It is Beech Hill and was a very easy knit. I started it last August before the Knit August Nights wool retreat and it finally came off my needles this afternoon. I used a gorgeous Drops Lima mix of 65% wool and 35% alapca - it is divine. I used 6 x 50 gram balls, which makes it an incredibly cheap garment!! (so well under what pattern said of 928 metres - i used 600 metres! - might go back and look at stash).
My new gorgeous broach in the mail today - a surprise gift from my cousin Jackie - she also sent me this... s-w-o-o-n - my colours - LOVE! A lovely surprise!
(ps - not sure I like how grey my hair looks from the photos!)
The colour of your cardigan is beautiful, it suits you well. You are lucky woman, gorgeous gifts. Hope you won't have to boil gallons of water for personal use! And btw, grey is the new blonde, very trendy here. x
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts go out to you on the water situation. We once had a 1,000 year flood & ended up with 10 feet of water in the house. The kids were canoeing in the backyard but we didn't have drinking water for 8+ weeks. Your yarn is gorgeous, btw.
ReplyDeleteYou did a lovely job with that pretty shade of yarn. It does look nice on you! Sorry about the rain! We are expecting a big snow storm after basically nothing all winter! Not much rain either! Good luck!
