My first commission:-)

When mum and dad were here last week my dad asked me if I would make them a trivet for the teapot. Their kitchen is done in blue and yellow, and the only suitable roving I had was a lovely bit of variegated blue/turquoise Falkland from Babylonglegs that I bought at Rav Day last year, and a tiny bit of yellow. Here it is laid out, I added some bits of silk fibre in blue under the top layer that does show through subtly.

It started off about 30cm and has shrunk down (with a bit of trimming to neaten) to about 19cm. Here is is drying in the garden in yesterday's sunshine.

And it fits!
