I am in a little bit of a knitting slump at the moment – I have still got to finish Spring Fling, however, I am not in the mood to knit a big project – I preferred knitting my socks or a scarf. I cast on Branching Out with the green crochet thread I got in America, but I don’t think there will be enough – so I was going to get some Rowan Lurex Shimmer to make a stripe scarf – maybe in Feather and Fan pattern.
I signed up for the Yahoo Mystery Stole Along, as I love puzzles and the idea of only having a few rows of a pattern really appealed – I am a little behind on this Knit Along as it started a few weeks ago, but hopefully, I can catch up and then get solving the clues to work out the next part of the pattern.
So I finally managed to get to Hobbycraft on Sunday – and spent a fortune – they didn’t sell the DMC Perle 8, I needed for my MaryElla – they seemed to only sell Anchor threads, I got a few colours – but they only have a limited range – however, I did find a place online that sells the thread so I can order it.
They didn’t really sell a lot of wool in Hobbycraft – mainly Sirdar and some Paton’s – all DK cotton – but there were some lovely colours… I did buy
- 2 balls of Sirdar Duet in a gorgeous brown shade –for a scarf.
- 4 balls of Sirdar Snuggly 4ply – for the Mystery Stole Along.
- Some 10mm needles – not photographed as I am using them on a project.
