New Yarn & A New Project .......

I know, I know, I promised myself not to buy any more yarn until I had used up some of my large stash but a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do & in my case it's yarn !!!!!

A new Hobbycraft store has just opened near me so the other day I thought I would go & have a look around. I spied that Wendy has brought out a new yarn called 'Merino Bliss' & it's gorgeously soft so I just had to have some !!!! There isn't a great colour range which is disappointing but I picked out four colour that went well together for yet another granny blanket !!!

I also bought two skeins of 'Rowan Colourscape' as I have seen a great crochet scarf pattern on Ravelry using this yarn. I rushed home to start my new granny & this is my progress so far.

This yarn is wonderful to work with, I'm finding it hard to put down & have even been hooking while cooking dinner !!!!

At this rate this could be my speed record for making a blanket, I can't wait to snuggle under it, watch this space !!!!

Mmmmm Malabrigo........

Anyone who has knitted with malabrigo will know how wonderfully soft & warm it is & the colours are amazing. I have a passion for it.

I love knitting scarves & hats with it, you only need 2 skeins for a long scarf & 1 skein for a hat. As you can see I have quite a large stash & I have 5 scarves on the go at the moment. If you have never knitted with Malabrigo give it a go, I bet you will be as hooked as I am.

My friend Jo recently asked if I would knit her a hat for her skiing holiday, luckly I had the perfect colour in my stash as she wanted pink to go with her ski jacket. She was over the moon with it & worn it every day.

The little men are out with their daddy today, & I have a list of jobs to do & hopefully some crochet. I hope everyone has a great bank holiday, bye for now xxx
