Little Big



























Little effort

Big needles

Little time

Big satisfaction

[A little piece that has been streamlined from the original and can now be made with my eyes closed. A simple, quick and easy piece to layer over fitted fine black knits. Did I say quick? I started this morning and have almost finished the front over the course of an afternoon spent drinking ginger tea and chatting with family.]


Details: Habu Lamb Linen in Charcoal and STR Medium-weight in Shadow.

Lovely. I need to knit my Ink Flare and then that! My favourite knits are fast ones and that sounds super quick!

I envy people who like big needles. Hard as I try, knowing I could whip things up, I just can't like them! I love ginger tea. I am thinking of making some of my own by infusion!! Glad to know you are havng some respite from work!!
