THE GOOD DAY AFTER ALL

After a damp depressed start to the day.....
1. l got a call from James...always makes me happy hehehe..home for a long weekend
2. A wonderful trip to a yarn store...a feast of colour and fabulous yarns
3. Fabulous price.....wow wow wow!!...one happy bunny

THE WINTER RIPPLE
Very hard to decided on the colours l want to use for the ripple throw......did a couple of samples but love the mixed colour yarns and it was soooo hard to decide on what colours to leave out so.....

l'm going to use (l think) a mixture of 3 colours as one yarn of this gorgeous 100% Merino and an 8mm hook....
love the chunky look and with so many colours l can make up endless combinations of mixed yarn colours and the look is subtle and blended with no clashes
What a fabulous shop...COLOUR MART SHREWSBURY...sooooooooooo helpful and because l bought 38 colours and 200grms of each l got it at an unbelievable price...

Normally this 100% (super soft )Merino yarn is normally £1.50 per 50grms
comes on cones...great machine for winding the amount you want onto cones

SMALLER PROJECT BAG..same pattern as the wool sack

Made another smaller version of the wool sack yesterday only 8 increase rounds and 23 side rounds and a thicker drawstring...4 strands with a 6mm hook..otherwise its made the same as the WOOL SACK just less of it!!
Looking at them side by side the one looks thicker yarn but its still only DK Double strand
It's just big enough to hold a single project 8-12 balls of yarn hook etc....or it could be a shoulder bag but l would add a shoulder strap if l was using it for that
the DK x 2 strands really is fast to crochet made this bag in about 7 hours one sitting started out as a bath mat though but l forgot l was making a bath mat and it turned into a bag hehe
