I am sick with the awful cold that's been going round (day 5 of barely leaving my bed, woo) so I decided to start crocheting a shawl for a friend. It's gonna take a very long time I am sure, but it's helping me not go insane! Plus the colours are pretty.

The pattern is one I got for free from Wool Warehouse. It's called Polly Plum Rio Arriba Shawl. My pattern is in UK crochet terms, there is also a US version.

Yarn is from Hobbii, called Dahlia Halloween, in colour 02, and is 100% cotton.

Side note, I can't believe US and UK use totally different terms for crochet stitches, and I always worry when I pick up a pattern that it'll turn out totally wrong because I'm using UK terms and it's written in US terms or something.

I have Slice O’ Cherry Pie and Lavenderlicious, plus Popin Candy with which I’ve made a beautiful new design with which will be launched soon!

I’ve tried a few of these long changing yarns in the past, and haven’t really been enamoured because oh man, they split!  The Whirl is constructed differently though, so it feels…

Yarn Day: Secret Garden

Yarn Day: Secret Garden

This week Scheepjes launched another brand new yarn.  Seriously, I can’t keep up with them all, there are so many!  This one is the silk blend Secret Garden.

Among the Blogger Tribe, this one has been much anticipated.  We were lucky enough to be given a sneak peek and there was lots of oohing and aahing and rubbing yarn on our faces.

So I’m excited to give you a little show and tell!

I have…

Ooooh, my sister has pointed out a website selling the same yarn I bought today but 86p a ball cheaper!

I had a 15% code for the site I used, and I was able to get some needles I’ve been eyeing up for a while (which this recommended one don’t stock)  so I have no regrets but it’s nice to have options. :)
