As a reward, I got home just as the courier delivered this exciting parcel....
In my re-discovered love of knitting I had been browsing the internet and found a lovely supplier on www.loveknitting.com Lots of their yarn was on offer and I succumbed to some soft chunky knit which was reduced from over £5 a ball to...wait for it.. £1 !! I bought 10 balls in each of two colours...
I am hoping there will be enough to make a couple of waistcoat/gilet type garments to keep me warm during the cold weather to come. I did order a pattern from elsewhere (fleabay) but have been sent the wrong one so it has to go back...doh...
I also succumbed to a single ball of this Bouffle chunky yarn. It cost just over £4 but I'm hoping to find a pattern for a simple hat to knit with it. A free pattern came with it but it's a crochet one and I can't crochet :( The yarn was delivered in a lovely drawstring bag which I can surely find another use for, Christmas maybe?
Even the pattern I ordered for another project came in a sturdy board envelope...
The packaging from Loveknitting cannot be faulted and at the bottom of the pink bag were these! How lovely!

Now does anyone know where I can find a free pattern for a simple hat to knit with my Bouffle yarn please? A turn back brim would be great, if possible. My skills in adapting patterns in a different yarn are too risky to try and a trawl around the internet has so far drawn a blank. Help! It's already officially Autumn!
Have a great day whatever you have planned and thanks everso for popping in x
Ooh what lovely yarns......I'm not going to look at that website, I have too big a stash as it is!
ReplyDeleteI live in New Zealand and order from love knitting - they are great!
ReplyDeleteI love knitting so much. I am always buying new yarn and I probably have more yarn than I could ever need, but I suppose that is a good thing because then I have enough for several big projects. I make blankets frequently for my little ones because they love their blankets so much.

My husband has been going for deep cleanings and his gums are so bad the dentist actually gave him a prescription mouthwash to help with the gingivitis and bleeding and whatnot. I could probably use some of it myself since I don't floss nearly as much as I should! I need to just bite the bullet and go myself.
