I've finally finished a hat which should have taken far less time to finish! A lovely crocheted Koala hat for Mr 2. He nagged me all through Winter to make him a hat and it seems I am a little too late as the warmer Spring weather has arrived - but he looks super-cute in it.
In fairness to my slowness to finish his hat - its been a crazy couple of weeks getting the second knitting pattern ready for Christmas Gift Yarn Club. The parcels are shipping this Friday... The mannequin in my studio is wearing 2 of the new pattern (she's very greedy!) and I must say it looks rather lovely - if you're signed up for yarn club you're in for a treat.
A couple of yarns for the update this week... these can be found in the shop
'Pink Pearl' Australian Organic Merino - all of those little girls will be willing Mum/Auntie to knit them something in this colourway! Miss 6 has been eyeing the colour up - its her favourite!
'Southern Cross' - A new offering from Charlisa Yarns, Laceweight - 70% Baby Alpaca, 30% Mulberry Silk - this is the ultimate in luxury yarn - soft and silky. The most gorgeous light silver colours. This yarn can be knitted in the single to produce a delicate garment, or knitted 2 stranded to produce a lovely finished garment - slightly thinner than sock-weight.
Happy Knitting! x
