I've been spinning wool again. It's summer here now, no need for woolly hats. But I am working on gifts for my brother's family, who live in the Northern Hemisphere. I dyed this wool this morning, enough for two hats. I've found a lacy pattern I want to try for the first one. Then I'll decide whether to make the second one the same, or use a different pattern. Decisions, decisions!
Pretty colors! Oh, I am jelous with your summer ( I don't like winter, and it's so close for us ) :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm very glad to see summer!
DeleteGreat colors!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to plan projects and choose the right yarn; I have a son who is about to move to Canada, and the first thing I did when I had recovered from hearing the news was to choose the warmest knitting pattern I could find! - and order the supplies.
ReplyDeleteMy son spent a year in Canada. He was travelling light, so I didn't make much knitwear, but I did tat him a maple leaf book mark. :-)
DeleteOoo, may I ask for the pattern? -please? - because in two weeks'time we are going down to Canberra for their Engagement celebrations, and a maple leaf bookmark would be a most appropriate gift to take - one for each of them.

Maureen, I've sent you an e-mail, but for the record, the pattern I used was by Gale Marshall, but I don't know how to find it now!
