I crocheted this vest from alpaca I had spun . It is worked up and down from a central horizontal panel - a design I contrived from several patterns I liked. Then I knitted the hat from some of the leftover wool. The photograph flatters neither me nor the vest!

Bag made from handwoven recycled sari silk, with hand dyed silk warp.
I made this large one and then several small ones as phone/ipod bags - but these all sold quickly at our recent exhibition, before I remembered to photograph them.
