Paola Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Having just returned from Singapore, which is 30-33 degrees 365 days a year, I have not knitted for nearly 2 years. When I have knitted in the past it has not been hugely successful!! However upon my return a good friend has introduced me to www.ravelry.com and some stunning yarns. I am completely hooked I am about to finish my first project and is quite looking forward to cooler weather so that I can wear it Anybody else on here use Ravelry?

I am PaolaF if you want to add me as a friend I am useless at doing linkys to sites The project I am doing is called Hitchhiker I will finish it tonight. DD1 and DD2 want me to knit them one each also. I got them to choose the yarn from a lady I found on Etsy who is fantastic. A friend showed me some of her Manos del Uruguay silk blend yarn The photos never seem to be able to do the yarn justice I have managed to find a great pattern on Ravelry for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
