Most of the month was taken up with joining donated squares ( plus a few granny squares of my own) into blankets for the needy. What a great feeling it was to take along 6 completed blankets to hand in.
And now the latest project that I’ve started is a knitted throw to donate to the Karuna Hospice’s Christmas Markets in late November. It’s in a mohair yarn because of 2 reasons. Firstly I have an abundance of the rather expensive Jo Sharp brand kid mohair which I bought on a whim online a number of years ago before I retired and I’m trying to use this beautiful yarn up. Secondly, I wanted a project using a light weight yarn, that I could take with me for the 5 weeks that DH and I are travelling and mohair fits the bill.
I used this same yarn to make a throw for Karuna last year too. This year, I’m adding a cream as a main colour in stripes.
I started the throw at home last week, started the coloured stripes in Dubai (2 nights there) and have taken this photo on the bed of our Dublin hotel.
This yarn goes a long way and I suspect there may be yet another throw made using it in the future perhaps. 😉😆
