Yarn good and some really lovely colours. First attempts for many years are looking good. Have purchased a few patterns for next projects delayed because colours not in stock. Patterns I find not so good but I am out if touch. Not at all easy to read and I have had to you tube some methods. Perhaps not aimed at the British market. Also would welcome some suggestions on alternative yarns. I knit mainly for teenage grand daughters and some of the expensive yarns are lost in their changing fashion...

The wool is lovely and knits up beautifully soft. I was disappointed that they didn’t have the wool to match the pattern. I ordered what I thought was the closet match but the yardage doesn’t seem the same and I’m going to have to put in another order. Twice the postage.

Really like the pattern, I haven't started knitting it yet though

I haven't made this yet but it does seem as if the pattern instructions are very simplistic and don't give enough detail. I think it will be down to trial and error!

Haven't started knitting properly yet. Can't wait though. Changed the yarn to Hayfield Super Chunky with Wool. Test square looks good but much more informal than soft, fluffy original picture.
