I think I must be in a blue mood.
The short sleeved jacket is knitted in King Cole Opium in Wedgewood blue and is shown accessorised with Jeans 'n Tshirt necklace made with agate and jade.For my size it takes three 100 grm balls of Opium. I had quite a bit left over because I stitched it with sewing thread rather than the yarn.
The three blues yarns are "Baby with a Twist" "Opium" and "Big Value chunky", all King Cole andl are now available in the shop.
I will be knitting a lovely baby boys jacket with the Baby Twist, to show off the effect and adding blue train buttons.
I was going to a blog about a forthcoming Rag Rugging workshop at the shop, but it was fully booked in less than 12 hours.I am hoping another will be booked very soon.
