I fell in love with this Harris Tweed the second I saw it and just knew it would make a stunning Tweedy Ted ...
18" Mackenzie Tweedy
Up until now, my previous Tweedy Teds have had classic three piece heads (not including their ears!) so I thought it would be fun to design a four piece centre-seam head for this particular fellow. I have designed centre seam mohair bears over the years as they provide scope for shaping - for example, if you design a gentle curve into the head gusset, it offers more depth and creates a wonderful dome shaped head. I thought it would be fun to translate that lovely dome into my Tweedy Ted and happily, this design worked really well.

It is the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness and I am loving the daily walks I take with Polly and Betty, my Golden Retrievers. The countryside is rich with berries and the leaves are beginning to turn beautiful shades of orange and gold. It is a time of year I have always found especially inspiring ... the dogs are loving it too as there are now lovely muddy puddles to splash through on their walks! They really are such a pair of muck magnets.
These are a few photos I snapped on our walk through Oaken Wood last weekend...
Needless to say I spent the rest of the afternoon armed with shampoo, towels and a hose!
Whatever the season where you live, I hope you too are enjoying all it has to offer!
