valentines in the new forest xoxo

such an unusual place. we used to vacation here (when i say vacation i mean throw your dog and clothes in the car & pitch a tent when you get there). wild horses roam free, as do cattle, pigs and other wildlife.

and other goodies waiting at the house upon my return………….

the thought is to make these wonderful fingerless gloves from the new louisa harding accessories book. finding the yarn proved to be incredibly difficult. of the few shops we have in san antonio only one carries a few selections of her line of yarn. even the internet stockist proved to be equally as difficult.

part of the problem is that this pattern calls for 3 skeins of different wool. unable to find a shop in the states that had all three and in the colors given in pattern i ended up ordering them in the uk.
