It's time for WOYWW again, and this week summer really has disappeared - after last weeks Christmas trees I'm now in woolly scarf mode!
I found some rather cosy knitting and crochet patterns on the internet and I felt so chilly and miserable over the wet August bank holiday that I dug out my knitting bag and got stuck in! My newest finds, the little jug and bowl, were sitting on my desk and I noticed how beautifully they matched the wool - what a lucky coincidence!
For anyone interested both lots of wool are Dune by Trendsetter Yarns.
This pretty yarn will look lovely made up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment on my blog.Thanks for following.
Oh, that yarn just looks yummy! Wish I could knit.... Great photos, the pattern on the jug and bowl is beautiful. Diane #32
ReplyDeleteI so love your beautiful collection of crockery. You have such an eye for beautiful things. That wool will look lovely knitted up I imagine it to be so cozy in these up and coming winter nights.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, happy WOYWW - what gorgeous china and beautiful yarn - winter/cold does make you want to click the needles. Cheers RobynO#24
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love that yarn! The colors are beautiful and they do look wonderful with the pitcher! I also love the beautiful needles you have! Beautiful tools really make the knitting or crocheting a more wonderful experience, don't they?
ReplyDeleteWow, I'll have to look for that yarn, it's amazing! Love seeing how it's knit up--and it's so pretty with that pitcher I'm gonna have to pin it! Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #48
ReplyDeleteOnce again you have wonderful colours and textures in your photographs - it's amazing how the colours in the yarn and the jug match perfectly. You have an extraordinary eye for tones :-) It's definitely autumnal if you feel like knitting though, lol...I've just finished a crochet blanket and that was too warm to work on a couple of weeks ago, now it's lovely!!
ReplyDeleteI think Winchester Cathedral has the most amazing nooks and crannies for finding little works of art as well as the large ones. Maybe you and I could pool our resources and 'borrow' the lump of wood - we could time share it in out gardens. Whaddya think?? By the way, you made me hoot with your 'whittling'! If you're able to whittle something like that, then I'll take off my hat to you :-)

Gorgeous yarn, makes me want to start knitting again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and pleased you found the tip useful.
Have agreat week and happy crafting, Angela x 34
Awesome! I just picked up my knitting needles again last night, too. It's been probably two years since I knitted anything. Your photos are beautiful, and I love that yarn.
ReplyDeletethe pictures are great but I love your unusual knitting needles... they work so well with the pretty jug. I'm guessing they are old ones.
ReplyDeleteif you haven't found them the wonder clips are made by clover obviously they are available at that well known store in Winchester along with a cheaper version which I haven't tried ( they arrived after I brought mine).
Mmmm, that gorgeous yarn is making me miss my knitting phase - scarves are pretty much the one thing I could do, I can't wait for scarf weather - there are occasional little hints in the air that it's coming!
ReplyDeleteAnd your darling jug and bowl - those make me miss my mosaics phase - I used to scour shops for broken and chipped ones like that to use and developed a love for old pieces like that in the process.
Gorgeous yarn, and such lovely china. Take a peek at my scavenger hunt 2014 pics and you will find china of a similar vintage... What yummy soft scarves you will have, all ready for winter!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting - yes, a fabulous day - and the sun did, indeed, shine.
Take care. God bless.

So lovely! I keep looking at my assorted lovely yards and wooden need;es hugged together in a large basket, awaiting my attention...maybe they shall be used this cold Winter, when I shall have more time to breathe ;)
ReplyDeleteI love visiting for WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteThat wool looks so cosy and comforting... and I love the delicateness of that sweet jug.
