The photo doesn't do justice to the vibrant rust red and brown colours, but after we had lunch with Mr Yardage in the city, we popped in to Cleggs and found some beautiful wool in the same tones. I haven't knitted since I was at school, so when we got home I learnt how to cast on (thanks to google!) and started ...
I am just loving the relaxing nature of knitting. I'm making a scarf as a first project (which may take a while as the wool is fine and so are the needles, and I am slow!). I love the colours and can't wait to wear it - fingers crossed it will be ready in time for the cold weather this year! Thanks to Kate for sharing her newfound love of knitting and sewing the seed in my mind. More creative spaces at Kirsty's place - where you are bound to find far more beautiful woollen cleverness!

Love the colour of the yarn. At least if you don't finish it before the end of this winter, you'll be styling come Autumn next year.

Beautiful yarn, and love the toadstool too. THere is something magic about them isn't there. Like all sorts of worlds go on there.x
Gorgeous colours... and I love the source of inspiration too. The scarf will be such a great momento of your trip to the museum with your precious boy. Brilliant. (and clever you for being able to knit!)

Love your photo of the toadstool! We went to the museum on Sunday to see the dinosaur exhibit which Khye loved. Your knitting is looking great - love the colour you've chosen.
