Well obviously not all for YOSH, I apparently have to eat the delicious chocolate, no hardship there then:) Also photos of my favourite place to visit, Glastonbury. Thank you Vicky it is much appreciated. I also love the cat card.Then to the knitting. I've read a lot about Meret the gorgeous FREE beret pattern by Woolly Wormhead and seen some beautiful finished items on Ravelry. Well last week Laal Bear came a visiting and brought the red one that she recently completed. I loved it and thought I'd better have a go at making one.
Unfortunately the yarn I chose doesn't show the pattern to its best advantage but is very warm and very comfortable to wear.
The yarn is Kilcarra Aran tweed, a green product donated by the lovely Clarabelle. It is 100% pure new wool.
It knit up very quickly and easily once I followed the pattern exactly:( I started with the 1st row of pattern and then found out that for the size I was making I should have started later. Once this was ironed out it was plain sailing. This is the second hat for YOSH and joins the other completed items in the hospice cupboard.I loved the hat so much I've earmarked some vivid blue to wind for the next one later today.
I went back to the doctor today and apparently my rash is a form of eczema. I was offered stronger steroid creams or steroid tablets. I am going to see what I can come up with as an alternative first.
