I have the picture!

While on my way to attend to something this morning, my dear friend Lisa stopped and said,"I have something for you". This is what she passed me
Looking good in the navy seed stitch guernsey of Briggs & Little wool.
My project is now complete. Hopefully before the shoot of the Grand Seduction is complete I will get to meet this man (Brendan Gleeson).

Completed!



The second sweater for "The Grand Seduction" is completed and delivered. If I do say so myself the pattern looked great in Briggs & Little washed white. Would have liked to have had more pictures but couldn't find the right hanger or place to get some good shots before the sweater was picked up. Oh well! Now on to other projects, more stash busting and a little project for my "son"-in-law.

The second sweater is complete.


 I need someone to try it on so I can take a good picture or a very large hanger. Stay tuned for more pictures.

La Grand Scarf

First it was the Triffy Collection following Young Triffies Been Made Away With, now they are filming The Grand Seduction and my thinking cap went on! After knitting the sweater that actor Brendan Gleeson is weating I thought what can I now knit?? As my previous blog started I had these huge (grand) needles and a need to "stash" bust, so La Grand Scarf was created.

The texture is surprisingly very soft.

The Grand Seduction

It has been a busy and frustrating couple of weeks!! I was asked by Peggy Hogan to knit a sweater for one of the actors of the movie The Grand Seduction being filmed in our area over the next few months. A couple of names were given as to who would wear this sweater but I am still not sure. Will it be

The knitting of this garment was a challenge, no pattern, only pictures of guernseys in black and white from old books and a very few measurements. After completing and a few adjustments it is ready for the mysterious actor to wear.
