No more commissions



Somehow I have lost a lot of the pictures of commissions I have done-the joys of transferring from one computer to another so this is only a small selection.
I have learnt a lot making things I never would have thought of making. To say I went beyond my comfort zone is an understatement. But the fact of the matter is that is is impossible to make a reasonable hourly rate. This was tragically reinforced by seeing a hand knitted scarf made in China in Asda for £5.00.
So no more. I shall concentrate on my City and Guilds Knit Design course and create knitting from my own designs. I even have a lovely new sketch book and a box of art pencils to tacky the somewhat scary art part of the course.
So I am very motivated to finish the Lady Diana Spencer sheep jumper and want that snow. Can anyone think of a nicer combination than snow, radio 4, blanket and knitting.
