I'm a sucker for vintage yarns

Wolle-Seide from Busse

... and Busse yarns from Nördlingen (where I have family) is one of my favourites.

 

The last Busse yarns I got were these lovely brown wool-silk blends - made in the BDR (so they have to have been made pre-1990!). I usually wouldn't knit with silk, but I might make an exeption here.

 

Any ideas what I could make with it?

Last charity knits for 2012

Last charity knits in 2012

The year 2012 was truly a year of charity knits for me - I don't know how much I actually knit but it was loads. Dozens of squares for Knit a Square, socks, cowls and mitts for the animal shelter and other things, too.

 

Here are my last charity knits for 2012: a bunch of squares, a kid's hat and two toddler vests. The vests are similar to the Mrs. Applebomb vest, just with a different gauge and without the cable (I admit, I was just lazy!)
