Flea Market Finds

This morning I went over to a local town to wonder around their flea market and charity shops. My TAD is to photographs some of the things I bought.
Three Hornsea Pottery cannisters from the 1970's, six skeins of cream wool, a stoneware jar to put pork dripping in (we will never see the likes of that again!) and four metal teethed zips (to make flowers from). Don't you just love the randomness of it?

Blue Bird of Happiness Chick!

I knitted a Blue Bird of Happiness Chick today. If you want to knit one of these for Easter, I have a free pattern for a knitted chick containing a creme egg  on my website

Knitted Red Cotton Necklace

I'm knitting a plain red necklace in cotton yarn, it's making my fingers hurt! I don't find cotton yarn as easy to knit with as wool, it doesn't have the same amount of 'give', especially when knitting fiddly items on DPNs. I am using larger needles, than I would normally, the cotton is quite thick, the beads are turning out to be quite substantial, good job I like a statement!

Finishing of a Knitted Bead Necklace

Today I'm finishing off a commission, a knitted bead necklace. The free pattern is my own and if you want to try it, it's on Ravelry under Anjie's knitted bead necklace and /www.pompomemporium.com
