Calling test knitters: Thornfield
We're seeking test knitters for these beauties by Jane Burns. You don't have to do all three, but we do need all three testing if y see what I mean. They're worked in 4ply with optional beading, and there are multiple sizes for each piece (there's a short cowl version!). Interested? Please go and sign up at our shiny new ECY Testers group on Ravelry!

Fuchsia Friday
Following my last colour-themed post, when I noticed more yarn/flower colour matching happening in the garden, of course I had to play again. This time it's all about the pink. First up.. The yarn is BFL Sock in Alpine (for Kathy's Knits in Edinburgh) - it's named for the bright pinks of many alpines, e.g. saxifrage, pincushion flowers, and... That being said I have none in flower right now (just given the saxifrage a hair cut), so here it is along with sweet peas: Hydrangea (this one belonged to my Grandma and is older than me): And begonia...

Here's a preview and peek behind the scenes of what we've sent. It's a picture-heavy post, so may take a few minutes to load up, but hopefully the yarn p*cough*orn is worth the wait. ;)

5th of July Update Preview (Part 2)
Welcome to part two of tomorrow's update preview! It's just photos of yarn, but I thought the different colour combinations might help you decide (or make it worse!). First of all I did do five batches of Tempo 4ply (superwash wool/nylon) - they are Dandelion, Compost, Coppice, Steel and Antique Rose (which is a surprisingly difficult to photograph colour - it's very pale lilacy pink). Ok and the final hand dyed yarns for the update are all on Oakworth 4ply (100% superwash Polwarth wool). I am really loving this yarn and it seems you are too (it's nice to know...
