A couple of weeks ago, I managed to get my hands on something I had been lusting after for over a year.. A ball of the EQ Colourway of Kauni Efektyarn. This Danish yarn is just beautifully coloured, but I will confess that it’s shetland fuzzy felty feel has been a little but of a surprise. Not all bad, just not what I expected.

Beautiful gradual colour changes, seen better as wound into a yarn cake.

But what to knit with it?Immediately, I cast on a scarf-sized Clapotis. I thought what better way to show off the colours, and make best use of the metreage? But alas, it was just too small, and I didnt have enough to do the full size justice. So it has been frogged, and put back into the stash to marinade, and for the right pattern to find it.

I also got this in the post from the Book Depository.

Really, really adorable patterns. And not just sushi! Fruits, vegies, and cheese board patterns. Looking forward to making Tille a few new toys!

This yarn was a great find in the BWM Bargain room.. 12 ply handwash pure wool, in a lovely greeny blue. It got cast on the same day

Not a bad fit. Glad I didnt make the smaller men’s size. Hmm.

We went to Bendigo! A big group of us stayed at the same place as last year, this time taking up 3 houses instead of the 1 and retreat! We were there for the Australian Sheep and Wool Show which was fabulous and even more busy than last year.

So busy, in fact, that I think I took a grand total of about 10 photos

However, there was yarn buying! woohoo!

So many great finds, and some lovely surprises. I even got a (very affordable) swift and some blocking wires too. Stoked. I had some great scores in the BWM bargain room, including some 12ply and some undyed cameo which has a touch of lovely fluffy angora.

And we even had a Dagwood Dog for Kelli xx
