Last autumn I bought some madelinetosh Twist light without a real idea what I would do with it. Let’s say it was an impulse buy, I simply loved the colours and thought they might work well together but other than that, no real clue. Now I bought it on the “internet” so the colours “in silico” might not be the same as “in vivo”, but when I got the package, they luckily were….

The other big change, it will not be a jumper but a cardigan, hopefully with long or at least 3/4 sleeves, since short sleeves woollen garments do not really work well with me...

beautiful yarns :) the ripples are coming on nicely too :)
