Parsley, sage, rosemary and wine

Rosemary and wine sweater
Last December, I finally picked up my crochet hooks again after several months' absence. I've been meaning to make the Rosemary sweater from Interweave Crochet for some time, and I finally went in search of some fuzzy wool in that exact shade of variegated pumpkin and gold. Alas, it was not to be found. l did find this lovely variegated wine-coloured wool instead. It's Diamond Luxury Mulberry Linen, which is an alpaca/linen/mulberry silk blend and rather lovely to work with. Note: block this yarn with vinegar added because the colour runs and rubs off on light-coloured tees.

I bring you tidings of great joy

The DC gave me a very special birthday gift today. He asked Lucy if he could be part of her forever home.



She said yes.
