So long ago now! But Wonderwool 2024 was a sunny affair, full of laughter and cake and yarn and sharing and general joy. And it seems that I didn't buy a huge amount of yarn - shockingly.
This is pretty much all of it, with the exception of a Joe's Toes set I bought and have made but not quite finished. For some reason I didn't take a picture of the kit, I suppose because it doesn't look like much in its gauze bag.
Top - some linen from Namolio. I have already cast this on, it is going to be a stripey summer Tolsta tank top. In fact I should not forget about it, because I would like to wear it this summer.
The rest is two jumpers' worth of black yarn with some accent pale green. This is for a zecret project. In true Wonderwool style, I trawled the whole show looking for the perfect yarn, then bought something from a sale bin that would do, then found the perfect yarn. Typical. Come to think of it, I think the middle is DK and the lower 4-ply - the DK is what I needed. It's not like I won't have a use for the 4-ply, though.
Then, some non-knitting things -
A blocking board from Wombat's Woodshop, which I bought to block my hexagons. I have blocked precisely no hexagons so far. In fact, the hexagon I used to check the board was big enough is still pinned out as it is in the picture above. I'm glad I checked before I left the showground, because I bought a smaller one, so I was able to return it for a larger one before I left. The pins are old knitting needles, trimmed down. Very eco.
A kit to make a felted robin wreath. I found this again on approximately December 23rd. Oh well. This year.
Basically one of everything from the sinister cat stall. I bought the unicorn pattern to make a jumper for my niece but haven't found yarn I like yet, so perhaps this will be a Wonderwool mission for 2025.
It's good looking back over this. If I can get the zecret project on the needles before April, I can rightfully claim to have knitted up everything from 2024 before 2025. Even if I haven't finished it. Compelling!
