A long but worth while day


Today I moved into a new flat which will be mine for the next year. A lovely environment where I can work to my hearts content. After moving what felt like hundreds of boxes I settled down to have a cup of tea and make some more barnicals:

2 x Grey (Double Knit) wool over a Structured Cardboard Cone
2 x Blue (4 Ply) Wool using a 5mm crochet hook
2 x Blue (4 Ply) Wool over a Structured Cardboard Cone
5 x Blue (4 Ply) Wool using a 4mm crochet hook

I used the reliable grey wool to begin with and structure cones to get into the swing of things until my crochet hook could be found. After this I found the blue wool and hook a natural partner. It was effortless to work with and the results have turned out well, no fraying or tugging. Maybe this wool will work well with the elders and jesters outfits as it will bring colour to the elders and neutralise the jesters bright colours and link them to the other breathers.

Tomorrow I plan on trying some new wools and seeing if they will be good to work with. I brought a Koala (100% Acrylic) wool which i feel will create some interesting barnicals.
