HSKS3 Swap
My partner, Adele, has received her parcel today (after a little confusion with postcodes, DHL and a small detour to collect…) so I can now post some finished pictures of some more secret knitting to which I’ve alluded and posted some hints over the past couple of weeks - the Hufflepuff Felted Bag -
I am really pleased with the way this turned out, it was knit with some Latvian wool purchased on eBay which felted beautifully. I only put it through the washing machine once, on a 60% wash, so the fabric remained fairly soft although the stitch definition was pretty well gone. I wanted it to be a “squashy” bag not a stiff case…and it came out perfectly.
I added some little touches - a magnetic catch with the fixings neatly covered up on the flap with this wonderful Hufflepuff sew on patch
It was accompanied on it’s journey with lots of goodies picked with Adele in mind and, from her email of thanks, I think I nailed her pretty well! They were mainly picked to be black and yellow to keep the Hufflepuff theme going . I have to admit I really wanted to keep this parcel…
Adele is prefect of Hufflepuff so I have to give her congratulations on her the performance of her House so far in the Quidditch - well done Hufflepuffs.

Hi Wendy!
I stumbled across your knitting blog while looking for knitting resources in the area. I’m an American ex-pat living in Bourne End.
Do you have a favorite yarn store you would recommend that is nearby?
