The shawl pattern is by Janina Kallio and I used one skein of 8ply Nunnaba Yarns in the Wisteria colourway. Out of a 100g ball I had 7g of yarn left over and if I could change anything it would be the needle size. I wish I had used a 5.5mm needle instead of a 5mm.
I managed to finish my Halloween socks on the 30th and I absolutely love them. The yarn is Lovebird Lane Yarn, in the Freddy, colourway it's my first time knitting with this brand and I have already placed another order.
On Sunday I attended the Fibre Fest held at Singleton in NSW. It was my first time attending the festival and although I thoroughly enjoyed buying more yarn. The two standouts were meeting up with my fellow knitters and walking the grounds on this lovely convent.
While walking around the grounds it felt like I had gone back in time. And I could almost imagine scenes of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries playing out on the grounds in front of me.
As it was my first time attending I didn't realise that they held tours of the church, this is something that I would like to do next time.
A couple of days before the festival I came across a photo on Instagram of a beautiful bright pink yarn from Drover & Classer that I knew I had to have, so my first stop was the Mulberry & Flax stand where got to meet Jennifer and the very talented Rachael behind the Drover & Classer yarn. And as you can see I managed to pick up five balls of the gorgeous wild raspberry colourway in the 8ply yarn. I also managed to pick up quite a few goodies from some other pretty amazing dyers and stall holders.
It was such a lovely day and I'm so grateful for all the hard work that the NSW Knitters guild and all the stall holders put into the weekend.
Happy Saturday!
