Forgot to show off my first finished #Knitting project! This sweater is the Whispers pattern by Les Garçons on #Ravelry, using 8 ply (DK) wool from #BendigoWoollenMills the colour is 648 Mallard.

It took me 3-4 months to finish, and I’m pretty happy with it, though it does billow a bit at the waist. It’s comfy and warm.

My next project will be a blanket in he colour ‘Fern’ which is a much lighter, green colour.

Dropped into #bendigowoollenmills last week and found this gorgeous #variegated #purple 100% #australian #merino #wool #8ply #yarn. Being in the #bargain section, the three balls they had were it, and so not enough to make a #handknit #jumper (#sweater ) or #cardigan without playing #yarnchicken, so fell back to my default of #knitting #socks. Being so sidt, thick and #lush, they'll be perfect for my friend, Laura, who finds the bitter #chill of #winter in #Victoria almost unbearable.

They're knitting up very quickly on my #KnitPro #Zing #Interchangeables using #magicloop #2atatime (to avoid SSS - #SecondSockSyndrome) and the #fishlipskiss sock #pattern.

I suspect these will be the first of many I'll be knitting.

I turned the heel on the first sock I'd been #knitting with this #BendigoWoollenMills sock yarn, tried it on and realised I'd made the sock a little too big whoops.

So it's going to be repurposed into my fourth #CheckerworkHat. This one's for meeeee.
