While we were in Shetland I visited Jamieson and Smith so I could purchase the colour cards for future knitting when back in Australia. It means I can choose the colours and know they will be the actual colour which is so hard to do if you are choosing the colour from pictures on the internet. Anyway, I also bought quite a lot of wool while we were there.
I have already made the Sheepheid tam by Kate Davies and now I am onto the second item which is a cardigan for me. The cardigans, already knitted were on display in the shop and I liked the colours of the pale purple one so decided to purchase the wool to knit that.
I have finished the back and one side and have started on a sleeve.
I think I will still be knitting this by the time of the Tour de France so I will have knitting to keep me going.
These are the colours to be used on the yoke.Unfortunately I didn’t get the white which forms the background of the yoke so I have had to order that online. It is cheaper to get it sent from Scotland than buying it online from an Australian stockist.
One wall in Jamieson and Smith. I could have spent a small fortune.
Oh wow brilliant work.
Thank you.
