colours too well, but from the close up you can see its a multi-textured yarn with flecks of green, beige and gold running through the rusty orange colour.
Also some other knitting…washcloths for gifts :0)
4oz butter softened
6oz sugar (caster or soft brown or a mixture of both)
8oz self raising flour
2 medium eggs
2-3 medium ripe bananas mashed
Cream the sugar & butter together, beat in the eggs and add the bananas, fold in the flour then spoon into a greased and lined 2lb loaf tin. Bake in the centre of a pre-heated oven 180c for 40 minutes and the turn to 150c for a further 30 minutes…leave to cool then slice and munch!!

Beautiful gift for your mum. Your finishing is perfect. Love your knitting too. What yarn did you use for your cloths? Cake looks fab. If I cooked mine for that long it would burn on the top. Any tips? x
