I’ll be packing my finished #sproutedshawl this weekend as we’re off to Barcelona for the @barcelonaknitsfestival I really know how to spoil my sister.
Anyway, Nicola’s finished her treatment and we’re going to celebrate with a woolly weekend!

I love dyeing up our tweedy Slubby DK I think it's the chunkyness of it compared to the usual 4ply but I may have over indulged recently.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They're all in the shop⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Work knitting.
I’m ahead with the day so I’m planning on a few rows while the dye pots are cooling.
I have a cup of tea, the sound of the cat snoring and a new cast on; the #sproutedshawl by @jacquelinecieslak in Chantry and Lime Mortar.
It has a vikkel braid which I’ve never tried before and I’m looking forward to.
Bliss

The Howling Cowl can be knitted in either a DK/Aran weight or, as in this case, a 4ply yarn and Mohair & Silk lace held together.
Either way you end up with a very cosy, reversible cowl to keep you warm.
This sample was knitted for us by the lovely @lynnescoging in our Merino & Silk 4ply and Mohair & Silk Lace both in the colour Woodstock.

My copy of the Shetland Wool Week Annual has arrived and the first knit will be the Seaweed slipover by @wilmadesigner but with a dark coloured background. I should never be let out in pale colours so I've raided the shop and have been knitting up swatches in grey and brown. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think the brown has a hint of the 1970's tank top, I quiet like it but I'll probably go grey (again). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The most gorgeous shaker tray by @shastonboxes to brighten up a very grey day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

our Mohair & Silk Lace in Lime Mortar and Ointment plus a little bit of the vegetable fluffyness that is old man’s beard. I can never remember seeing the flowers but it’s all over the hedge now looking very autumnal.

We had our first frost today but I think a cardigan knitted in our Slubby DK would keep you cosy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Mordor, Shoreline and Sea Spray, I love a blue.

If you're lacking a bit of colour after another grey autumn day, Merino & Silk 4ply to the rescue. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
