Tornado over London? Well not too sure about that, but our members were certainly whirlwind knitters with our Tornado over London colourways from Quarter 1 of the Power of 3 and Slimmers’ clubs.
If you haven’t knitted yours yet, here’s a selection to inspire you…
Dye for Yarn – Tornado over London
The lovely Louise Tilbrook knitted the Velvet Rose Shawl by Helen Stewart. I think this is gorgeous and am seriously tempted to turn my DFY skein into this too, but my skein is reserved for the P/Hop Commonwealth Games Knit-a-long.
Linda (aka Lindarose287) bought 2 of these wonderfully fluffy skeins and knitted this gorgeous cardi called Hematite by Lisa Mutch.
Linda took advantage of the incredibly long length of this 100 g skein – a whopping 480 metres! I’m sure you agree, the results are fabulous. as is Linda’s figure – well jel!
Yarn Garden – Miss Wilmott’s ghost
I’ve already knitted up this one, and like Linda I bought 2 skeins so that I could make Waterlily by Meghan Fernandes. I’m actually wearing it as I type – I LOVE it!
Louise (yes, she’s a v quick knitter and has already knitted 2 skeins from Q1) knitted Zilver by Lisa Mutch (ooh that Mutch girl writes some jolly good patterns) with her YG skein.
Hedgehog Fibres – Stark
Well, I cheated a little with this one, because I started knitting it up way before the post out date. Benefits of running a yarn club I guess! I chose to knit a pair of toe up socks called Brainless, a free pattern by Yarnissima.
Chrissy aka Stitched-Together also knitted socks: Fish Lips Kiss Heel socks, no less, by Sox Therapist! I need to be more adventurous in my sock knitting – I do toe up, short row heels and that’s it. MUST try other heels – I may like them!
What fabulous creations will come form Quarter 2 – Summer Harvest?

I’ve been blogging over on The Golden Skein Blog again. 🙂
Great blog post. I wish I had more Dye for Yarn. It’s lush. Need to cast on some grey. Hopefully collecting my yarn for the summer quarter tomorrow. Hooray!
Thank you TGS for the supply of fabulous yarn. Am really enjoying working with such amazing fibres.
