I'm still not sure the photographs show the true shade, but this mustard is a true mustard, with not a hint of brightness that you get so often. It would suit your beautiful vintage woollies perfectly ! xLucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657337684816762856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226192409844736639.post-46449779497087787722015-02-08T01:05:47.427-08:002015-02-08T01:05:47.427-08:00Thank you.

I also like that they sit in regimental lines, so it's really easy to see when you've made a mistake! :o) xLucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657337684816762856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226192409844736639.post-18457084123758197412015-02-08T01:04:44.657-08:002015-02-08T01:04:44.657-08:00Thank you, Bonita.

It you can knit and pearl, then you can do this stitch. I hope you manage it one day.

This one is just three stitches worked into one, but the snoods I used to knit, if I recall, were 5 into one, which gave a bigger blackberry. Really worth the time as it's a very neat little design xLucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657337684816762856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226192409844736639.post-63322665964729911182015-02-08T00:57:23.263-08:002015-02-08T00:57:23.263-08:00Thank you, Joe.

Just got to find the time to list the thing now :o) We had a little snow, nothing to write home about. My family in Cornwall had more than we did, and that's rare indeed! xxLucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657337684816762856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226192409844736639.post-57729170135880505222015-02-08T00:55:15.285-08:002015-02-08T00:55:15.285-08:00Thank you, Elise.

Our local wool shop closed a few months ago, and the one in the next town closed last month, such a shame. I know there are plenty of online suppliers, but nothing beats actually being able to feel the wool and see the true colours before you buy. I'm feeling much better now, thank you, and I'll reply to your email soon, I promise! :o) xxLucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657337684816762856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226192409844736639.post-51434922088107281992015-02-08T00:52:58.437-08:002015-02-08T00:52:58.437-08:00Thank you, Jane.
