Finished Objects:
This month I finished the Peacock Infinity Scarf I have been knitting for Mum since Christmas :-) It's made with MadelineTosh Merino DK yarn in the "Nassau Blue" colourway that I bought from Purl Soho when I was visiting New York last year. I'm very happy how it turned out, it's one of my Mum's favourite colours and will go well with lots of things she wears :-) I think she will love it.
Work in Progress:
I've made a little bit more progress on the Guernsey Wrap Scarf. I'm really enjoying knitting this project! It's the first time I've used a chart pattern, and I had imagined it would be a lot more difficult than it actually is. The whole scarf is just made up of basic Knit and Purl stitches in different sequences to form the beautiful patterns. The yarn is Circus Tonic Handmade Carousal DK 8ply 100% Australian superwash Merino. The colour is "Cape Barren Goose". I'm loving how clear the stitch definition is with this yarn :-)
Acquisitions:
I couldn't help myself and had to buy some of the beautiful new single ply merino fingering weight yarn from Circus Tonic Handmade. I bought 4 skeins - one each of "Figbird", "White Browed Woodswallow", "Purple Backed Starling" and "Grey Hawk". Hannah also gifted me some lovely Fiesta 4ply fingering yarn (superwash merino) in the "Sulphur Crested Cockatoo" colourway as she thought it would make a good contrasting colour with some of the other yarns I bought :-) I want to knit a little present for one of my cousins who is having her first baby soon, so I asked her to pick the yarn she liked best for me to use to knit something for the baby. She chose the "Grey Hawk" colourway, a beautiful soft silvery creamy grey. Now to find a pattern and some time to work on the project before the baby arrives! :-)
