Recent knitting FO

Very pleased that it's finally finished!






Islamic pattern from Rutt Islamic pattern from Rutt

Finally finished, July 08!
Very slow colourwork project, from a pattern in Rutt's history of hand knitting, graphed by someone on HistoricKnit yahoogroup.
Shown here while blocking, w/ 20p piece for scale.
It's going to be a very small, delicate pouch for moi.
It qualifies as 3Rs because all the yarn is from stash, and the white is a remaindered cone of mixed wool fibre.
The pink is a handspun gift. The maroon is a single ply of a 2-ply that I 'unspun' to try it as a knitting yarn.
Getting consistent tension w/ colourwork remains my main problem! that, and following a detailed pattern.
