What a gorgeous colour! Where does the yarn come from? I keep seeing you mention Wollmeise but never remember to ask!
The pattern is fab too, thanks for the linky Very Happy

What a lovely colour!! And the knitting looks really neat.  I've yet to try wollmeise sockenwolle- am a bit overwhelmed by their choice!  But that mitt is a good advert for it.

Here's the link.   Twisted Evil   http://shop.strato.de/epages/61425309.sf/en_US/?ViewObjectID=2740967

and here you can see her colours better and explanation of what each yarn is/cost.  
http://www.rohrspatzundwollmeise....ontent/rohrspatzundwollmeise.html

I find it best to sign up for the emails, cos then you're notified when the new stock is in, cos it sells like hot cakes and you have to be quick.   Wink

thanks, I cast on for the second last night, and whilst the kids were playing at the indoor play centre I did my first knitting in public.   Shocked   one lady actually came up to me and asked what I was doing, and she said she really liked the colour.   Laughing

CJ they are wonderful!!!


I too am a Wollmeise freak!! I knit all my test skeins and then felted them for a future project. There was the least colour loss from the process that I've seen yet. Smile
