Things are getting pink and stripy

. In both my crochet and knitting classes we will be using variegated yarns to jazz up our projects. There are so many yarns to choose from and they really do make working in colour easy. No changing yarns and no weaving in ends!

I'm wearing a cardigan in variegated yarns but it is so old I can't remember what I used. I do know that this is a Rowan pattern.

I bought some of the new self striping yarn from West Yorkshire Spinners. They have just bought out a range inspired Zandra Rhodes. They are very pink and this is the least pink I could find.

Don't forget my next steps in Crochet and next steps in knitting start in early November so if you want to sign up please let me know.

Crocheting with local hand dyded yarn in a sunny back garden

It's a beautiful sunny day so I'm crocheting in the garden. I'm loving my latest crochet project. A fab top from Inside Crochet by Kath Webber called Himalayan Salt Tee. I'm using some rather nice hand dyed sock yarn from Under an English Sky and it's rather good.

I don't have any knitting on the go at the moment and can't make up my mind whether to do a spot of brioche or go for the cute baby knit.
