Earlier this year while on our family holiday I made myself a Mooloolaba Shells Top designed by the ever talented Jenny King from Jenny King Designs. It is the BEST thing I think that I have made for myself I wear it alot, so much that I have now started another one in a dark rich brown Bamboo Cotton Blend called Lotus Bamboo DK, I have used this yarn for another project and thought, now I need to make something for me with it.
I wore my gorgeous Olive Mooloolaba Shells to the Qld Spinners camp in July this year and Charly the powerhouse behind Ixchelbunny was enjoying the sun with us this year, she seemed to like it, so I offered to make her one. Charly dyes the most gorgeous colourways and low and behold not long after camp a package arrived on my doorstep. It was a huge 350g of pure silk in a 4ply hand painted by Charly for her own Mooloolaba Shells. I am working away on Charly’s Shells, and don’t want to put a pic up until she has hers in her hands, so in the meantime you can check out mine, this one has been well loved (maybe a little too much)
