Rocking chair

I finally finished re-upholstering the rocking chair!  I still need to give the woodwork some love - preferably a light sand and then waxing, but the cloth work is all finished.  It's been far too many years in the doing, but I now have a new sewing machine, so finished it all off this week.

Another completion!

I have knitted another garment for myself. I didn't use a direct pattern for this one, but took the dimensioning from another pattern, and decided to do it in full cabling.  The yarn was a bamboo viscose/cotton mix and I knitted it mainly on 3.25mm needles.  I'm pleased with all but the transition from button bands to collar - but more practice and I'll get there.
