While I am still "star-struck" on the quilting side, the onset of autumn rain and chill made me yearn for the comfort of wool. It was time to mount an expedition to a wool-shop, but not just any wool shop. Morris & Sons in Sydney CBD it had to be. MOTH works in a building opposite and told me about this woolly heaven. I think he may later have regretted it though.....
Today's haul include:
These lovely colours in wool kindly donated by a baby alpaca:
(I'm thinking a lovely warm autumn coloured afghan for the living room)
I have a particular fondness for variegated threads, and for this bundle I thought I would try out the pattern for
"Zoe's Lace Scarf" although the wool below is a little thicker than the 2 ply called for in the pattern.
This bundle of happiness will be knitted into a scarf for a niece who is equally colourful and who needs a scarf to compliment her eclectic collection of beanies.
And that was almost it....... Some bamboo crochet hooks also insisted on coming home with me.
For the Woven quilt Sharon used a floral pattern which is very similar to the flowers used in some of the fabrics. I had thought a variegated thread, but was talked around to the apple green thread. This is why I should always listen to the experts - the apple green worked really well.
