Ella Sweater

I hate discovering yarn when it has been retired. But hey what can you do.

A Sirdar Ella Jumper form a 90s pattern.

Patons  PBN C 4955

I manage to find the complete series of similar patterns.

White Sweater

Boys Sweater 2-3 years

Acrylic yarn with blue smiley buttons.

Made after a 1950s vintage pattern.

I will probably put it up for sale, once I get round to do it.

Pink Sweater

A sweater I made for myself using a vintage pattern.

Patons PBN C 4958

I used YarnArt Jeans, which is a very soft cotton/acrylic mix yarn.

It made quite a suitable replacement.

Sorry about the picture quality, but it was cloudy.

Kauni Lace Shawl

I found this yarn on eBay (NatLiss)

The seller is from Latvia and has an Etsy store too.

The yarn arrived within a week.

It's lace weight and will cut into your finger. 

Anyway, the pattern is out off TOPP Lacetraume called Iris

It didn't make a full-size shawl as in the book.

The shawl can be purchased here
