Here goes...

Time to welcome this little blog to the world!! Unfortunately I can't post a photo just now, as Mr Purl has taken off for the day with the camera, AND the scarf I want to photograph! So more on that later I spose!!
I can tell you about the picture in the title bar though! It's of one of two balls of gorgeous hand-spun, hand-dyed yarn I bought from a gorgeous little community arts shop, the Purple Paddock, in Keith, South Australia! I haven't knitted anything with handspun wool before... and am not entirely sure what to knit... but seeing as there's only two balls, it will probably end up as a beanie. Probably for me (as I can't assume everyone else likes purple as much as I do). Maybe a 'sampler' beanie... trying-out new stitches and patterns?? I'll keep you up to date... but that one's a few projects down the list after Mum's long awaited shrug and a very cute purple bunny!
