I went back to Poundland to see if I could get some more of their new yarn which has a 20% wool content. I was cautious when buying my first batch as I did wonder how well it would wash but there were absolutely no problems; mind you I only washed my newly made pair of socks using hair conditioner, by hand, so it's yet to be put through the 30 degreees machine wash as recommended on the label.

I'm trying to get to the end of this week, so I can knuckle down and start thinking about what I hope to achieve in 2017 knitwise. The club will no doubt evolve in to the sum of it's parts but I'd like to have some patterns and tutorials lined up for the beginner knitters.
I came across this picture when I was scouting around looking for an image to add to my About Me page. I was looking for a picture that depicted a caring hands-on Auntie, but this one looks more like Stepford Psycho Mommie and soon to rebel crazy kid.
I'm not a big fan of using bobbins when knitting intarsia. For those who don't know, Intarsia knitting is when you knit blocks of colour but don't want to carry the yarn not in use along with you as you knit along. It makes for very neat colourwork, and lots of colours per row can be used. It differs from the other method of doing colour work which is Fair Isle Knitting.
