Beginnings - Why Nutty Knitting.

Why Nutty Knitting I hear you ask? Well, firstly I enjoy something that they call Free Range Knitting - basically making the pattern up as you go along - and secondly, even when following a pattern my knitting often does not turn out as expected!

I am currently knitting a jacket I have knitted before. I call it my Technicoloured Rainbow Jacket. It is by Heidrun Liegmann and she called it Spring Plumage .  I knitted it on straight needles, not the circular ones recommended, added a collar and filled in the V to make it button across the front. I am really pleased with it and everybody admires it when I wear it.                            

I am making this latest one with a midnight blue background and lavender feathers so I have called it Midnight Plumage. This is it so far :-
