An experiment





Here is a piece I have been working on. It is a mix of brown Finnish wool and some white Eco Wool. I like the combination. The pattern is a mix of my own and the traditional jumpers of Finnish fishermen. Quite light weight. Good for summer I guess.

Launch of my blog...

I am determined that this will not be one of those blogs that tells you everything that I have been doing in minute detail and bores you to tears.

Instead it will give you some idea of what I get up to in theWierd World of Wool.

On Saturday I ventured out to Whitley Bay to find Ring a Rosie, a shop that had been recommended to me. Wow. They are a minefield of information on local knitters and I came out with a few balls of organic, naturally coloured wool. Grrrreat!! Giving it a go now to see what I can do with it. Watch this space.
