Australian knitters, today’s blog is all about touching base and finding out whether you enjoyed your Easter holidays. Ours was lovely and quiet, a few eggs, good company and some thoughts about the real reason for the Easter celebrations. Whatever your personal beliefs we hope you also enjoyed a happy peaceful few days.
On the knitting front – what have you been up to? We’ve been refining new sock patterns for the winter months, designing fair isle items using traditional methods and colours and testing new yarns.
Has anyone tried Spotlight’s Moda Vera “marshmellow” yet. It’s a very interesting soft bumpy yarn. We’ll have a pattern on site shortly – just adding the finishing touches to it. Lincraft have a similar yarn “Snowball”. Take a look next time you’re in either store, they aren’t expensive and knit up very quickly.
For bulky (14ply approx) knitters we’ve added a new pattern using Moda Vera “Spell”, one of our favourite self patterning bulky yarns. Use this link to go directly to the knitting pattern hat or beanie page for a photograph and more details.
Happy knitting everyone……..
