Hand Knitted Botanical Lace Shawl

Hand Knitted Botanical Lace Shawl for self, made with Juniper Moon Farm Findley Extrafine Merino Wool & Mulberry Silk Blend in colours tamarindspirit & chocochino
Took me 232 hours approximately over the last 2 months to knit. Very happy with how it turned out. Very soft, cozy, warm & comfortable.

Original pattern Botanical Lace Wrap by Purl Soho designer Jake Canton. Changed the yarn, knitting needle size & doubled the pattern repeats to make it a Shawl instead of a wrap.

Knitted Balaclavas & Crochet Heads

Knitted Balaclavas & Crochet Heads Custom-made for a client. The top row shows the drawings from the client with slight variations made as I went along to implement them in the final product. The black & white diamond balaclava underwent the maximum change as can be seen in the 3rd picture.

Knitted Balaclavas made for client in February this year. The top row shows his drawings & the bottom two my work. Had to chart the pattern on graph paper & do.. was fun to work out the exact placement of eye holes, wonky nose, wonky face 😊. Made with stylecraft life dk yarn (25% wool & 75% premium acrylic) 

Crochet Heads custom made for client last month to match some of the balaclavas. Made with cotton yarn. 

This is the balaclava that underwent the most change from design stage to implementation.
