Falling leaves in autumn

I collected my purchase of this beautiful scarf by Manon Asarfi from the Scarf Festival. She says: "The colours and circles remind me of falling leaves in autumn in the forest where my parents live, a tiny country town in the Netherlands". I am looking forward to wearing this lovely piece of the forest!

At last my tea is cosy

My first attempt at knitting with 2 sets of double pointed needles. After an infuriating afternoon of not understanding the instructions and making it more complicated than necessary, I finally worked it out! Now I might be able to try one of Loani Proir's more exciting designs for keeping my teapot cosy

Bendigo sheep and wool show

This pile of beautiful new additions to my wool stash is the result of my weekend excursion to the Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show; inspiring enough for me to try a new hand knit project.
