Today I went went with my Best beloved, his brother and wife to “Field Days” in Hamilton. Why? Well Best Beloved he wanted a vermin and small bird proof chicken feeder and a water container that the chickens could not manage to relieve themselves in. And he got them both.

Me, I wanted garlic bulbs to plant in the next week or so. And I didn’t get them!!

But what I did get is a wonderful array of Touch Yarn wools. So many colours in different weights and yarn types – bouclé to mohair, to 2ply and sock yarn, 8ply and 12ply etc – all short sections in little hanks. An absolute treasure trove for me. I am so delighted.

You needed to see my precious jewels, my Treasure Trove. Yes there were many many more yarns in many many colourways, but these were small sections of many different colour ways and yarn types – entirely suitable for my multi colour free form intarsia knit designs.

Oh and I met Marnie Kelly at last.

Quick and easy – knit in the round. The black beanie is knit with k1 p1 rib and then stocking stitch on the crown. The blue one was k2 p2 rib all the way and also knit in the round.

Seems odd to expect 8 year olds to wear black beanies and gloves to school when the uniform is a great blue. But I guess black shoes, socks and shorts need black beanies and gloves. Anyway it is done now and his ears are warm.

I am working on Viggos beanie while away this weekend and then I will be back to my skirt and top in various cottons.
