Kirsty Knits!

Shopping [General, Stash!] — Administrator @ 5:39 pm

The other day I went to Coldspring Mill near Bradford and as a result the yarn stash has increased quite a bit!

Picked up some unlabelled Debbie Bliss wool on cones. Only small amounts though, but I’m hoping to make a minisweater with them both.

That’s the black and blue big cones in the pic. I’ve already started on the black minisweater :) Hoping I have enough wool for it though, but maybe I can just do shorter sleeves if I run out. The other bits were a tiny bit of light blue DB merino chunky which I think I’ll do a felted purse or something with and also some unknown beige yarn and a small ball of mohair that I managed to get for free as the nice man couldn’t be bothered to enter an amount for it!

This is some lovely Elsebeth Lavoid wool in a dark brown colour. It’s 50% Alpaca and 50% Merino and it’s lovely and soft. I’m going to make a long cardigan for me from a pattern in a Rowan magazine. If I find a pic I’ll post it.

And last but not least is some of this:

Which I think I’ll make a shawl with. I’d like to make the Clapotis but I’m not sure. Might do a test square to see how it knits up.

Loopy scarf [Finished Objects] — Administrator @ 5:27 pm

This scarf was made with Colinette Fandango yarn which is a cotton chenille. Is lovely wool, but I was getting fed up of the needles I had. Really could use Addi circulars for everything I think! I love how it turned out, and I’m even thinking about making another one at some point in a different colour :)

Knitting [Uncategorized] — Administrator @ 3:19 pm

Recently discovered knitting again due to some of my friends doing it and also the purchase last year of some lovely Colinette wool for a hat. Since then I’ve had a few different projects on the go which I’ll blog here :)
