continuing with the batwing jumper, the basic yarn is a fine black thread with a second fine thread of black boucle and I am using tension 7 to get the desired effect.It is 2rows of knitting and two rows of weaving with a 4ply boucle  repeating this 4 times and then using an astracan yarn for 2 rows.It gives a break of solid boucle to have the astracan threads every 8th row. It is intended for a friend .
I have done a wallhanging called "Love in the Myth"which is hanging in the Willunga "Off the Slate" gallery. It is done with recycled materials but the backing is a lovely fairisle pattern in reds and dark blues, so it could be hung with the knitted part on display.It can also be rolled up and seen as a scroll.I hope to have some photos soon to display the work I do.
