I was lucky enough to test this colourwork beanie pattern for Dear Pru, a knit designer, teacher and all around great person, and I finished it on Friday! It was just a pleasure to make, lovely colour work hearts all round.
I used Fiddlesticks Peppin 8, which is a 100% Australian Fine Merino Wool Superwash Yarn in 8 ply (DK) and great for colourwork. The beanie is soft and cosy with a gorgeous wide double brim.
Keep an eye out for it and you can have one ready for next winter!
I have pair which I was given about 40years ago. I have been using Bamboo needles because Mr Arthritis has taken up residence and I had not knitted any adult garments for decades. So I got out my one and only pair pair of Liteflex needles and what a delight they are to use. So I have now added DPNs for my knitted socks and another pair that I would use often. So very glad I was able to get them......very similar to Tortoiseshell needles. Highly recommend.
Haven’t tried the needles yet but I’m sure they’ll be good. Shipping was nice and quick, moreover it was very neatly packaged with extra care. Thank you
I ordered 4 books and was delighted at the prompt delivery and the wonderful little gifts that accompanied them. It was a thoughtful gift and great customer service.
