Tania's been a student since about the spring.  She came along to Knitting SOS in October with a nearly knitted jumper and I taught her the joys of professional finishing. 

Tania is one of my 'creative' knitters.  I've never known her to listen to a pattern all the way through, she tends to go off in a flight of fancy whilst knitting, and this leads to some lovely personalised garments.  Tania's way of knitting is very brave and unique - just like her! 

She is unable to wear any animal fibres (she's allergic to anything with a soul apparently!) so constantly has to knits gauges and guess work out of inexpensive acrylics.  This hasn't stopped her making some very classy clobber.  So take a leaf out of Tania's book: if you want that pattern, in a different yarn, with a shorter neck line, different colour and longer length...go for it!

 

 

The name of the pattern is: Borealis Sweater
Source is from the book: Twinkle's Weekend Knits 
Designer is: Wenlan Chia

Harriot Lane Fox, journalist for The Telegraph, came to me for one class - for research purposes only of course(!)  A few days later, she sends me this photo.  As seen in the Sunday Telegraph, 2nd Nov08 *flicks hair pretentiously* Kiss  Look out for the article on the Press page.

September Knitting SOS's Knitter of the Month, Alex, sent me this photo.  He's knitting the Rainy Day Scarf using his prize yarn.  I'm guessing it's for his missus it matches the colour of her eyes...so romantic!

Pattern: Rainy Day Scarf

If there was a prize for Best Travelled Knitting, it would go to Mahmuda for knitting her niece a hat and bootie set whilst travelling to Thailand, Cambodia, Switzerland, Rome, Brussels, and finished off on a long train journey from Paris to the South of France.  During a very rainy April earlier this year, Mahmuda was my star student during some classes I taught at All the Fun of the Fair.

Here's her knitting modelled by petite new born niece, Emily.  I'm loving the Nappy 'n' Knitwear look!
