Very little actual ironing goes on! So, what's on my ironing board at the moment:
From left to right:
I'm making a blouse for F from some spotty purple fabric using the Oliver and S music class blouse and skirt pattern. I've made the skirt a couple of times before, but never the blouse - I'm making the size 10, have added a couple of inches to the length and intend to sew some shirring elastic around the sleeves on Fs request after her seeing that on a top I made for myself.
There's also a yarn label for Creative Bubble by Rico Design. I had one ball of this to try making washing up tribbles from, it was successful so the yarn label is around as I went looking for some more.
Next is my Geo Yoked Fair Isle Sweater by Di Gilpin. I received the pattern and yarn for this from D for my birthday last year after seeing it (and trying it on) at Di Gilpin's stand at Yarndale. It's in a bag as I'm having to pause as I have run out of the main colour - I don't need a lot more as it's mostly just the yoke to do, and Di has been very helpful in finding another ball for me, so hopefully it won't be in the bag for long.
In the red folder is the paperwork for the first assessment piece I submitted to City and Guilds and which I intend to work into a publishable pattern. At the moment I'm rewriting the charts from excel into Stitchmastery before I get the pattern into shape and then look for a couple of test knitters.
I'm off to the Swiss Yarn Festival tomorrow - I wonder if I'll find any goodies.
