Knitting a New Hat! must be getting cold…

Whilst shopping for threads recently I picked up a gorgeous ball of King Cole Riot chunky wool.

Beautiful ‘Moors’ colourway , multi tonal shades of pink , green and purple , it has 30 % wool for warmth , just what I need.Well I couldn’t leave it on the shelf so it came home with me ,I did not know what I was going to do with it, just had to have ,but now I do!

I have decided to do a 1 x 1 rib pattern ,  to show off the gorgeous colours.

I used to knit a lot when the boys were small,but now I only knit a few times a year usually hats & gloves but I have also had a go at  flowers and frills,which I shall show you another time.

Be back soon,

Kim
