Rainbow Ridge Beanie...

 

hello...

 

yesterday was a day full of stitches...

today, not a stitch has been knit

but as promised

i have a beanie to show you.

 

 

i loved knitting up this wool

'cos it was never the same blend of colour.

sometimes more solid

sometimes tweedy

but always an interesting and delectable colour combination,

carefully thought out.

 

 

 

it isn't the easiest yarn to knit.

it's very soft and very light

&

on 5.5mm needles, quite loosely woven.

 

 

 

the fibre itself is 50% wool and 50% acrylic

and is marketed 'splendour' by lincraft.

they recommend a cool machine wash

but it's probably just as easy to wash by hand.

 

 

 

although it looks baggy on ted

i think next time i'll add a bit more length

for more slouch.

 

this morning

going to church was the event of the morning...

this afternoon

i'm just about to get changed and go for a swim,

the heat and humidity

are at human melting point!

 

take care and have fun!
