This is the time of year when you need a warm blanket - on the sofa in the evening to keep the chill off and on your bed at night to keep you warm and toasty.

Laura’s Loom blankets are made from 100% British wool - grown, spun, dyed and woven right here in the UK.

#WIPWednesday - Rokeby Hat (pattern by me) in Milburn 4ply (BFL/silk -one of my yarns). I’d forgotten how enjoyable this colourwork is to make! It flows so nicely. Onto the crown decreases next. 😍

A partially made hat which is cream with a darkish pink houndstooth pattern knitted into it. The same hat again but from a slightly different angle so you can see that the contrast between the colours is good.

I've been winding many, many mini skeins of lovely British wool for duckling kits today. Not thrilling, but a podcast or three passes the time quite pleasantly!
