Jenny chose the yarn herself: Stylecraft Life Chunky, Shade 2319 Mixtures Cranberry, which is 75% Acrylic/25% Wool. The tunic features a “skirt” of lacework and a top of ribbing, with a cowl collar. It’s a beautiful garment, designed by Pat Menchini.

It’s a lovely colour 🙂 I look forward to seeing the finished object.
Thanks 🙂 It’s growing quite quickly 🙂
Steve I really like that. It looks like very nice yarn and a great color. Jenny is so lucky. I am just curious, does Jenny knit?
Thanks 🙂 It’s lovely yarn to work with. Jenny does indeed knit 🙂
That is so nice. You can knit together and for each other. Love it!
Thanks 🙂 It’s a real pleasure being in a kind of “knitting communion” 😉 At the moment, Jenny’s trying out making a teddy bear in eyelash yarn – looking interesting so far 🙂
