Joining in once more with Rainbow Hare blog's Wool on Sunday. Janine's post features a gorgeous lacy granny square; well worth a look!
Two alpaca statues greet visitors at the door...
It's a knitted finger puppet!!
I was quite happy to pay $3 each for these cuties because I avoid 'fiddly' knitting projects whenever possible, especially that 'sewing up bit'!
Today's post is about some fun purchases that I made when we visited the Crestwick Woollen Mill during our recent visit to Victoria.
Alpaca yarns feature a fair bit at this mill...
This Woollen mill mainly produces beautiful clothing but that's not what caught my eye.
I have a friend and former workmate who loves Spider-Man...he has a small room in his house where he stores his collection of comics and other 'Spidey' memorabilia...he has quite a tee shirt collection too...
So when I saw this next item at the mill shop, I just had to buy it 😉
And I bought a few more too as there are a few 'little people' in our family these days. Lots of fun!
( The clothing was gorgeous at Crestwick but way too heavy to wear in Brisbane's winters. I toyed with buying a ball or two of yarn as a 'souvenir' but they were $25 for a 50gram ball as they were alpaca...but not in colours that grabbed me. So no sale as yarn at that price has to be irresistible! lol)
The finger puppets are adorable, especially Spider Man! I've tried and I'm no good at such tiny things but my grandsons sure would love them!
ReplyDeleteHow cute are they?? and $3 is not a bad price considering the fiddliness.
ReplyDeleteThose finger puppets are adorable and so teeny tiny! I can't imagine knitting anything so small. The finger puppets you bought are cute. Your friend is going to love his Spiderman puppet. He has a serious T-shirt collection, doesn't he.
ReplyDeleteJust adorable. Wow alpaca is really expensive. Now I really am motivated to learn how to spin. Since I have an alpaca now lol
ReplyDeleteThe little children in your family are going to be so pleased with those finger puppets and yes, they do look fiddly.
ReplyDeleteThose finger puppets are fun :)
