Regular Stuff
WIP's
My lovely friend Jo, who is part of our regular table top gaming group, asked if I might be able to make her a really simple hat. So I immediately put everything else down, and wound the yarn for this:
 |
| Partially completed ribbed beanie hat |
I absolutely love the way that this yarn is working up in this pattern, it's perfect! I hope that Jo likes it too! I've just started the decreases for the crown, so I should have it finished in time for our next game day.
The pattern is Basic Ribbed Beanie, by Kessa Tay Anlin, and the yarn is Black Elephant's DK, in the colourway "Arlabdrift".
Stash Acquisition
 |
| Made by Penguins mini-skeins |
These arrived in the post yesterday. I'm completely confused about where we're at with my Made by Penguins Yarnologist subscription boxes now! I was sure I'd already had yarn for November, but apparently I was wrong! These are clearly labelled as Novembers colours. They're called "You're a Peach" and "Wild Spices". The russet colours of the Wild Spices is especially gorgeous.
Penguins!

| Black stone penguin ornament |
We found him! He was indeed in the back of Stephen's car, in a bag of things we bought in Conwy. He was the only penguin in among a lot of other stone animals, so I thought I should bring him home to join my colony.
That's all for now, we're up to date for another few days. Have a lovely weekend my dears!
