Hopefully, this has reached it’s recipient by now (weather permitting) so I can post a pic or two 
This yarn is a delightful surprise. Ella Rae Merino Lace will be a repeat purchase! More a light fingering weight, but great for shawls and lace projects. And the colour!

This was a score from the amazing stall of Kathy’s Fibres at Bendi last year. My aim was to spin a loftier, softer, heavier weighted yarn, something a little out of my comfort zone. And it worked!

This was a bit of a gamble, but I think it paid off.
One white, plain, but fluffy hand knit.
One pot of steaming vinegary dye infused water..
The first dunk was a little boring. So I grabbed another colour, added a splonk* and re-dipped. The result? Something like a tequila sunrise. Well, almost. I wanted the pink to take more, but it wasn’t to be.
Some cute buttons to match..
and you have a gorgeous item, ready for Autumn

This is a beautiful knit
Step one, take some smooshy wool/angora blend from the BWM back room.
Step two: find a gorgeous, girly, easy pattern like Hine from Kelly Brooker (this was gifted to me at xmas by Deb – thanks Deb!)
Step three, smoosh, admire. But there is more. This will be dip-dyed, blocked, and buttoned. A perfect top to go over a long sleeve cotton tee in the cooler months!
Sticks: 4mm addi click.
Yarn: BWM Cameo 8ply
Mods: Knitted size 4, but lace panel to size 5.
More pics to follow when it’s looking a little more colourful!

This is something I have wanted to make for a while.. A much-loved character by my now 2-year old.
A very quick crochet project! He is adored and loved!
