And two winners of the Green Tea Scarf Pattern are...
Jess from Graceful Rose Designs and Ana (fisiwoman)
If you could please check your emails - I have sent you your free patterns!
Thanks very much to everyone who entered and for all your helpful ideas!
This blog has been very quiet lately because life has been busy, but there will be lots more coming up soon!
We're heading into Winter here in Australia - so I've been working on a knitting pattern for this Green Tea scarf.
I wanted a warm but not too thick scarf for myself, and this is what I came up with. It's a simple cable pattern waith a colour change in the centre.
$2.00 US
The pattern is for sale on ETSY and RAVELRY and the scarf itself will be in my Etsy shop in the next few days.
Knitting pattern for those wanting to try some easy cables. If you find you’re really struggling, you can decide not to add in the colour change, and you’ll still have a lovely plait/cable scarf.
GIVEAWAY - Green Tea Scarf Knitting Pattern
To celebrate I thought I'd give away two free copies of the new pattern

Yarn
This pattern does not depend on any particular yarn, each will bring its own texture and feel to the scarf - Saying that, you probably want 10-12 ply to make the scarf thick enough to wear.

Oh no - I just saw this image and realised my Matt Smith plushie doesn't have suspenders! So now I've added some, and added them to the pattern too
Not quite in time for the new series but close enough! A new pattern for Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor! I loved the new episode :) and wanted to have this out to celebrate.
Download the pattern from the Patterns page as part of the Mini Doctor Who's pattern.
I know the shirt colour is wrong, but there weren't many pics out when I first started the plushie so wasn't sure what was to be the final costume. The pattern has the correct pinky-red colour.
I've also just finished listening to BigFinish's UNIT series with David Tennant in the final episode - great stuff!
So here's a pic of Matt taking over the role - awww
