The Sheep in the Looking-Glass. Mostly about knitting, with a bit about knitting in history. Stash Enhancements from Die Woll-Lust. July 16, 2013. I said I would show and tell from my visit to Die Woll-Lust. On my trip to Berlin. One of the things I particularly liked about the shop was the way the colours were arranged. Everywhere I looked there were enticing juxtapositions of colours. I was drawn to these gorgeous hanks of Filace Seta Cash. In shades of mauves and greys. This yarn, Filace Setmo. ItR...

The Sheep in the Looking-Glass. Mostly about knitting, with a bit about knitting in history. Monthly Archives: June 2013. Berlin Yarn Store Bliss. June 20, 2013. In an earlier post I wrote about buying yarn in Florence. I’ve just spent five days on a short holiday in Berlin and although I spent most of my time in the fabulous museums and art galleries (and the fassbender and rausch. Aren’t these gorgeous? A clever touch – there is a comfortable bench outside to park waiting spouses! What a lovely store!

The Sheep in the Looking-Glass. Mostly about knitting, with a bit about knitting in history. Knitting in History – Victorian Baby’s Sock 5. May 13, 2013. Well, it’s finished. What have I learnt from this test of a design published in 1880? This design is quite sweet but I think a similar effect could be achieved more simply. The stitched on lace border is charming – see my previous post for instructions – BUT the seam around the leg is quite clumsy. May 5, 2013. The middle example in pink is Orkney Angora.

The Sheep in the Looking-Glass. Mostly about knitting, with a bit about knitting in history. Yarn from Florence or Italian Sunshine for the Winter. April 18, 2013. On holiday in Florence last summer I left the well trodden tourist streets to visit the yarn store Campolmi Roberto Filati. There was a display of small samples each shown in just one colour, and I was a bit discouraged. I like to be able to squish and muse. The yellow was the first onto the needles. I had no information about the yarn....
