Seeing red


Spent Saturday morning in Bicester with husband and daughter (and managed to return home empty handed as usual) Nipped into local Oxfam when we returned home and picked up 9 skeins of bright red Gefjun Lopi - for a grand total of £6.80! Brilliant! More than compensated for returning from shopping trip empty handed.

Knitted a swatch this evening, as I suspected it might knit up like Rowan Big Wool. And it does! Give or take a few mm's.

In my head I have visions of a knitting a big red swingy cardigan for me, which would look great in spring with jeans and Birkenstocks. I suspect it will probably end up as a rug or something infinitely more practical.
