We had fun choosing our colours on the recent hat KAL - I love this ‘grellow’ version!
My latest KAL starts tomorrow afternoon at @yarnloftuk in Nottingham where we’ll be working on my brioche hat design - the Trireme Hat. I’ll be helping with any brioche related queries. It’s possible there may be some last minute space if anyone’s interested - contact Yarn Loft to enquire.
I’ve been travelling a lot recently - including a trip to Amsterdam and Delft! The main reason for going was to see the Vermeer exhibition, which was truly excellent, but of course there was a bit of yarn tourism too!
We’ve had great fun at @yarnloftuk with the #wenlockcowl KAL!
News of a forthcoming KAL involving my Wenlock Cowl!
I’m excited to announce that San Donato Sweater is now live in my Ravelry store! I’m offering a 20% discount until end of November (UK time).
