This book comes highly recommended and so does some tucking into one's own stash.

However... If you don't have any Vinni Nielsen Nikkim Pale Sage or Elle Charcoal & Mint then we can help you😁. Rajeesah cotton is also part of the destash. Originals Stellenbosch | a delightful yarn shop stocks all 3🌿
The colours blending in with Breede River moods.

The blanket is called Desert Highway from the Mix+Match Modern Crochet Blankets book by Esme Crick. This first panel I am busy mastering is the Sedge crochet stitch #12 - one of 90 panel options in the book. Found it on Take-A-Lot.

Introducing Knotty Habit's cotton and Merino blend. Perfect for summer tees and light shawls. These colours are sublime and scream retro beach chair moods.

The Mix Tape Tee by Wool & Pine (slide 4) I think will be perfect.

Chantal's is heavenly (slide 3) I saw it I felt it and it is GORGEOUS!!!

The blanket/shawl (slide 8) pattern from Önling is also inspirational.

Whatever makes you sing. This gorgeous yarn is now stocked. If purchasing 3 or more skeins 10% discount is yours. Valid for this spring month of September.

Oh yes the names are equally wonderful: Malmesbury, Klawer, Hotazel, Tulbagh, Napier, Carnarvon, Arniston...

This yarn is screeching happiness💕

Sh[e]aring a fraction of yesterday's highlights.

Thank you Linda and Stephen for a verrry memorable outing to your farm alpaca • My best were the Alpaca kisses, sharing the day with Claudine and Keira, the mill and the studio shop(it was difficult to leave😄)

I did not know that each Alpaca,over 200 of them, is named AND their coats are individually packed and graded. Understanding natural fibres from source to skein - So much love and care. These are happy Alpacas 🙌🏽❤️

An absolutely fascinating day❣️

Not in the pics: Our very own Springbok U20 being "tackled" by an alpaca(Yodo). Well done Keira for standing strong and the cause of hysterical laughter. The moment shall not be forgotten.
