Sorry today's post is a bit late, today has just ran away from me!
Pink needles and the biggest ball of yarn I've ever seen!
So this isn't quite a wip but it going to be, so I hope this counts!! This is the wool and needles I bought when I was back in Forres visiting my mum and family. You can't really tell but the wool is such a gorgeous purple colour. I'm going to use it to try and knit a cable bag, this wont be for a while but I just couldn't resist the wool, which is evident by the size, according to the pattern I will need 150g and this ball is 400g. Now I know they say as a beginner you should buy more than you need but 350g more?!? Anyway I'm sure I will use it for other things, maybe mittens? ooo that's an idea!
Also I do apologise the photo isn't great but also in the photo are some very cute pink needles. Again I just could resist. They are size 41/2mm, I'm not sure what I'll use them for but who cares, they're pink!! So this is it really for this week but I promise next week I will have something

Whatever you knit with those tiny needles is going to take some time...love the color of purple.

ReplyDeleteSo pretty yarn (and even pretty needles!!) You'll have plenty for the bag, mittens and many more things! Maybe a matching hat?
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful purple!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, how could you resist pink needles! For me they would have to be teal, but pink is very cool too. Have fun with your purple knitting adventure!
ReplyDeleteI love those giant yarn balls - they're such good value, you'll be able to make lots of accessories :)
