I was in Athlone today on the way home from Mr. Boyfriend's house and had an hour to spare. I remembered a craft shop I was in called Singer's (near Mary's Discount Store and The Suede Bar) ages ago and decided to go in for a browse. I saw some absolutely gorgeous wool that I just had to have so here are some pictures.
This first one is Patons Fab DK shade 02324, it's just so colourful! I don't really know what I'm going to knit out of it but I couldn't leave the shop without it!

This second one is Tivoli Whirl shade 968. It's pretty cool wool. To knit an absolutely awesome scarf all you need is one ball of this wool and 8mm needles. Each ball is about €7 or so. They'd make really gorgeous presents for people, I'm seriously thinking of making a few in different colours. Especially seeing as I'm not exactly rolling in money at the moment. I'm also going to add a picture of the scarf I've started. I'm so chuffed that it's actually turning out how it's supposed to!
If anybody wants to know how to knit with this wool click here! The wool shown in the video is different but the method is the same. Also, the uploader uses 4 stitches but the woman in the shop was knitting one herself with 8 stitches so I decided to follow her advice because I really like the scarf she showed me. It's actually pretty simple once you get the hang of it. It does take concentration though. Watch the video a couple of times and have a go! If can do it, anybody can.
Well that's all I have to say right now.
Toodles!
