Within mere moments of finding out I had already begun to formulate a wishlist, but more than the love of wool (if there could there *be* more!) I am really looking forward to meeting and putting real faces to the Twitter profile pictures!
I had never attempted a triangular shawl before and it was also only my second attempt at top-down shawl construction.
I can understand why 12269 people on Ravelry have knit Ishbel – it’s a simple garment, yet totally elegant.
This is Lush, by Emily Wessel of Tin Can Knits and it is an early pattern release from her upcoming book Handmade in the UK
I knew as soon as I saw it that I wanted one for myself, but how nice to knit a mini version as a practice?!
I finished 3 WIPs this weekend. Three! *does dance*
Two of these are for the imminent arrival of a friend’s baby and this one was in real danger of becoming an UFO.
My projects for KnitBritish do appear slow in coming, if the blog is anything to go by!
I assure you I am not just buying British wool, but I am working with it too!
I have been drinking in the full prettiness of my Edinburgh Yarn Festival booty today. After the event I placed everything in my hand-luggage (cos if that plane was going down, I was going down clutching that yarn!) and I have only begun to really play with it all today.
Saturday morning was dull and drizzly, but spirits were never less damp in that queue outside of the Out of the Blue Drill Hall off Leith Walk. I might also add that never was I quite so happy to queue in the drizzle!
The colours today were just phenomenal. I love Shetland on a day like today. I feel like days like this are only shown in a certain light so that we notice things around us and appreciate them more.
