mara

The past few days have really felt like autumn. Lots of orange, yellow and brown leaves falling from the trees, so much rain and it is colder. I made soup for the first time this year and we have even turned on the heating at home. It is has also been perfect knitting weather. I am really loving knitting, watching the even stitches come together and learning all sorts of new techniques. A few weeks back I finished my mara shawl and have been wearing it since.



It is such a squishy comforting wrap which can be worn over my shoulders, like a scarf or tied to hang forward. I used 3 skeins of  Madelinetosh tosh dk in rose which was such a beautiful yarn to work with. I must admit  I understand what all of the madtosh fuss is about! I have been really trying to show some constraint with online yarn purchasing and ignoring how unbelievably good the aussie dollar is at the moment, perhaps more successfully next week!

 

Ravelled here.
