Living Room or Bedroom

A recently completed floor rug was adapted from Hand Knitted Things crochet cushion cover pattern called - Starburst. Opting not to do the colour changes and stay with one shade, a larger hook and chunky yarn made for a more substantial fabric. This cotton rug needed blocking to achieve the shape. I'm not sure now where to put this rug, in the living room, use under the spinning wheel or in the bedroom...

Sun and Moon

The last few days have had a cold and frosty start with skies clear. Have been making the most of this before the rain comes back later this week! The view from the front door yesterday about 8.15am - over to the left the sun rising and over to the right the moon just about to fade.

Shade Card

Shades for Spindrift and double knitting yarn range from Jamiesons of Shetland. After attempting to choose from over 220 shades in this gorgeous range via a computer screen, a shade card was ordered. It's a work of art in itself and well worth seeing the samples to select the colours. They range from rainbow shades though to natural. All grown, dyed and spun in the Shetlands Isles.
