bulls and sheep in seville

Posted on February 28, 2008 by ehdknits

Daughter no.1 and I went to Seville last week for 2 days.seriously delightful city, but in almost 2 full days of walking, walking , walking, did not see anything knitting related except these sheep 

seville sheep as you know, seville is big on bulls but I prefer to think the shirt’s portraying the black sheep leading the white sheep.

HOWEVER, on our last stroll ,getting lost as usual on way back to hotel, we ran across this seville yarn needless to say, Alex did not want me to go in. I did, usual acrylic suspects, but I did see some seda, which I think means silk in bright wonderful colours- no time to investigate further. so yes, there is yarn in Seville- but I have no idea where it is!

Posted on February 15, 2008 by ehdknits

Managed to finished the easy tunic pattern finally-it’s printed ( a new  long timer record(4months later).tunic This would be a good first sweater.It’s a very easy knit and appeals across age groups(I wear it, my 20 year old wears it).A more advanced knitter would want to add short rows in collar and refine arm shaping.Pictured in debonnaire soft spun, but doable in any dk yarn.tunic back

knitting at daniel galvin

Posted on February 9, 2008 by ehdknits

erica-at-daniel-galvin-kip.jpgso I had to go to daniel galvin to get some knitting done- lots of interest, especially as it is cashmere.  Nice alfie was properly polite and acting interested. so when are people going to wake up and realize kniting is chic.

still resizing photos, figuring out sidebars ad nauseum

Is it fun yet?
