Lovely Wool


Manos de Uruguay

My lovely friend Louise did a spot of shopping at Purl in New York

Apparently it's quite normal for yarn stores out there to wind skeins at no extra charge.

This is a wrist pin cushion I made for Louise.


I settled on a Velcro fastening with a button garnish.
The beautiful linen tape was from her last trip over.
I am very spoilt.

  3. Lucky you and lucky Louise. I'm not usually a fan of variagated yarn (or plants come to that) but this is lovely colours so gets away with it - what are you going to knit?

  7. Beautiful yarn - can't wait to see what you make with it. Great wrist pin cushion too. I may have to make one as I'm a nightmare for putting mine down and losing it!

  12. There are wrist pin cushions out there but perhaps not as nice as the ones I make! She says modestly!! I may do a 'how to' (tutorials sound so grand) as I'm never without mine when sewing.
    I intend to knit a scarf probably in moss stitch but I think I shall experiment to see which stitch will show the wool/yarn off to its best advantage.
