Well, impressively the new yarn that I ordered on Saturday afternoon arrived this morning, Tuesday. Great customer service Wool Warehouse, thank you! So, below are the new additions of Stylecraft Special DK, all bought at £1.69 per 100g ball. I can’t find it cheaper anywhere else at the moment and free p&p for orders over £25.00.
Beautiful browns….
These are my ‘beautiful browns’!! On the left are three balls each of ‘mocha’ on top of ‘dark brown’, and on the right are the same of ‘walnut’ on top of ‘parchment’. I’m hoping to make a Daisy Blanket, pattern courtesy of the lovely Kate at ‘Just Pootling’.
I also bought three balls of ‘raspberry’ [see below] to go with some green/lime Willow pattern blocks I have been making. I made these quite a while back and ‘found’ them again over the weekend whilst fighting off that bug. I have enough yarn to make quite a batch of the blocks but needed something bright and cheery to offset and compliment all that green. The photo does not do the raspberry yarn justice at all, it’s a rich deep pink, not the dodgy purple it appears in the picture, but you get the idea I’m sure.
Willow blocks and new raspberry yarn.
I also bought a couple of new crochet hooks. I’ve not bought a new hook for years and years, always having used the traditional gray aluminium ones. I’ve been seeing quite a few with rubber handles/grips so thought I’d give one of THESE a try. I’ll let you know what I think of it when I’ve given it a test drive later.
Happy hooking folks….S xx
