Cute Little Owl Row Counter

I recently got this cute little owl row counter with an issue of UK’s  “Simply Knitting” magazine.

You simply press the button on the top of his head when you finish a row and the numbers come up in his eyes – he’s been very handy!

It came with a little book of baby knits too. Cheers.

More Malabrigo.

I couldn’t resist the sale at Jellyware’s Online shop’s recently and ended up taking delivery of these little babies!

Two skeins of Malabrigo worsted and 5 skeins of Malabrigo Lace, and some free stitch markers – thanks Jodie! I have already hand wound them into centre-pull balls, and have also done some test swatches.

Here’s my Malabrigo Lace test swatch using 2mm and 3.25mm needles, and also using single and double yarn.

The Malabrigo lace yarn knits up into such a soft and delicate fabric. I prefer it on the 3.25mm needles. Cheers.

Twisted Cowl in Noro

 The twisted cowl in Noro is now complete.

It turned out well and is easy to wear. You can find my free pattern for this on Ravelry here:

Malabrigo Worsted x 4 + free buttons = :-)

I purchased some Malabrigo Worsted from Jellywares online shop during the week - love this stuff! She sent me some lovely free buttons with it. (You can find her shop if you click on her name in my blog list on my side bar.)



  I'm thinking of making this. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/eco-vest

Ive just noticed that she has some Malabrigo Lace for sale so have now purchased some of that too!

Cheers from Fran.
