So that's the sound of one hand clapping.

Day 2

I love a nice bit of wool, and when I noticed tapestry wool in our local charity shop I knew I had to find something to make with it.  Lots of lovely colours, moth-proof, colour-fast but not massively long . . . stripey scarves were the way to go!  I knitted seven scarves of different widths, changing the colour whenever I got bored and this is what I ended up with:



But then, of course, I couldn't stop buying tapestry wool.  And once both children had a blanket (and I was so over scarves) I needed to find a new project to justify the hoard collection:


A basic granny square was all it took (probably cost more to buy the cream wool for the background than the rest of the wool in the blanket) and suddenly there's space in the cupboard for more crazy.

Because now, of course, I still have some wool but not enough to make something with and it seems to be tapestry season again with lots of great colours . . .
