MORE MOHAIR

I've had an extended break from blogging, knitting and my computer, but I did manage to add to my stash. This is a red/orange 5 ply mohair, I also have 1 kg charcoal wool 8 ply, 250 g red fluffy mohair, chocolate lama hand spun... I really do have a stash now!!! the grey mohair scarf is done and it's so warm. I've started a wide scarf/throw using the cream kid seta for my mother but it's been unpicked two times so far, first the needles were to small then the pattern didn't work, so this is attempt number three.

MY YARN STASH

I just couldn't resist this YUMMY hand dyed mohair from The Spindle Tree, 100g-200m for $23.00!!!. I think I'll knit a wrap/stole on large needles, the colour is a little lighter than the photo. The new Yarn magazine has finely arrived! I didn't have a look until all jobs were done, dinner cooked, washed up and I had a cup of tea with a warm chocolate hot cross bun!!!. We are thinking about getting broadband it seems my dial up connection is getting even worse, when I try to do Ravelry things it takes so long and after a while it freezes!!!!! this is so anoying.

New project idea, TEA COSIES!!! I'm in the middle of test no1, might try felting a swatch to get a firmer result.

WRISTLETS

This is the first hand warmer I've knitted, there was a little trouble around the thumb I'm still getting used to translating patterns into normal English!!! the wool mix has a little green in it so it's not as blue as the photo. Number two is almost finished the pattern said three hours but I've taken about five days, I'm a very slow knitter.
