When I was updating the blog and looking around the site I saw this lovely jumper and I had to put it here on this page again! I remember who ordered this jumper and they chose the colours and the pattern. While it was awaiting collection, another person came into the shop and ordered a similar one. They could not have this one of course, as it was an order, so they, independently of the original order, asked for a similar one! Lovely. One wonders whether these two jumpers will ever meet each other? It is unlikely, given where the wearers live ... but one never knows! On with the knitting!

REPLICATION IN PROGRESS ...
Here you can see the original needlework for the stool, on the right, and on the left, the start of the replication. I have done a lot more since then and will post more photographs later ... but this will give you an idea of the finished product, in relation to the original. It is certainly growing on me! This is not surprising, given the time I have spent so far! On with the needlework ...
TAPESTRY SEAT FOR A STOOL TO BE REPLICATED!
A customer asked for the needlework for this stool to be replicated. Can this be done? Well, the answer is, "Yes of course!!!" So I have made a start, see above for the progress so far!!! The original colours had faded, in the extreme. The client wanted the faded colours rather than the original bright lime greens, vivid purples and other psychedelic colours! Of course either was possible!

BEANIES GALORE ....
Soon I will add some photographs of a selection of Beanies hot from the needles of Mr. Maxwell Hunt. The weather is quite cold in Tasmania at the moment, so a Beanie is a necessary fashion accessory! Why not visit us in Oatlands, on the Heritage Highway and look at the full selection? Or email Mr. Maxwell Hunt and discuss an order. Perhaps an order of a Beanie and matching gloves or mittens! Or both!!! Make a statement and be sartorially noticed. All is possible! On with the knitting!
THIS CHILD'S REINDEER JUMPER WAS FORGOTTEN ... BUT HERE IT IS NOW!
