Before I did my chores today I went to the two local wool shops and made a small purchase from each. I had to use lots of self control. Very proud.
| From The hornsby Wool and craft nook I bought two balls of Jo Sharp, Alpacca Kid Lustre in cork. It is kind of a pinky, mushroom grey/brown colour. I am going to use this for the day flower scraf from Stitchin Girl for my holiday project |  |
| I also bought a ball of Sirdar DK cotton in bright purple from Cherryhills. My plan is to make some bibs, washcloths and other baby things for a friend who is expecting her second child. They don’t seem to be exactly the same weight/ply but I am sure that they will knit up ok. It doesn’t bother me that much, I will do it anyway because I just love the way the colours look together. |  |
My bolero patterns also arrived today. That was so quick, I only ordered them about 5 days ago. I knitted up my wash cloths for my swap (more about that tomorrow) and the Heirloom cotton is lovely to knit with and feels so soft. I will get a couple of balls in white for one and use some Wendy DK cotton that I already have in mauve for the other. Then all I have to do is ship them up to mum for her to make them. Well, I have to make her feel needed.
You will love that Bolero in Blue once knit up. It is gorgeous! Just tedious doing all that picot bind off on every edge. I am planning another knit of it this year. I love doing it in Baby Cashmerino because it is just the softest yarn.
