So... knitting. The wool you might recognise as "loopy" by Rico. its a fun wool, you only use 8 stitches and size 8mm needles and it knits up really y really quickly. I buy mine from a guy called Sean in mother red gaps market in Coolock, He charges the same as Springwools and Stitch.ie but you know what Hes lovely, He recognises my mum whenever she goes and always has the colours we want and (this is a big AND) He takes back our leftover wool from projects.
There is a whole range of colours but i love the bright mad colours of its summer colours.
OK I know people don't associate cold winter with summer colours but damn it i think we should. Its cold outside, everything is grey and miserable so isn't it the most suitable time to be wearing brighter colours. reclaim the winter, Viva la Framboise!
I do love the wool shop in the market and there is always bargains to be had ...Love the colours Nik and I agree we tend to go dark in the winter will keep it in mind now and try to brighten up..:)
