Feel good Friday….. today’s look is contemporary and creative we like to call “Freeform Friday”. Deborah came in looking absolutely fabulous in her red asymmetric oversized creation.
Deborah used lots of different textures and fibres within the red colour family and with her stylish accents and design features makes a very unique and versatile fashion piece.
Deborah puts together some amazing vibrant colour combinations that reflect her artistic flair.

Feel Good Friday…this week we had a “Tresse Trifecta” when Trish and Debbie did a double take in store with their top down Tresse design sweaters.
We needed to make it a trifecta so Anita popped on her version in Malabrigo sock held with Moseta mohair.
Trish in seafoam blue selected Scotland2 tweed held with a perfect match in Kremke lace weight silky kid mohair.
Debbie knitted hers in a single strand of Malabrigo Rios choosing one of their more solid tones from the range.
Designer Isabell Kraemer, has some fantastic top down seamless designs available on Ravelry.
Her patterns explain this technique clearly if you are keen to try top down construction found in many current patterns.
If you have made a Tresse sweater, we would love to see your version in comments.

Feel Good Friday… it’s all about making connections and this week Mary and Vicki met for the first time at The Wool Inn. They immediately became kindred spirits over their love and passion for their projects together.
Mary was wearing her fabulous knitted skirt that used up many oddments, knitted as 6 seperate panels. Vicki had a good look at the construction.
Vicki was wearing her Stephen West design Penguono which is a multi direction knitted jacket utilising lots of fantastic fibres and colours to create a unique wearable artwork.
Together they went through some of the blankets that Vicki was working on and added some new shades to her current blankets.
Vicki is making a personalised blanket for each of her 18 grandchildren.
It is a magical space where people connect and share the love of our crafts and fibres.

We have just added some pastel shades to our mohair silk 2ply range, which work in beautifully with the newest Bellissimo 8 release for winter.
Many patterns will use 2 strands together and this gives your knitting a soft delicate effect adding warmth to the fabric.
We can help you find a blending shade to co ordinate with the lace Mohair silk in both a 4ply fi*****ng yarn or 8ply double knit.
